Just got a new compaq centrino laptop from pc world for just 450 squid. It has media centre installed, 1gb of ram, 80gb hard disk, dvd rewriter, 15.4 inch hd widescreen and works now wireless off the box we have. I like! Might not be as powerful as a top of the range desktop but for surfing the...

Corvette?? Is that exotic?? ;)

I'd give them a bag of penny sweets for that. Utter gash, but I might take the engine out and put it in my cup ;)

I wouldnt put tyres with 2mm on the back and the newer ones on the front.... You will oversteer into the nearest tree....

Re: Audi A6 =1, Clio 172 cup =0 My car crash :( **UPDATED** One more and also some pics of it before the crash :(

Some more.....

Thought I'd post up some pics of the accident damage... Sorry its taken so long but I've been busy with work and other stuff... I'll need to post up another pic of how it looks now but this should give you an idea of the damage... Relatively light in comparison to some smashes I've seen.

Was right behind a silver 182 with a guy driving towards milngavie along milngavie road in glasgow. Had a sticker in the back window "My other motor is a fireblade" and a 182 cup sticker under the renault badge. Not 100% sure on the reg but it def was a private plate. Turned left at the...

There is no point in washing my car at the moment, I drive down country roads every day to work and washing it isnt an option. Good to be spotted though as my cup is almost back to full health.... Remind me again where wellington st is?? ;)

But didnt you have the mk1?? That isnt in the same league as the mk2 ;)

I love the sound of this V6 too..... I'd maybe go for a mk2 instead though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TL7J8QGwTec&NR

Saw this vid and thought I'd let you lot see it. Not sure if its a repost. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ciSJ1XVpEc&mode=related&search= Still wouldnt buy one though......

Got my car back from repair and Im still getting a vibration when I accelerate reasonably hard in most gears along with a bang when I come on and off the throttle. Any ideas? It was horrific over the weekend but I took it to a mechanic friend that put it up on the ramps and found that the repair...

I've had a shot in a 197 and was impressed with the build and handling but it felt quite a bit slower and less flexable than my cup. I wouldnt pay £16k for it either!

Yeah I've seen that driving about town before. Some baseball capped individual with loud music. And its def a 1.2! It took ages to accelerate. I dont see the point to be honest. With the amount of dough hes forked out on that and insurance he could have just bought an early 172. Oh and the...

Its cos they are so light.

I've got that on dvd. The best bit in the dvd is martin brundle driving the mclaren f1 on the road in the wet and banging on about how careful you have to be with it. He then loses the back end and needs a change of underwear! Imagine writing off somones £3/4 million mclaren f1. Ooops

How often would a 1000bhp skyline need its engine rebuilt and get replacement gearboxes and clutches etc?? That veyron produces 1000bhp without breaking the rest of the car. And show me a skyline that will do 252 mph and 0-186 mph in 14 secs. It also has a full manufacturers warranty. Granted it...

I got my car back on friday from repair and on the whole I must say Im pretty impressed with the panel gaps and paint job. However I was driving to a party yesterday and I notice the steering getting heavier and heavier! I pull over and turn the engine off to find all the power steering...

lol better than renaults anyway

Just found this new vid on evo.... Best of the ones I've seen I think. Listen to it from outside doing a standing start at the end of the vid. Sounds like a WW2 fighter. :D http://www.evo.co.uk/evotv/supercarvideos/203230/bugatti_veyron.html

Hey this forum is running like a dog!

But fred you put the tyre black on the sidewalls not on the tread of the tyres! ;)

If the tyres burst id check that the alloys werent buckled by the force of impact against them. My cup was hit head on by some moron so i know how u feel m8. Good luck with the repairs.

Oh rite thats what it must be.

What width of tyres are u running on that chris? They look to be overhanging the wheels in some pics.

That engine would prob fit under my bonnet too.... I wonder if renault have any going spare... ;)

Found a vid on streetfire of the renault f1 car playing god save the queen. I've heard it before and many of you probably have but its prob worthy of a repost! Listen to how quickly it revs and how high the rpms get! I'll have one to put in my clio.... lol...

I'd only go for the 255 V6 or maybe something different and even more impractical like an s2 elise.... 350Z is also in the mix. Had a go in the original non-cupped 225 meg and wasnt immpressed with the power particularly or handling for a car of that value. Had a shot of the new toyota...

I've been driven by a guy in an anniversary type r civic and I have a 172 cup. It didnt feel as raw and the power delivery was smoother which is probably due to the extra 200kg it pulls around. But I have no doubt that 100 mph + it would pull better when weight is less of an issue and engine...
