that was the biggest disappointment of my 5 Turbo 2, it had the standard 5 interior with Gordini seats in some stretchy beige fabric. Nothing like as special as the mechanically identical Turbo 1. The worst part was the fuel guage wich was tiny and fine for a 5 gal tank on a base model but the Turbo 2 tank held 20 gallons. It caught me out once because the low fuel light used to come on with 5 gals still in the tank so I was never sure how far to push it until I ran out on the A3M northbound near Cobham on a Sunday evening 2330! I started the long walk on the hard shoulder to the petrol station at Tolworth only to be picked up by a friend who spotted the car on the hard shoulder and found me about 1/4 mile up the road! What were the odds!

Having to rescue a friend with a small French car? Pretty high I'd say

Glad I did not have to spend a whole shift in that top photo... even the 306s I had looked massive for a patrol car in comparison.

I'm pretty sure that's from a scene in a French comedy movie just can't recall which one.

Renault Laguna coupe GT
From the front three-quarter it comes across as a mélange between a Peugeot Coupe, a Fiat Coupe and, in the grillage, some sort of Aston Martin. Which is perhaps not that surprising because the Renault guy who designed the Laguna Coupe was an Aston owner.

Moving around to the rear three-quarter, a whiff of Mercedes CLA?. What does the raised centre section of the bootlid remind you of? It’s Alpine A110 all day long. (From Pistonheads)
