Alright maybe I'm pushing it a bit with that comment. But V6's are pretty special cars

I'd say a v6 was a sports car, even a mini exotic, cos its mid-engined and has no back seats And a Cayenne is defo not a sports car! just a very capable truck

^^What I was gonna say. Almost always a two seater = sacrificing practicality for fun. Interesting question though Meggerman. RS clios definately have a real sporting slant to them, but I think hot hatch describes them better than sports car as they maintain some practicality with the performance.

Harder than your tractor at least;)

Kids are over-rated. Extra weight: slows you down;) I like all RS's really. Just can't resist a bit of banter:rasp:

Nice little vid. You two were proper stalking the M6!! LOL at the car love story

Just a shame about the wheels eh?;)

From the Far East?! ;)

Cat back stealth £300 including fitting.

LOL so its not just me then? Main things you wanna look for: Exhaust - OE backbox rarely last past 40k (mine went on 36k). Listen for the a buzzy rattle at 4k rpm too - caused by loose heat shield or exhaust baffles going I think (had that before too!) Engine mounts - prone to failure...

Love my cup. From what I've heard the 180 ain't as good as the spec suggests, defo not as fun to drive as any 172/182. Get a Renault, join the club! :D

Sounds about right to me (and I was "in touch" not long ago when I bought my car in June)

I admire your stamina! Looks mint :D What you had done at GDI?

My favourite Merc. Pisses over the SLR IMO

Awesome pics of the blue mini. Extra props if your a novice! Why'd you get rid of the ph1 only to buy a ph2 though?

Gutted mate. Was'nt a fan of the orange wheels but did'nt wanna see them bow out like that!

Is that like toffee?

Think you might see some other cars locking up too.........

Yep. I've never locked the right wheel, only the left (always with just me in the car). Shows how finely balanced the car is I guess. I can also really feel the difference of a full tank too, particularly braking.

Hmmm.... I could do with some new mat's. Got knackered "coupe" mat's at the mo that the previous owner had for some reason.

Don't think anyones saying that mate! LOL ;) It does'nt mind a bit of stick once its warmed up, a mild thrashing even. Good price nosluom I reckon. My cup is my first car. Drove parents 1.6 Astra previously, so it was quite a step up for me! Borrowed the Astra recently and it felt...

Think it would take at least a couple of tanks to adjust. Maybe dependent on how hard the car was driven (?)

How'd you manage that? :S Expensive oil was it?

What does that do?

Yarp its well awkward! (Is it just me but is there loads of oil related threads about at the moment?!)

Already had a look in the guide section; don't think there is one. Thanks for your help anyway edde!:approve: Think I'll get it sorted at a garage. I have zero tools and my drives so on the piss its dodgy jacking up the car. (That'll be my excuse anyway)

Care to give me a few pointers? I know sweet FA about working on engines

^^^^Right that settles that then! Anyone care to give a novice's guide?

I was'nt planning to change the oil until the next service (last done on 33k, now on 37k, so thats another 8k away; right?) Is that too infrequent? Trouble is I don't actually know how to change the oil :o

Poor little cup :(
