The spam routine by Monty Python
…at least Mitsubishi, Chevrolet, Jeep, Pontiac, Nissan, Ford, Mazda, Audi, Volvo, Toyota, Suzuki, Saab, Ferrari, Dodge, Kia and Fiat seem to think so, because I killed their message 😀
Didn’t mamma ever tell them not to spam? Good thing I drive a Renault 😉
Ooh! My poor fellow…a Renault. I feel sorry for you.
I have to say, the Renault probably has the sorriest excuse for a transmission of any car I’ve ever driven. Hopefully you have an automatic. 🙂
Actually, I’m quite happy with my Clio 1.6 which boasts 100HP and a top speed of 200 km/h even though its almost ten years old. And it’s not an automatic 😀
Hehe. The Clio was the model I was refering to. But you may have a better model. The one I drove was old, and certainly not a high end model. I don’t doubt the HP & speed. I just think the gear shift was rather klunky (not smooth).
Also, if I remember correctly the gas pedal on some of the older renaults was usually a little tiny metallic nub. I always thought this was quite unusual. The clutch & brake pedals were normal size. Hmm, maybe it was designed to psychologically persuade the driver to drive slower. 🙂
Hehehe 😀 could be… But I have no complaints against the gas pedal – nor against the transmision. But I was driving a Skoda Favorit beforehand, so Clio was a move forward in any case 😀
I find it somehow amusing if I see a “škoda” 😉 Slovenia. From what I’ve heard it has the same meaning in Slovak aswell – but there it’s also a women’s name (I asked a Slovak who’s learning Slovene). Ok, a (Slovene) friend of mine is called “Saxony” and studied German – but I couldn’t imagine to call my daughter “it’s a pitty”…
My work gave me a Renault Mégane to drive and even though it is well equipped, I think it sucks drivewise and it accelerates like a tired tortoise. My own Toyota Corolla (two years old this July) is way more pleasant to drive and it accelerates like a good car should. On top of that, the Mégane looks like a clothes iron with that straight back window. Oh well, at least it’s free and I’ve got a tank card to boot. But if you see a black Toyota Corolla with Belgian license plates roam around Ljubljana, you can be sure it’s me… 😉
