"speaking of which, that video prodded me into action and after a
couple of weeks of research i test drove an r5 turbo2 this morning.
its a truly amazing car - i've never driven anything so fast through
corners.  this was a very original car with the factory 185hp upgrade.
i'm probably going to buy it, but i'm looking at a couple of others
next week.  there are only 50 of them in the UK."


Is that the Renault turbo Le Car(as it was known in the USA) ?  I hope its
better than the Renault Fuego Turbo I had back in the 80's.  That car was a
complete piece of  *&%!  The year I owned it it was one disaster after
another.  Timing chain slipped, turbo burned out, refused to start for two
days straight and then mysteriously started up and had to cancel the tow truck
ready to haul it to the dealer,  muti-speed wiper decided it was a one speed
wiper that parked randomly on the window when shut off.,  parking brake light
went on for no apparent reason....etc.    Had to buy another car and spent two
months trying to sell the Fuego.


                                                                             
                                                                    Jeff
