    Evo Podcast - Hot Hatches

    Yep - listened to this on the train home. A of love for Renaultsport as you would imagine with the R26R and Clio WIlliams being proclaimed amongst the “best they have driven” Love Dickie Meaden and John Barker when reading their written word but John Barker on video is just a flat NO...

    2001 Clio 172 P1 - Clean OEM Road Project

    Ph1 172 Refurbishment.

    Really nice that. Well worth the £5k on rarity alone now. Hardly see any around in that condition and mileage. Good luck with the sale

    Bicester Scramble

    Agreed @Bubbles It was terrible from a conditions POV but the morning was still great. Praise the people who drove their pride and joy in those conditions and special props to the guy who drove a Carrera GT there - true legend status right there. Tickets go on sale for the April scramble...

    Frayz's Inferno 182 - Back in the old flame

    I agree this setup is great. I have wanted better brakes for a while now and was set on wilwoods specifically because they will fit under 2118’s. I am running 16mm front spacers down from 25mm as they used to rub during spirited driving. May have to look at this setup now 🙂 Epic car as always

    ED Low boost conversion advice
