That car looks seriously lowered? Which would enhance the look if so.

Photo angle + old wheels on the back makes it look a lot lower than it is normally... but yeah it is on a slight spring drop too  :whistle:

I went to the dealer because I noticed that two of my wheels have lacquer lifting and on the way had a cop pull straight out in front of me in one of those Nissan Leaf things on a roundabout. When I pulled up at the lights beside him at the lights and I told exactly what I thought of his dumb driving and asked if he was not supposed to be a professional driver to which the cop in the passenger side said 'they gave him a bloody Leaf, thats how professional he is' I nearly wet myself laughing.

As for the wheels, both need replacing, below is the worst one.

Yesterday did 350 miles in the R estate down to the Loire and whilst I do think Rs can be a bit boring the fact that they are a bit sort of makes it rather good

Perfect Q car for France with a turn of speed to upset the Peugeot owners who want you to get out of the way when you are waiting for the Renault owner to do the same thing, did enjoy engaging sport mode and giving them a wave bye bye before flooring it

French autoroutes are great for ACC, first time i have tried ACC in sport and makes you laugh how it accelerates back up to the preset speed

Even better did not see a R all day so no lease deals for the derv loving French

Certainly got the bug quota up

A few incidents lately dented my love for this car. I even seriously considered changing it last week. A deal was on the table and I was tempted.

But I saw some sense! Got it serviced and spent a few hours cleaning it  :smiley: Saved myself thousands!!

Glad to hear that the few issues you've had recently haven't swayed you Joe and it's looking stunning.

I saw a 17 plate R in DBP this morning and it looked fantastic. Much prefer it to Lapiz or white which is what you normally see the R in.

Now why would you want to chop that in Joe. Glad you've seen sense.
