      <content:encoded><![CDATA[Evening, haven&#039;t posted since selling the meg a while ago. So went the sensible family route and got a Mercedes gla, lasted 18 months then realised im still a boy racer at heart lol. So march this year i picked up my shadow edition m140i with a host of goodies. And i must say what a bit of an animal it was in stock form but after 2 weeks of ownership the slippery slope of modifying started AGAIN. So few suspension goodies and engine mods including a trip to rs tuning shes now sitting happily...<br />

Some pretty trick stuff on them and high power to weight.<br />

That biposto looks crazy.<br />

Wife had the base 500 abarth as courtesy car and that was poor. But 595 comp with performance pack has 180 bhp and lsd, koni suspension  pretty big brembos, loud exhaust. Only weighs a tonne.<br />

The good ones are pretty pricey but like renault drop like a stone in first coupld of years and flatten out.]]></content:encoded>

Will be interesting to see one in the flesh and see the reviews once it hits British roads. Which will be sooner that the Mk4 trophy lol. <br />

 So I met up with a mate of mine today and we took the Megane and his 308 GTI out for a blast. We had a swap round for quite a few miles of twisty back road driving and well the car was a total blast. Maybe unfair to compare such a modern car with what I suppose is pretty old tech now in the Megane but here’s my thoughts anyway on driving the two back to back. <br />
<br />
It feels light. Really up on its toes and ready to go. That makes it lots of fun and pushes you on to...<br />

Ideally I was looking for an estate, but it was proving difficult to find something that fitted the bill. I didn&#039;t really want a diesel, as most of them seem to have plenty of potentially expensive issues so, after a lot of time spent looking online, I had narrowed it down to a 330i, Volvo T5 or an A4 2.0 TFSI.<br />

 Picked up a new bike a couple or so weeks ago. Really pleased with it. I have had k1600s for the past 6 years and love em and the latest sport fully loaded is perfect for me. Can&#039;t see me ever going back to a super sports bike now with this much comfort on hand haha.  Akrapovics are 2k and no louder than normal. Bit of a waste of money luxary

They are also going to knock out a more extreme track orientated package in addition to the basic new hot ‘N’.<br />

Might be a winner if the price/performance ratio is good and undercuts the rivals.<br />
