Automotive

Given that a grey specimen of the A110 regularly graces the Automotive forum here - courtesy of a member who probably posts even from behind the wheel (given the post count) - what I will write will most likely not be much news to the members here. After ...  

As much as I would probably enjoy driving this to the Hunds valley, the storage space is most probably really too small 😊🤷🏻‍♂️

I guess I am getting old for stuff like this. At least no one would know me there 😉

The possible itchiness being the price to pay 😉

😁😂

Thanks 🙏🏻

.. you can have some custom made bags to fit behind the seats.

The Alpine luggage didn’t look decent value for money unfortunately 🤷🏻‍♂️

The two cases I have yet to see 😊👍🏻

Something tells me you had a hand in these 😉👍🏻

The only ‘car guy’ decision of Carlos Tavares 😁

You are right, t high speeds, when you quickly overcome or so, it is a bit wild.... You can calm down the behavior quite easily. Go for the chassis of the S, which is more accurate, put a front spoiler and the Cup rear spoiler ( not the big one ), and wor... 

Waiting for the offers and then I will decide. There was one on stock and depending on whether the offer is appealing it might be it, or otherwise the waiting time is about 4-5 months. Still needs to pass the home council, though 😉 As for improvements, I ... 

So no really large savings there that I have seen. But will check the offer for an S with low mileage as well 👍🏻

Would the warranty expire automatically? No experience with Renault in that respect… (our last one in the family was the R30 in the early 1980s 😉).

Not all manufacturers are as understanding 🤷🏻‍♂️

And that most of my pieces were mounted by an Alpine Center, or by the company who provides competition parts to Signatech...

But then those cost an arm and a leg and if you get the same weight, all the better 👍🏻

...  

Did you keep the same tire size as the original?

Even in standard. But the changes you have done sound very reasonable. And the tire costs remain low. Did you go for semi slicks?

As for Cup 2, may be worth having a set on separate rims…

Not that different with watches 😉

And collectors often don’t have the time and do have the requisite disposable income 😉

Cool, but 265, 000 Euros. ...  

Made for you 😉

You represented a senior Renault management member in a case and this always a thank you 😁 But of course if you told us anything about your clients, we would never post again, so I understand 😂

I like to feel the emotion of the author, and this is easy to tell! I wish we had this Alpine for sale in the US. I recall hearing the brand will be sold here at some point, but I think only electric. I am not into electric cars at all, and plan to live m... 

It’s a very decent one and the shifts are spot on in Sport. You also have nice metal paddles to shift yourself, if you so please and they’re attached to the steering column and not the wheel, which is nice. The tactility is 👌🏻 It’s really unfortunate that... 

...  

They do look very cool 👌🏻👍🏻

I know - total package 👍🏻

Surprised that the battery gets you 11 kg savings 😱

But skimping on lunch to save weight goes to far for me 😂😂😂

The original paddles are made of some kind of a dark matter.

Didn’t check what metal it is 🤷🏻‍♂️

The A110 is supposed to be the only modern ICE powered iteration…

You could wait another 20 or so years and then legally import one… Or make regular trips to visit Nico in France 😁

I share most of them too. Example „space“: I needed a car that can also transport some things, when I had to substitute my Renault RS. Unfortunately this is the one thing that the Alpine cannot deliver! 😔 Honestly I have much more place in my Smart Roadst...  

But you are one of the hen’s teeth type of rare exceptions who can 😁👍🏻👏🏻 I feel they missed a trick with the packaging - with a couple of cm more in the frunk you could get two carry ons in, which would transform the practicality. But as joked about with ...
