    Renault at Powderham (56k be advised!)

    Here are a few pics as promised from the Renault Launch at Powderham castle. Not many pics as was mainly an outdoor showroom, thus not very exciting Also traffic was so horrendous that I only drove one Laguna, and that was literally sat in traffic for 15mins without moving so I gave up!

    Entrance...


    Hospitality...


    I give you... The Modus, Tah-Dah!



    Drove this loverly black 2.2 GT diesel


    But we weren't allowed to drive The Beast


    And finally, you'd think the Renault guy at the back had never seen it work...


    Was a nice day out though, shame the traffic stopped us playing.

    The way the CC folds up though is just special. Took me a few goes before I got over it.

    I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time.... It was them that started me drinking.

    Yeah they're nice looking cars, just a little gutless due to the weight - they're soooo heavy it's silly.

    Saying that though that's not what they're about. Posing however they do very well.
