Slightly off topic here as no Williams involvement - but still Renault.
Did a road trip to Wales yesterday with my Dad, me in the 172 Cup and my Dad in his immaculate Carlton GSi 3000.
Some fantastic well surfaced roads in Wales, great early morning when the roads were quiet, not as good once all the meandering morons came out.
Got over to Bala and Blaenau Ffestiniog, did a great loop, my new front suspension is definitely bedded in now 😉

Sounds great Phil...unfortunately the general condition of the roads in my area is RUBBISH!! :roll:
Cheers E
nice, that carlton is epic, pimped Vauxhall's were always on my radar as a kit, Dad's mates grey mk2 Sri 130 Cav was car I always coveted
You need a road trip to Wales Ian. If you time it right, you get epic roads with light traffic and the Welsh police dont seem to be anything like as anti car/bike as they used to be.Quote:

Although it gets used regularly, its never out in winter! I reckon that it would do really well in a concours event.Quote:

Where I live in Hants there is still a dark green Carlton 3000 undercover cop car. I saw it twice, once in my M5 as I slowly cruised past it in my M5 (he pulled in front of me and put the POLICE SLOW back LED's on). And again shortly after in town with a load of marked vehicles pushing through rush hour traffic, Southampton.
