It's a sad day because my Croma is going tomorrow. I have replaced it with a Renault Espace 3.5 V6 Initiale!! It's equipped to the hilt (all working so far) and there is a tow bar to attach the petrol tanker to

The poor thing - Dumped - just because of one little wrinkle. I'm glad I'm not your bird.

3500 V6 - Crikey. The tax disc must have hurt.

Have lots of fun in your crazy new van, best of luck. See you when you come back with another Croma.

Same price as the Croma!! Nuts eh?
I'll be back when I track down the Maserati engined one from the launch

if ful cap lock bit still works remove it, no one will notice and some one here will buy it

So thats the 2.4s down to 33 then........ or will we see it again as a CAT D?

Good luck with the Espace Hal' - and let me know if you come across a 166 3.2 anywhere (other than the ridiculous £10k on Autotrader )

Sorry to see you go halilson.

Hope the Renault works out well for you, damn shame what happened to your Croma.

Really, the part in bold is all that needs said, it's what most owners say just before they pick up the key every day

the Croma looked stunning, would like one that looked like that tbh

Why do the words frying pan and fire keep flashing through mind?

Can I recommend my friend Trixie Whiplash? I think you might like her.

Best of luck Halison, I was a renault man when the 21 savanna was king!!!. They have not taken too well to being shackled when the computer / emmisions brigade got there teeth into the present day cars . Thats why i went to Fiat---oh wait a mo!!!
You will be sadly missed on here.

you guys know he will be back dont you? they always come back

There are only 32 of my model Espace!!! At least the majority of the parts are interchangeable and the engine is from the Nissan 350z so plenty of knowledge there. I can buy uprated shocks and springs etc without having to fit Vauxhall equivalents. Now where did I put my fuel card.......

Sounds mental (241 BHP?). But does it go round corners like a 350Z?

It is stupidly quick and sounds awesome. It will do by the time I've finished with it

Sorry to see you go Halilson, wish you all the luck and a problem free operation of your new car.
Vento

Well what an ending,must feel like losing a best mate or is that just sad me, lol.I presume a deal couldn't be done to buy it back?
Good luck pal,the aulde froggy will be sound.

Get a 159 3.2. Total power king with 4wd.

166 is in a different class to the 159!

Rust will be better controlled that's for sure. But a 159 with a 3.2 and Q4 would destroy a 166 on a A or B road.

You don't buy a 166 to drive a rally! Point to point a 147 GTA is the beast to have.

147 GTA I have driven, too nose heavy, only front wheel drive, if it had Q4 then it would of been a brilliant car, sadly not and eats front tyres in less than 5000 miles. Would of been great if the 2.4 Croma had Q4, as it's the same engine as in the 159.
