A bit of fun down the back lanes this morning - She handles well :-)

  1. Had to come the long way to work this morning (as its sunny and theirs a 20mph limit on the road I usually use). This meant using Cheshire's finest B roads on this gorgeous sunny Friday morning.
    Haven't owned the Megane all that long and really wasn't aware of its handling capabilities, never the less a Brand New Merc E350 tried having a go, so obviously I was obliged to show the mustache wearing German barge how good these Renault Sports are.
    And wow, I was very very impressed with the set up. Doing breakneck speeds (up in the ar*e end of the Merc all the way) over 30mph more than I could do in my previous car, tuned Astra Coupe Turbo and the Merc couldnt do anything even on the straights. Thankfully I'm glad to report just how good my Brembo 4 Pots are, when I really had to test them on a very very tight right hander - Squicky bum time :eek:

    Overall I'm loving the 225 Cup/Lux. Cant wait for the drive back home later. Then again it is Friday 13th so I might just take it easy on the way back :wink:

  3. Its quite amazing isn't it how capable they are even as a 11 year old (as mine is) car. I love embarrassing substantially more expensive cars off the lights/round the twisties. A few more choice mods and they are belting. I live in Kendal up in the lakes and its a fantastic place to go for a drive in the sunshine. Also got the dales on the other side of me so these cars come into their own. Enjoy it.
     
  4. I wont do mate
     
  5. Exactly mate and mine is standard bar the exhaust. it sounds very nice where you are too mate
     
  6. Wow, sounds like you had fun :smile:

    The extra speed says more about the Astra than the Megane though, to me.

  7. The Astra wasn't slow with 240+ bhp just handled badly so was slow out of the corners etc
     
  8. Thinking of having her lowered. I see that alot of people use the Cook Sport springs (when there is some available), do these also improve the handling even further?
