Ive had the same thing twice. First time both cars, second time the keys to the wifes car. You can claim for new locks on the TF through house insurance, therefore not risking your no claims. If your car does go missing without you having both sets, you might not be insured. My insurer wanted...

Im a sad guy that has spent far too much money in my near 40 years on McDonalds, Currys and High Fat Lager. The time has also been spent enjoying a lot of cars inc an E46 M3, RS4 and lots of Scoobies. Im always after a car that gives you a smile whilst you drive and when you get home, sit down...

Im an ex R32 and 182 owner - got a new GTI at the mo. The R32 is a special car in many ways. The exhaust note will always be special and i quite liked the handling. The mid range poke was a little underwelming, but the 182 needs ragging as well. As a true hot hatch, the 182 is hard to beat. My...

All the residual talk is interesting. Ive been looking for a new car recently. Used to own a Cooper S and it was one of the most disapointing experiences I have had. Did feel slower than my old 182 and the traction/ride on wet B roads left a bit to be desired. Some of that was IMHO the runflats...

As an ex ATR and LCR driver, my preference is for the 182 if you like driving. The LCR certainly lacked soul and whilst fast was just dull. Needs a chip. Jonathan [Edited by Chins on 11 April 2005 at 9:36pm]

Is not always down to tax. Dealers buy cars on demo plans at a cheaper price. They need to keep them for 3 months before sale. Therefore no V5 is transfered untill that date. Ive bought a couple of cars this way Jonathan

You can buy a new Megane 225 for £16,150. Uk car, first registered owner etc. Number of brokers will sort this. http://www.broadspeed.comhttp://www.broadspeed.com Jonathan

Mine has always been on. Have to say the limits are so high, Ive never really noticed it - praise in my books Jonathan

http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1080768502__LeonvsR32008.jpgI used to have one Have to say the ride quality is better than my 182 and it is pretty good on the handling stakes. Not as sharp and chuckable as the 182 though. Interior is nice, but the Leather can sag and there can...

OK Ill step up a level to a Leon 1.8T sport, but that is the limit. I canceled my order after driving a Fabia Rs to the test drive and then the flat performance of the RX-8. My 350Z killed it for get up and go

The cars are French. Give them a bottle of red or an increase in their fishing quota and they will always obey. Mines fines as long as you dont rush !!

Echo the above Jonathan 182

I would go back and declare it asap. Upgraded wheels, even when fitted at the factory are open to increased premiums. If you are involved in a bad accident, they will not pay. One of my mates friends £50k Porsche was not paid out on due to 1mm to little tread, even though the tyres marks were...

BEWARE I had a VERY long chat with Tesco/Direct Line/Privledge At first they stated that the Cup options did not add anything, but after checking with the underwritters they DO. They were happy with the suspension, but the spoiler added £100 to the quote - I know for the size it is a joke...
