Any idiot can use cad-cam and produce a program, and any idiot can press go. That doesn't mean the two idiots can produce a component correctly, or know why or where it went tits up. If you're going to be at the sharp end of machining then experience of manual machining is thr best way to learn...

Ouch, what a r****d!

I saw a guy mill his neck and collar bone when I was an apprentice, I was running an identical machine at the time! An apprentice on our machine at forge master's fell off the rotary table onto the slide cover. Good job he was a fatty as it was approx 4m he bounced down. As for leaving the...

Nice touch [emoji106]

I expected to see injuries from your description. The milling ones don't bother me but the turning ones are scary as I've seen a tool post ripped off and jobs go flying across the workshop. I also know a guy who got dragged into a big lathe and ended up in a wheelchair.

Passed by Meadowhall at 5.40 this evening.

Spotted turning into the aldi at 5.15 today. Old geezer driving[emoji106]

Place I worked at got one of those WFL machines and they had another at a plant in America. They were so unreliable they shipped the one from America over here so they could save on service engineer call outs.

I used to do a lot of inconell which is fun. Ceramics took all the time out of the job though! We were using them on horizontal machines with no roof. 2 machines caught fire because the molten material would land on top of the column.

I spotted one of those 4 door JDM Civic Type R's the other day in Sheffield. They are a bit of an oddity, but still a rare spot.

I always try to keep my ugly mug out of pics. I can ruin any shot with ease

How can you make the car look any better? Oh wait, you mean the face! [emoji38] [emoji38] [emoji106]

I was going to buy a 182 in 2005 but bought a 225 instead. Had an itch for a 182 ever since though and finally scratched it last year. Now we have 05 and 15 reg black Clio's sat on the drive!

Very nice indeed.

Ain't OCD a biatch!

It looks good, suede ones look too aftermarket imo.

What size is that wheel Andy? Looks bigger than most people choose.

Yeah i spotted those and wondered if they would be any use in winter on my 182 wheels. I might have a punt for the price. Yeah ado8R are first choice now for the 15's. Cheers.

Welcome to the club. I knew hiw this was going to go when I saw "a view to keeping it standard" [emoji38]. Car looks good mate, are you bringing it to CSF at Blyton this year?

Are they ns2r you've got on? I was considering those or the ado8 for my 15's to run through summer. How'd you rate them?

Excellent write up of your clio life so far Paul. Hit n run damage aside the car is lovely. Just one bad point from your story. It appears you went to Blyton on the wrong clio day!

I've been running mine on 95 through winter as going over 5k rpm isn't my priority in s**t weather. My car was in DDC last week and they said it feels like a good one and it's fast. 95 ftw! Also over only owned it a year and done 8 of its 89k miles. I have no idea whats gone through it before...

Nice one [emoji106]. Who's this insurance guy? I just got my renewal and it's a hilarious £790[emoji15]. Message me his details please pal.

If you're a bit rattly in Trendlines try one of these: I loved the Trendlines but deffo would'nt pay for a pair for my clio!

Nice steady progress Dave. Is the 182 going into daily duty or just for fun? How you getting on with the flocking too?

Can i get a fivers worth of shares in that please? [emoji106] This is an epic build and will forever be one of the best. Shame it's not clio shaped, then it would be perfect [emoji38]

Great write up and the car looks very tidy. I really need to order some elbow grease and get mine polished up!

Looks nice, and yeah very low! IMO Monaco's look perfect with the standard rims in anthracite and pushed out a little bit. Cammed eh? A trip to RS Tuning would tell you for sure.:wink:

Lol he's been a bit quiet hasn't he.

Nice one, next meet is rolling road day at RS Tuning in Leeds 1st April. There's a thread in the Yorkshire section i think.
