Join me as I test the Renault Vel Satis, in desirable 2-litre turbo form. Marvel at those unusual looks, admire the flimsy rear cubby holes, share my annoyance at yet another wiper failing! This time the stalk. This video also contains a shocking conclusion...

Thanks to 'The Moog' and 'Bucketeer' for this opportunity. Incidentally, my Bluebird broke down immediately after I drove this car, which suggests it has a jealous streak.

As ever, filmed very badly on my phone, with no script, no skill and some annoying background noise.
