My Cooper S on a MY53 plate was a shocker and only the instant power and tug from the supercharger made up for it. I went through thrust bearings and a clutch in mine... Shocking and before you say well it's because you can't drive I never had a single issue in my 182, nor my Elise 111R and now...

If you've not taken the Clio out for a good run this be a good opportunity. Reading other posts I got to thinking how fast will u be going to loose pace with the others if your going on a country side blast. Call me old (or annoyed after nearly getting run over today cycling) but if u...

Tbh my Z4MC seems better on fuel than the latest generation of RS clios.... Which is shocking considering my 182 was great in that respect. So in consideration get a Z4M will be nearly as quick as your old EVO and wont get school boy attention which my 182 seemed to attract

Re: Car Has been Wrote off again! TBH looking at the damage then at the type of area the car was in it is hard on the face of it to belive that much damage resulted from only going 20mph. Also how did the other car miss you if you were only doing 20mph? Surely the police would ask what speed...

Why?

Echoing peoples comments and that from someone who said they'll notch it down to a bit of fun.... Fecktards..... They didnt even pull the handbrake to get the back to get round (not that it would at those speeds) Best bit was his mates getting excited as they could hear his s**t exhaust...

Think the issue is that i'm being honest and saying upfront i'm not looking to buy today etc not an age thing. Anyway 200's are growing on me more and more but saying that my Elise was perfect for a blast today in the hills around Edinburgh....

Thanks going for a quick ride on my roadie and then i'll head across. :D

Wow hang on lads right it wasn't pay £100 for a test drive but an implied we'll only take you serious if your happy to sit for an hour to work out a deal then secure that by paying a nominal amount (£100). But yer f**king joke imo

Thats true but then reality hits and you loose 5 - 7k in the first year or two. Don't like doing it tbh but i wonder how many 182's are left unabused?

Got offered a non cup car with a Recaros and speedlines for 17.5 brand new.

Ok went across to the other Edinburgh dealer and much much better facilities. Had a red non cup car at 17.5 and a black cup demo for 17 both with Recaro seats and not much else spec wise. So all good so far.. however here comes the BUT - apparently Arnold Clark have a policy whereby i...

Because if their salesmanship is poor god only knows what the service guys are going to be like especially if you need to get things corrected after collecting your 15k+ car. Thanks for the advice so far

I was either going for a ride tomorrow at Glentress or taking a drive up that way in the Elise so might check it out. Looking on autotrader there isnt much really north of Newcastle? There's two over in Glasgow but the kit on the cars is really poor.

Thanks guys, yer it was a new to 12 month old used car i was after. It was Sighthill who told me they were a RS centre now..... i also live in Portsmouth who ARE a RS centre so was expecting much more to clamber over and poke at.
