    Newbie from West Mids

    Ash, Nice to see you here and glad my little baby has gone to a good home. Wish circumstances had not forced me to have to get rid of it, but perhaps one day I can get back to the Renaultsport fold with the Clio V6 255 I really want. Have fun with her. Regards Tim

    Which to buy: Nimbus or Albi?

    Hi there, NIMBUS !!!! Well I would say that wouldn't I ?? Seriously Nimbus does look superb, especially when clean and to be honest doesn't show the dirt up that much either. Still looks good a few days after its washed. Probably doesn't shout look at me like a blue one though. As...
