[urq] RE : Fantasy garage

[Bob D]

OK I have to ask. Has anyone ever driven one or are we just going by the 
lust factor here? ive driven an R5 turbo 2 and thought it was a complete 
toilet. Twitchy, noisy, crap handling and interior..basically a typical 
renault. Why have one of those when you can have the UrQ as someone 
pointed out :)

my 2 cents :)
