Newbie from Cumbria

[Moomin_Man]

New to Renault scene, always been VW or Mercedes.
Karl told me about this place as im picking up my new 133 silverstone in a few weeks.
Might make a few mods but nothing i can't reverse. Induction kit and a custom sat nav housing to make it look built in somehow. Had planned to lower it but after going for one with the cup chassis theres no point changing something that already works so well!
Can't wait to get some pics up and get to know everyone!
Any meets up near Cumbria?

No idea, all i know is that its in southport/southampton (can't remember which) and it will be here soon.
The guy at the showroom said it was one of the last ones. Said there was only two or three still for sale. Not sure how true that is, probably just wanted me to make a deposit faster. xD

Will be southampton as thats where the docks are.

I know a few weeks back Renault London west had silverstone number 3 in stock. but i dont know how many more are still withing the dealer network.

Who knows you may be number 4!! What made you go for a Silverstone if you don't mind me asking?! Was it there exclusivity? Don't mod if too much - they'll be a rarity in years to come. They're a rarity even now!

Thanks for the warm welcome all!

I was going for a standard twingo 133 cup, but then i got drawn in by the full stainless exhaust, novelty g-meter and glossy black roof, wheels and wing mirrors. Of course the fact it's limited too; and the track day experience they throw in for it helped. Paying about £2000 more for it, but, i hope it's worth it.

Any meets up near Cumbria?

Welcome aboard...

There are a few of us in the Fylde Coast / Blackpool area.

A meet in some of that lovely Lake District scenery would make a good day out and some super photo opportunities :idea:

Sounds good to me!
If anybody has heard of 'Surprise View' near Keswick, that is the perfect meet up spot!

Higher than it looks in photo, good steep drive up with a rewarding view and small dusty car park

Picking the car up in 24 hours...about bloody time, anticipation has been killing me. :twisted:

 

[Karl]

Happy days do you know the number?

It will be nice and subtle, but they will be visible

Black externals are realy subtle as they only realy show when up close
