la Clio n'a qu'à se muer en brave mulet fidèle et fiable

Help! I need sleep! Was a joke. I do that sometimes. British humour old chap. No I don't know how to put it better than this at the moment. 'The New Clio, therefore, escapes Big Brother’s beady eye with its transformation into a reliable and faithful workhorse. What is wrong with it? To wordy? Missed the point? At least give me a starting point. Dave

Ok, so now that we've established that you're sleep-deprived by choice rather than necessity and that you're not working to a deadline, I would suggest you re-work that sentence of yours a little :)

Oh, sorry, forgot to say that Renault don't call it Clio III over here in Britain but New Clio if that's what you are refering to. That's what my local Renault dealer said anyway.

Same as the several other texts I am working on at the moment. I want to be a translator and hopefully will be going to a Canadian university to do a masters. So I am practicing, plus I enjoy it. Some people go to the pub, some play football (I have done both). But at the moment it's translating for me. Reason for use of etc, etc. Well I am trying to make it sound interesting without deviating too much from the original.

Curious... your profile says you're not a translator, so I'm wondering what this text is for. Also, any reason for your use of "new", "therefore", "escapes", "beady" in your translation of the source text?
