That shows what a stupid **** you are then

Why would anyone expect a car from 1993 not to have a limiter?

Because they were a stupid ****?

How am I stupid for expecting better engineering? What year was
the rev
limiter invented?

I think about 1760

So what?

So why the **** did Renault not include it in their car of a much later
vintage?

They didn't include flint tools or a leather saddle either.

Do you think that was a serious omission?

The rev limiter, yes. You make one mistake once in the life of the car
and you lose the engine.

I guess then that citroen should have added flotation devices and a
rudder to the chap I knew who drove into a flood and destroyed his engine

If you want foolproof transport dont sit behind the steering wheel. Get
someone else to do it

You're not a fool if you drive through a ford and don't realise it's quite that deep. I did so recently, the fencing at the edges made it look like it was a foot deep. It was 3 feet deep. When I realised, I saw the bow wave in front of me and continued at the speed to keep it there. The air intake was then not under three feet of water. Luckily there was no mud to get stuck in.

All cars should have the air intake on the roof.
