Hi all
Just to say 'hello' - I have purchased metallic blue C33 WRK from Paul, who has been a splendid seller, and enjoyed a memorable blast from Wiltshire back to South Gloucester in it, through the seasonal murk this afternoon
C33 WRK is the ex Renault press car that featured in a primeval episode of Top Gear, amongst other outings. It is in great original condition, I believe after extensive open heart surgery at RATS
I have a bit of Gallic 'previous' in that I owned a red GTA Turbo (E800 EPG from memory) as my daily drive in the early 90s, and then had a RHD Le Mans in the garage (#17 or #18, I can never remember, but it has been at the NEC a few times since) alongside a blue Sport Spider, for a while - an iconic combination.
C33 WRK brings all those memories flooding back - telepathic steering, sorted, compliant, arrow-like stability on all surfaces, effortless overtaking oomph when the engine is in the zone, and so on. Love it !
Look forward to getting into the Dieppe scene again - I understand that parts are a little bit more scarce this time round ! Apologies for any simplistic questions in future posts - I will try to deploy the 'search' functionality first
Thanks in advance
Chris
