Anyone unfortunate enough to follow me on Twitter will know that I’ve often held this car aloft as a prime example of cheap droptop fun: ranking it alongside the Peugeot 306 Cabriolet and Fiat Punto Cabriolet as the most PetrolBloggy ragtops of the era. I’d like to say that £500 is a bargain price, but it’s actually the going rate for a Mk1 Renault Megane Convertible. First car with an electric folding roof: tick. First car bought without any history: tick. Strangely, it’s the first Renault I, or rather we, have owned, and it’s also the first four-seat convertible to join the fleet. Ownership of a Renault Megane Convertible presents a number of firsts. We seem to love our droptops, but curiously far too many people are reluctant to lower the roof. In an act of unusually good timing, the purchase has coincided with a rather unseasonal (for Britain) heatwave, meaning the top has been down more often than it has been up. In truth, it belongs to Mrs Big-Surname: a summer runabout to act as a tender for the big blue battleship, otherwise known as the Isuzu D-Max. The conversation continued without my input – all I heard was “goats blah, blah, blah, escape artists, blah, blah, blah, eat anything, blah, blah, blah, will escape, blah, blah, blah, next door’s roses, blah, blah, blah.”Ĭould I justify another French car on the fleet? Is buying a 16-year-old Megane with an electric folding roof really such a good idea? Should I simply walk away and get back to matters of a lonely goatherd, lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo? These are all rhetorical questions, because, having left my wife to deal with matters of the goat variety, there’s now a very yellow Megane Convertible parked outside. Something… wait, what – it’s for sale.?Īt that point, the goat chat became little more than white noise as my thoughts turned to a summer with a Megane Convertible. You know how it is: you’re stood listening to the conversation between the farmer and your wife when, out of the corner of your eye, you spot something French over on the other side of the farm.

The even better news: we now own a Renault Megane Convertible 1.6 16v Sport.

The good news is: after living the good life in Dorset, all three goats are now enjoying a new life in a different part of the country.
