    Probably meant 150kph, but as far as I remember the Cossie was supposed to be able to do 150/155mph?

    Probably imported into NL long after it rolled out the factory door, the 3-letter plates over there are a relatively recent invention

    100w in the full beam, 100w in the spots, standard 55w in the fogs, there was one on the rear too so I could see where I was going because the rear windows were tinted, (ahead of my time, I was :cool: :D:D)

    Spotted yesterday, an immaculate Renault 18 of all things. Reg 83 KK on a mocked up French plate.

    Also spotted an Escort MkII claiming to be an RS 2000 but it looked rather rusty (doors) and tired for such a sought after car.

    Very nice I've a soft spot for the 18 pity you couldn't get a photo. I've great memories knocking around with a mate who had a white turbo model. Boy could that thing shift, it could guzzle too but we didn't give a damn every bob we had between the pair of us was converted to petrol....great fun though.

    There is a boards member from Kilkenny who likes his Renaults and has owned 18s, a 16, a Fuego etc. Here are two of the 18s

    I absolutely love those. If I won the lottery, I'd buy a mint condition low miler. I think Paul McCartney, who could afford any car on earth, was driving one as his every day car until he got sponsored by Lexus in the late 2000s. I saw two different interviews where he showed up in a light blue metallic version with the disc wheel trims, then drove off immediately afterwards.
