that you, along with millions of other British motorists, are about to find out. The boffins at the Transport Laboratory


have discovered that it is quicker to mend broken bridges with plastic rather than with traditional concrete and steel. On the plus side bridges can be back in service within a matter of hours rather than the days and weeks required to make usual repairs. But while the plastic has been proven to hold steady in extensive testing the effects that its use will have on driver’s nerves is not so clear. The reinforced plastic that can be used for


the job is more expensive than concrete but the timesavings along with the reduction in traffic problems make it a viable solution.

DECORATIVE wheel trims fitted to the wheels of many cars and vans,


age leading to possible tyre blow-outs, according to the Tyre Industry Council. These trims, which are usually made of


plastic, are often fitted slightly oversize. In some circumstances, they can rub against the lower sidewall of the tyre and valve assembly when the tyre is deflected under load, ulti­ mately cutting into the tyre sidewall, caus­ ing air loss and sometimes blow-outs. The advice is to check your trims today.

on the boy-racers whose enthusiasm fuelled the hot hatchback boom. Now those same spotty tearaways have mortgages and tiny tearaways of their own.

Something like the Renault Megane Renaultsport per­ haps. Today, the term ‘hot hatch’ can

refer to anything from a minuscule city scoot with a spoiler to a family­ sized performance car with a six- cylinder engine and a £20,000 price tag. The Megane Renaultsport slots unashamedly into the top end of that category. Renault will point customers wanting unadulterated, hot hatchback thrills in the direction of the Clio Renaultsport 182 and cautiously advise the really deter­ mined to fork out £27,000 for the 255 b.h.p. Clio Renaultsport V6. The Megane takes a more under­ stated tack, although you would not necessarily know it from the 225 b.h.p. output and the sprint-to-60 m.p.h. time of 6.5 seconds.


. FiiSay S*»u>a*yF«'»-5aa Even when compared to the elite


performance hatchback models in a similar price range, the cars Renault identified as benchmarks when cre­ ating this flagship model, the Megane Renaultsport has a reserved air, a certain class. The styling is very much a pro­


gression from mainstream Megane models but with some obvious differ­ ences to highlight the range-topper’s pedigree. The outboard front fog lights are an original touch and the gaping intake between them informs the general public that there is a real


heavy breather hiding under the bonnet. The engine is a 2.0-litre turbo­


charged unit with 225 b.h.p. The power delivery is smooth with the 300Nm maximum swell of torque hitting the road at 3,000 r.p.m. and the full power arriving at 5,500 r.p.m. More useful in assessing the car’s overall character is the fact that well over 250Nm of torque is being produced from as low as 2,000 all the way up to 6,000 r.p.m. This creates a high level of flexibility and coupled with the absence of any seri­

ous turbo lag, it means that there is 1 power instantly available in most gears at most engine speeds. The 32 1 m.p.h. average fuel consumption is very impressive in a vehicle with this rarefied level of performance. The Megane Renaultsport is one


of the fastest hatchbacks you can currently buy but you are getting more for your £20,000 than a jaw- droppingly rapid point-to-point machine. In fact, if you want the fastest,


purest drive there are better alterna­ tives.
