I think "Touristenfahrer" can answer you the question. He drives the Clio and his Megane like he stole it :-o

Can someone please tell me why there is a vent in the door of the Gillet Vertigo .5? Don't tell me it's for decoration! The air vent is supposed to be for cooling the engine, like on the Maserati that the engine of the Gillet Vertigo .5 is lifted from. If they had put it on the door as decoration that would mean that Gillet has totally lost it! The Gillet Vertigo Race Car '04 is one of my favourite cars in Gran Turismo. As one of the fastest FRs in the game it has few rivals.

Can they really vent an engine through a door? :eh:

My guess:
They thought if they only put 3 vents on the side people might mistake it for a Buick and you really don't want this to happen. :D
Also I bet that non of these vents is really functional except for those on the hood.

I was watching a old 5th Gear clip on YouTube showing the effects of using Redex injection cleaner - I gave a engine down on power about 6hp back. We don't have Redex here in Germany that's why I have to ask: Is this foo or legit?

a Dodge it is.

Letter reads a bit like "your car is part of the recall Programm R37... you didn`t buy it from FCA (Fiat Chryser Automobiles).... talk to the chap who imported it or sold it to you to get it fixed, good luck with that .....**** you .. sincerely FCA"

my sons`s reaction... "can we get an M4 now, please" ? :problem:
