In the flesh it was dull, and had pretty bad orange peel too. It looked like an average respray, unlike black and James' bronze which were far better.

A few more I took of the moonlight blue. Oulton93 by RodStreet, on Flickr Oulton94 by RodStreet, on Flickr Oulton95 by RodStreet, on Flickr Oulton96 by RodStreet, on Flickr Has anyone found where it is now, as I might be able to, or at least where it went after Renault moved it on.

There's a few of the Moonlight blue here. http://www.flickr.com/photos/rodstreet/sets/72157606448717370/ That was when Sally at Renault had the car. She's not at Renault anymore. The paint finish was really bad. Oulton98 by RodStreet, on Flickr

They have stalks which stick out. The balls come out all the time causing them to leak though. If there aren't stalks and it's not a cup, then someone has added blanks. They should look like this. LeeMclio07 by RodStreet, on Flickr Not like this. ClioTrophy03 by RodStreet, on Flickr

Well that was a pretty awesome afternoons racing. I can't lift my arms now. :o I was pretty pleased with my 3rd place Quali time, and the first race was probably one of the best races I've ever had. Constantly swapping places with my mate Mark. Then a lap from the end we rounded a corner to be...

Could have done actually. I wondered why they were allowed to sell legal plates without some proof of ID.

You must have misread what he's asked. He asked why they make them without the legal stuff on. You can specify everything legal, but without the makers postcode and BS data, that makes them show plates and an MOT fail.

They're classed as show plates, and will fail an MOT, but can be put on for car shows etc.

I remember Stunt Race FX, as we were working on two Super FX games at the time: Dirt Racer And Powerslide: Both were s**t of course. I remember spending hours playing Pinball Dreams on the Amiga too. Awesome intro music.

Micro Machines was another big lunch time game at work. On the PS1 with two multitaps connected. The banter was awesome.

Classic controllers there too. I've still got my Competition Pro 5000 along with one of my Amigas. I've still got my old Coleco Vision in the loft too. We spent many a lunch time playing Sensi on the SNES when I was at Elite. I was in QA during the end of the NES era, through 16 bit and in...

I bought new 100% legal plates for mine from Fancyplates a few weeks back. The Fancyplates logo and legal crap is nice and small, and I've no longer got a massive dealer advert or crappy blue flag on them! RS_200_001 by RodStreet, on Flickr

This morning around 9.15 over the Barr Beacon.

I've got the hi res shots off the old press site. If you pm me your email address I'll fire the over when I next turn my PC on. The press fleet get well looked after, and well used. I'd say it's safe to say that you own what was the first 197 Cup registered in the UK. I've just checked, I've...

Don, just wanted to confirm I'll be there with my mate from work, who also happens to be a CS member! Do I need to call and pay a deposit or anything? He's just asked me for the videos from when we went last month. Lol Edit: just realised it's a different track. Doh.

Very nice Guy. That's an ex press car. It was used for the early press shots. It's got the cup suspension, obviously as it's a Cup, but the callipers were the wrong colour. There's loads of photos of it about. http://www.autocar.co.uk/blogs/stillatthewheel/archive/2009/02/09/31988.aspx...

Funnily enough, I was thinking the same thing.

He does love using the handbrake to kill press cars.

I thought it was his too when he tweeted. I thought he had picked up an ex press car, but it's still on the press fleet. I remember doing a track day with Dan Trent, he gave a 197 press car so much stick it needed tyres before it could leave the track.

No it's a press car. Its not his Chris. He borrowed it when he tweeted the shot of it with his Porsche.

I loved my 197 Cup. You'll probably find it heavy compared to the 172 Cup though, but way more fun to drive than the Leon. They all have Brembos, red if the car has the Cup chassis. Common faults seem to be gearbox related, usually synchro issues. Belts are at 72k and it's an expensive...

In order to balance out the Twizy content, Chris thrashes one of Renaults press cars for the last few minutes of the video. :approve: http://youtu.be/Ngp9mDVQ8N4 Thought this would have already been posted, it probably has, but searching Harris or Twizy didn't find it!

Re: Ultra Red 200 ordered. It doesn't know you want to be cruising, it just tells you which is the optimal gear for thrashing the arse off it. I've had people in stiches with it, they can't believe it's usually suggesting 2 - 3 gears lower than I'm in when pottering about.

Tuesday morning around 7.45, turned in by the train station.

This evening around 7.40. Sat next to me at the A34/A4540 traffic lights then at the A38 roundabout.

Re: Ultra Red 200 ordered. I did that with SXY.

Sat in the traffic jam on the Hagley road, passing the new Morrisons they're currently constructing. Around 6.28 this evening! I was watching the building site!!

The HRT really is a dog of a car in the game. LOL It wasn't easy to make it that slow, and not impossible to drive. Glad you're enjoying it. :approve:

Stunning. I often see one around Birmingham, and they really do look the b****cks in that colour.
