Steve Sutcliffe

Um, and it was just a, a joyous little thing.

I mean, I know that our fellow contributor, Steve Sutcliffe, drove it to Italy and back in, like, overnight record time, um, just by, you know, getting to Calais, putting his foot, you know, on the floor, on, on the floor in fifth gear and not lifting it until he got there.

Um, they were really, really great cars.

And, you know, I have said in the past that I thought it was a mistake to not tool up for right-hand drive, and if... a- and there's been a bit of pushback 'cause people will say, "Well, come on, you know, this was a car where there was almost no margin at all, and its real purpose was to get people, you know, young people onto the Renault ladder so that they can then go make their money out of buying, you know, Clios and Meganes and Lagunas and whatever else they were making at the time." I still think it was a mistake.
