Morning all, am I in the right thread?

Early finish today as need to get my eyes checked, starting to appreciate French cars - obviously time for some new glasses :)

I forgot to mention, whilst on the way in I saw a Clio V6. What a marvellously bonkers car.

Definitely on my shopping list if I won the lottery (yes I know they're not mega money, but there are more cars I'd buy in front of one), and had space to store it.

They’re a lot if you remember how much they used to be. They were on my dream car list after seeing two at the top of Mount Ventoux. Then I drive one and they’re actually a bit meh. Didn’t blow my skirt up.

Luckily for you I’ve just negotiated a deal on another thread.
I’ll give you £34.67 to take it off your hands.

Were you talking about the car? In which case you do realise it’s an e-class Merc so comes with a pre-owned catheter bag and some used Tena for men.

Morning, late, chaps

Forgot to log in. Been to Reigate this morning, terrible traffic.

Back home and working.

Have a good one.

There was one on a track day at Brands a few years ago, it spun at nearly every corner. Quite a few of the other drivers complained that the driver was dangerous until one of them went out in the car and realised it was nothing to do with the driver it just wanted to kill anyone who drove it

I heard that the series 1 Clio V6 was like that, however, the Series 2, was a far more manageable beast.

Where do you get the 2,000 from do you mean within the whole of the EU as France no where near that.
I did check last night the stats and they are down to circa 350 a day now, my high figure was one I saw on the tv a few weeks back

Good Morning Crew.
Haven't really done much this week and it's flown by so today I aim to get my lawns cut.
Fire going and espresso machine revving so no rush.
All talk about exciting lockdown here but we need infections to be below 5,000 a day and to me the problem ahead is the people not taking the vaccine.
Stay Safe all.

Not many French cars I like but that I would have. This is what they do best when they put their mind to it. Crazy cars....Shame that most of the time they decide to go the dull as ditch water route.
I don't think we can describe Alpine or Gordini in that group Andy but yes they have produced some rubbish along with the others.

Hello you lot!

Golly, I missed most of the week on here as I've had feckin' tonsillitis again, because I haven't had any time off this year. Hopefully there'll be a chance to take a break in the next month as we finally head towards closing the last messy chapter and can settle into a few nice new things.

For any of you daftly interested in what I may do, or you like geeky medical stuff, have a look at this announcement we made on Monday:

What else today? Oh yes, poets :eek:) and then larking about by the river with ladies and then taking it to the pub.

HapPea Friday! xXx
