Hello, future R26.R owner. Hopefully... :)

Discussion in 'New to the Club? Why not introduce yourself?' started by dan.rb.r27, Mar 16, 2015.

  1. Hello. Fairly new to the club, I have a R27 so not new to the RenaultSport family.

    Been on the look out for a R26.R for over a year now, still waiting for the right one. Hopefully the wait will pay off :rolleyes:

  2. Welcome along. Good luck with your search. Have you tried Steve at All Vehicles in Surrey ?

    Welcome mate, hope you're not searching too much longer.
     
  4. Thanks a lot. I have seen the last two at All Vehicles and was tempted, but I'm too picky :smile:
     
  5. Really? I thought the Black one that he sold recently was under 10k miles and was mint ? Or was it just the colour.
     
  6. Colour was the main factor for me on that one unfortunately. I know it's a bit silly to pass on a mint car on colour, but I'm not a fan of black cars in general. Shame really.
     
  7. I was originally looking for a Lunar Grey one but found a Pearl White one 15 minutes from my doorstep. :smiley:
     
  8. Haha how lucky was that!? I'd love a LG too to be fair, or a RB to match my Clio :rolleyes: the rarer coloured cars must be locked away for keeps. Don't think I've ever seen a LY R for sale.
     
  9. Hello and welcome :smile:
     
  10. I've only seen one LY for sale. I bumped into the bloke that bought it last year at Brands Hatch. Turns out, he only lives just up the road too :eek:
    Owned mine for just over 2 years and haven't seen another Pearl White one for sale since.
     
  11. Welcome
     
  12. Hope u find the one u want mate. I was lucky enough to find my perfect one last year but it took nearly 2 years of patience to get it.
     
  13. Pearl white is a bit of a Bum colour, not the one to go for.
     
  14. It's better than the "poverty spec" Glacier White :wink:
     
  15. Colour is subjective. I really like white R's, the pearl white is just a bit different. To be honest, I'd take any R colour but black.
     
  16. cheers mate. It'll be worth the wait I'm sure
     
  17. Not a big fan of black R's either, although they do look alot better in person. Love white R's and was so tempted to buy one but im glad i waited which paid off eventually. I may of missed it in this thread or the other one but whats ur favourite colour for the R mate?
     
  18. I agree they look well in person. They just lose some of the features in black, and being a little OCD on keeping cars clean, I couldn't own a black car haha. I like a fair few, RB (have a RB R27) and LG but quite fancy a pearl white. What's yours?
     
  19. I would not we waiting around as prices appear to be firming up, especially at the top end.

    I was not keen on black or white so was lucky to get a Luna Grey one in a private sale. Have not see another car advertised for less since I bought it 18 months ago.

    Hope you find the one you want.
     
  20. Yh i had a black clio not so long ago, never again lol although it was only a run about car so was never gonna get the treatment the .R gets. Other than black i like all the colours to be honest, i came very close to buying a white one a couple of times but thought if a different colour came up for sale after, ide be kicking myself so decided to play the waiting game lol. im lucky enough to have a low mileage Rb with all options. Have u driven a .R yet by any chance?
     
  21. Love mine. Pearl White. 1 and only owner.

  22. Lucky guy! I suppose your not ready to sell then by any chance? :confused: And I haven't driven an R yet but a few R26's so I can only imagine the difference the weight saving makes and the feeling in the cabin when harnessed into the Sabelts.

    I can see prices firming but surely they can't keep rising at the same rate for long. At least I hope until I get what I'm looking for lol
     
  23. great looking car mate :smiley:
     
  24. haha not at the moment sorry mate, although ive always had a huge soft spot for and exige and driving past one everyday on the way to work isnt helping =/ lol . im the opposite, driven/own a .R but not a normal r26 haha. u still got ur clio? if so u shld do the bedford renaultsport trackday, more than welcome to take u around in mine or drive it etc if u havent brought one by then.
     
  25. funny you mention it, an Exige S2 is my back up plan should I not find the right Meg. I'm slowly getting frustrated playing the long waiting game haha. I do still have the Clio, not planning on getting rid of that it's mint. Thanks for the offer mate, I don't have any plans to attend at the minute but if that changes I'll give you a shout, appreciate the offer.
     
  26. Where abouts in Leicester are you from
     
  27. From just outside Hinckley mate
     
  28. Near me then I'm in burbage look forward to seeing it about
     
  29. Exact as mine , I'm liking the price increases
     
  30. Its not the same as yours Steve...yours is much better :wink:
