I locked the keys of a works van in the back of the van when I was staying in Brighton. It was a hire van Transit Connect and the RAC bloke came out and sorted it within 20 mins...it was scary just how easy it was to do!
Try this one for my mobile phone that is currently on ebay!
"Hello,

form of surprise package for her.i will like to know how soon it can be ready for shipment...
My Cup does 0-60 in 8 seconds...but its faster if I take the handbrake off!!!
That bloke hasn't got the foggiest! I don't think the cup is a supercar, it is a good car in its class...but it won't beat a Cossie, or a Subaru Impreza WRX STi PPP...would it???
Leave the dreamers to it, and get...
Paddy, you'll probably be glad to hear that the bodyshop they had round the back of the Looker's garage has now gone!!!!
I use William A Lewis in Telford...they're 100 times better than Looker's in Stockport where I used to go!!!
That pic brings back memories...had those exact same sony tweeters in my old 306...a place which would be good would be on the pillar where the ultrasonics would be on a 172 (the one at the side of the windscreen) they can be pointed where you like and as they are at a different height the sound...
Not hijacking, but I was told by bloke at AA who looked at mine when immobiliser seemed to have a problem was that if its within mile of home, then no car, and its also if they can get you one, so it isn't guaranteed that they can give you a car either! Luckily my car restarted after the AA...
I fancy Y11 NOD (Donny backwards) but the NOD part is putting me off!!!
I still think the best reg I've heard of is C110 CUP but its a little bit car specific!!! ;)
I know that GDI and Angelworks do Clio performance upgrades, do they do anything for the Megane 225? I have a friend at work with one, and he is looking at upgrading performance. I've suggested the 2 companies as they know their stuff with Clio engines...Can/do they?
If not any other...
Gap insurance is not bad for £400...I know it only covers write off for first 3 years of car's life, but I'd rather get £12K than £6.5-7K!
Even then, the insurers don't wanna pay!!!
Good luck with the offer(s).

Get the Turini's (original 172 cup wheels) and then either get them refurbed in anthracite (so they are the same as the Trophy's wheels) or leave them as standard...just for the extra track that the wheels provide (20mm front, 10mm rear [or other way round!] extra than a standard 172!
Ps. I...
You've gotta remember though, what was the weight of the coupe? The cup is circa 1021Kgs (89Kg lighter than a normal 172). there is more power to be gained from them, there are a few lads on here who do the engine modifications, you'll get to know them after a while.
There's also a 1.8 Turbo...
It would be at the fly, if its a standard cup you're probably looking at 145bhp @ the wheels...thats what mine produced with about 8,500 miles on the clock, they tend to open up a bit after 10K and mines now on 31K and loving it!
Even then its not 172bhp, but 172ps (equates to 170bhp). Still...

may be a bit expensive to set up, but cheap for what you get, and they've had V.good reviews.
PS. Don't touch bulldog, apparently they are shite!!!

The cups have cloth interior, do a search and I'm sure that you'll get the specs...but main ones are 89Kgs lighter than 172, no alcantara, no xenons, no ABS, no traction control, no spare wheel, no climate control, no cruise control, thinner glass...
I'd get a cup, but I'm biased ;)
