Hello all, nice to meet you.

Hi evrybody, just found this site and thought I may as well join up. Bought myself a 230 F1 as a bit of a hooligan's toy. Have been a Honda man through and through for years, owning all sorts of fast machinary culminating in an Integra Type R (fantastic machine, a true drivers' car), however, new house forced me to sell that a couple of years back. Honda then sold out to the marketing men: the old and new Civic Type Rs were not a patch on the old Integra. Thought my days of trying to kill myself behind the wheel were over. Then an article in EVO magazine banged on about this new Renault 230 F1 and gave it rave reviews. I've bought a few cars on their recommendations and they were bang on the money. Renault have had the balls to make an out and out driver's car capable of filling the Integra's shoes. Well done them. Now, they just need to get thier build quality sorted. We'll call it character shall we. Which is best? A tough call. They're both superb cars. The Renault's quicker but less forgiving at the limit. Anyway, I've banged on long enough. Drive quickly but safely all. Steve... Now if only I can work out how to put some pictures on this bloody thing... Anyone know? If you do, please write it in noddy computer speak for someone who's computer illiterate.

Take care

Wellcome to the club !!

Thank you all for you kind welcome. Basenji, not had mine on a track yet, but if what it's like on the road is anything to go by, then it will be a whole lot of fun. They did a hot hatch group test in EVO magazine and it wiped the floor with cars like the Golf GTi, Focus ST, Astra VXR etc. I'm happy with it.
Cheers all
Steve
