God I still love my FWDs and with this sh1te conditions we've been having over the winter I am really drawn to go back to a hot hatch.
The lift off oversteer in the Clio Cup was excellent fun and quite frequently I could do this on track days, but not in those settings
I've had a couple of quick Clios before and the only next step would have to be the trophy
I borrowed one from Renault for a 24 hour test drive when they first came out and I was extremely impressed!!

I met Jean Ragnotti when I was about 9 years old.
I was staying with a French family whose mother was a schoolfriend of my mother's, the father was a huge motorsport fan and every time I went to stay with them, he'd always take us to some event or other.
He was some kind of sponsor or bigwig at a tarmac rally event near Fontainebleau and one of the perks was access to the paddock full of rally cars, Ragnotti's Alpine being one of them. I got to sit in the driver's seat and have (at the time) indecipherable French babbled at me by a man I later discovered to be Jean Ragnotti.

Feck me Mark. Is there anything you haven't done?
Bet you shagged his daughter too.

I think you're getting me mixed up with Bada

I'm not really a fan of rally, though I so appriciate their fantastic driving skills. I find it much easier to relate to tarmac rallying, and loved this clip of JR
