Hey all, Nice to meet any/all of you today ! Only got onto the track for the parade lap but thought it was a great day :-)

My tickets arrived yesterday! See you all nice and early on Saturday :-)

I think that's right, my sister in law had a bump with another car in a car she had borrowed for the day; she/the owner went through the insurance to get the damage fixed on that car but it doesn't affect her insurance policy at all as didn't claim on her policy. Owners policy is fine as well!

So started detailing the car tonight; didn't get very far as I decided 9pm was a good time to start but it did give me a chance to try some new products. I have never detailed a car before, just lots of washes with a single bucket (don't shoot me!) and on very rare occasions a polish. Having...

Thanks! The pads are from Halfords, used them on my last car and stuck well. Used 6mm on the rear and 1mm on the front so they sit right.

Popped the new plates on, they look so much better! Took a bit of messing about making sure they were straight but think I managed it.

I was just about to ask exactly the same q as the OP! First time I have had a car which I am interested in doing anymore to than just a wash (with a single bucket, horror!). There are just so many different products out there and as a newbie it's difficult to tell what (if any) the differences...

I just bought my first RS (172) at 25! What else would you want to own anyway that doesn't also have an 'image' to some people?! BMW = doesn't come with indicators, Audi = most likely to cut you up, Volvo = grandad driving...... (don't shoot the messenger, I also have access to a Volvo and BMW).

Hey all, Had my 172 since Christmas (Christmas present to myself) after swapping my 1.2 in for something a bit more fun! I am the second owner; the previous owner was an older gent (who was possibly oversold when he went to Renault!) so was relatively low mileage (41,040) for a 04 reg. As it...

@Willliams on the 'eligibility' section it talks about different areas where the cars will be some of which are 'condition dependant'. Is that decided when the cars arrive? Also, I need to get a few tickets for friends who are coming along who will just be parking in the field, do I need a...

Thanks @Willliams for the responses and @Cub. for relocating the post! Just about to sort out uploading the photos; will be far shinier on the day when it has had a few bits tidied up (wax, new plates).

I saw the message about photos but still need to send them! Looking forward to seeing all the different RS!

@Cub. that's what I was wondering too. The Origine RS website has a page for eligibility but I don't really understand how/when the condition of your car is judged.

It's great that they are different weekends this year, first year of owning my RS so wanting to get out to the shows and meet people/their cars as much as possible!

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone was thinking of going to Origine RS at Goodwood on 22nd August, or went last year? I guess you buy a ticket and when you turn up on the day your car is judged and placed in the different sections? Rach
