the beast is going to the great scrap yard in the sky. its on 160k now, the shells mint, but everything else is starting to go, like electrics, that sorta thing. was looking at dumping the williams lump in a clio, but u need to spend 2k on a clio for a decent shell, so i thought i might as well buy a new car. the williams lump is going into my dads phase 2 19, so il make sure i get some driving in that.

me want shell, me want shell, me want shell...

Meganes a bit girly though, not that quick either tbh. The 19 walks away from the megane 2litre 16V cabs easily.

the coupe is rapid. it weighs less than a 19 16v beleive it or not, mainly due to the lack of a hatch, and big heavy cast manifold(runs a 4-2-1 tubular jobbie). nice n torquey as well - 140lb/ft.

chris pm me about the shell

hahahahahahaha, well there is that, but the sunroof mech is faulty as well, and the heater matrix will need repalcing at some point.
