It’s yellow.

Since having 6 cars and little time apparently isn’t enough. Here’s the newcomer: a 2010 Renault Mégane RS with the cup chassis. I’ll get it next week-end and write a bit more about it.

Nice! Did you buy this one to replace the Audi, or does it fill the RX8 shaped hole?

Both actually, I plan on selling the Audi quickly, and this will become my semi-daily driver, sharing the duty with the Pajero for the next months, since the Pajero needs to be broken in now.

The current line-up includes:

1960 Bel Air 4 door I6, currently engineless

1960 Bel Air 2 door V8, running and driving

1987 Pajero turbo diesel, needing some fixes after an engine swap

1988 Peugeot 505 V6, with some serious rust, which I plan to attack this summer

1989 Peugeot 505 GTD, former daily driver, currently engineless

2006 Audi A4 1.9 TDI, which I spent 3000€ in parts on in the last 13 months, never buy a retiree car

2010 Renault Mégane RS, yellow, and fast

I drove it for the first time yesterday, and it’s a thrill to drive. I found it less engaging than the RX-8, but more brutal

There were a Golf GTI, an Astra OPC, a Focus RS, another ST, and a R33 Skyline (not for sale) they had a great selection

That is a beautiful fleet line-up and I am jealous of the two Bel Airs (especially the two door)! Quite interested to hear your thoughts on the RS once you pick it up, as it always seemed like a fun runabout that we sadly don’t get in the US.
