9 miles on mine, and the dealer took me down to the petrol station and filled her up with me in it so all 9 must have been through delivery.

Move down to Wiltshire if you want a snow-free zone. Sod all down here as usual.

Look very closely and it does have a drivers seat, doesn't need any more than that. If the roll-bars are built into the structure then its job done.

Thats a joke right?!

Ok not technically correct, but it was cheaper than coilovers! and whilst I'm at it a few other pics that I may or may not have posted in the past, trying to make a stock 172 Cup look interesting!

^^ Not strictly true, they lose money on hardware but more than make up for it with software. I find it ironic that the one company comfortably making money out of the console market is Nintendo! They turn a healthy profit on the consoles, even without winning the market by advertising their way...

Getting my other half the Mario Kart DS bundle tomorrow. I got a DS in Canada last year and she bloody lives on it, I can never get on Advance Wars! Should be good though as both our houses are wi-fi enabled so we can play against each other when not even together.

5 mile commute for me and I've done 8000 in 6 months, madness!

Have I missed a date then? Will happily confirm 100% when I know the date, as long as its not during the Easter break I can guarantee I will be in! I will happily do a website if you want, will have it done by the end of the weekend easy, this is a personal site I knocked together in little...

Just because of the graphics? If so then no thanks. I own PES 5 on the PS2 and Sensi Soccer on my Mega Drive, Sensi still gets more play by some distance. Cosmetics don't interest me in the slightest. I have high hopes for the Revolution (people have written Nintendo off but remember they...

They are clearly pushing it out waaaay ahead of when its realistic to release it, just to get Christmas sales/hype and a good buffer over the Revolution and PS3. So to be honest I would expect defects with the way they are churning them out. Can't really see what all the fuss is about to be...

Clio Run could just sound like we are going on a jolly to rant our cars! I know Drive for Life sounds cliched and obvious but then it kinda needs to be, as simple as possible so it stays in the mind. Nice logo Harry, would look great with a transparent background on the bonnet or something...

Erm, "Drive for Life"? When we have a name we can have a logo competition! Include the name, the sponsor and ClioSport and everything else is up to you.

Thinking about this, 4 main side panels, try to sell the space for £50 each to local companies to cover petrol costs! Oh and 100% behind you on the no winners option, sounds like a lot less hassle. Any names for the event yet, it needs a name!

Well there is French writing outside and its left hand drive, so I'm guessing France! I really really hope the production model doesn't have chromed standard alloys (which are from the current Laguna anyway by the looks of things), not exactly sporty is it! Too much chrome everywhere...

My time (and therefore s70res' time) are purely down to modifications and extremely fine tuning, no cheats. I didn't even know there were standard cheats but I know of a Action Replay disc. As a basic guide, mods include full weight reduction, stage 3 turbo and racing exhaust (348bhp I think)...

Ave some!

Considering there is a cheat disc with a gear ratio modifier on it this is potentially pointless! But, I've "only" had 194.02mph out a 172 with fully extended ratios and full mods, so how is 220mph possible?!

Is the Carbon "bonneted" MK1 one of the ones parked near a few of us at Donnington? (over towards the Renault display)

Ah I was hoping for my first ever spottage! Never mind. There is another XXX CUP around these parts but I've never seen it. My girlfriend, boss and 3 different colleagues have all waved at them at one time or another thinking it was me from a distance!

Front fogs do absolutely sod all to be honest, I tested this theory tonight in fact and could not notice a single difference between them being on and off in those conditions. Good eyesight doesn't help either, my uncorrected vision is pretty poor but I had a look over my glasses and I could...

Never seen anything quite like this and I've been in some bad conditions before, here is S25 CUP from about 3 metres away...behind it (literally next to the back wheel) is a bright street light which you can just make out. I did a quick visability check, walked backwards from my car until...

Cheers for the advice. Would love to go out for a practise, its just finding somewhere safe to do it. Take a RenaultSport into an empty car park (i.e. at night) around here and you risk getting your car confiscated for breach of the peace or something. ...and Fred, I never said I wasn't...

I'm taking it very easy over winter after hearing so many stories about 172 Cup disasters, but today I was involved in a situation that now thinking back I wonder what the hell I should of actually done. On a slightly curved 40mph road doing about 30 (told you I was being careful!) as the...

If it was S25 CUP it was indeed me, you in a Titanium 172 heading towards Westbury and turning off at The Ham by any chance? Thats the only one I saw yesterday but I thought that was about 10:30pm, followed it most of the way back.

Can anyone recommend any sites/companies to use for stickering up your Car? Logos, text, custom stuff etc for windows and bodywork, and more specifically the rally/race surname bit with country flag for the passenger window. Not something I'm planning to do for general road use you will be...

Alternatively start training in a standard NSX around Laguna Seca, Clarkson will be trying to beat his GT4 time in real life soon on Top Gear so it will be good to see how we compare and then how realistic that actually is.

What were you driving before? Hate to be the voice of reason but go careful! Its shocking the amount of 172 Cups that get written off during the winter months, shouldn't really be a problem but without ABS and traction control if things go wrong they can go very very wrong very quickly. I...

Cup feels more responsive but I'll be damned if I'm really going for it in 1st or 2nd in this weather! Had a few hairy moments already so I'll be taking it easy over the winter I think. Even had the fog lights on today, barely had 80m visability in the daytime down here which made for a nice...

Been thinking about this quite seriously today whilst on my travels. I know this idea will probably be dismissed immediately but hear me out... Huge numbers are great as far as money is concerned, but when you have 70+ cars or something you are looking at requiring big hotels (not already...
