So Craggy, You knew I was in a hire car. What else did you hear through the bush telegraph?

I miss the Willy but maybe it was best the lad took it Thursday. I would have hated rolling it into a ball or something... Im sort of hoping that a Ragnotti might appear in my drive. I do need the rear seats these days.

I do hope I dont have to buy tyres for the hire company!

Sold the Evo a couple months ago. And I sold the Willy Thursday night. After I tried to talk the guy into taking it Tuesday! He would have none of it and had the cash in his hand. I grabbed the cash and sent Willy 3369 back to its place of birth. My 300TE is a bit long in the tooth for...

Huh?

No injuries. Lots of grins.

You really had to be there. There may be some videos of the action...

Ive got you guys going now...

Im sure everyone has a tale to tell. I wont spoil it for them.

Looked to me like everybody enjoyed the experience. Well, almost everybody, but Ill tell no tales. The weather was fantastic, and I dont think there have ever been so many clios in that carpark.

There were no cars avaialable. The last one I rang said that I could have a "Focus DTI" I misheard her, thinking she said GTI and thought that she was talking about the 170 fom the description she gave me. I asked what engine it had and she said 1.7 but in my eternal optimism, I interpreted...

Daz, Could you text him and tell him to give me a wake up call in the morning? The bird is away and I dont trust our alarm clock.

Did they lock the lot of you up as soon as you reached the border? See you at the ring tomorrow. 0730. Ill be in a dark green Opel Astra 1.7TDI rental with Luxembourg plaques. Yeah its sloooow... Be there or be square. Hope everyboody is behaving...one way or the other! Ed

Willy 3369 just went back to the place it came from. Rather sad to see it go but I must move on. The wee Frog who bought it just wouldnt be put off. I tried at least to get one more long weekend at the ring out of it but to no avail. So Im sitting here with €6100 to put down on a Ragnotti or...

Ive advertised my Clio Williams for several months on mobile.de with hardly any activity. Now that Easter is here, a bunch of Cliosport fanatics are heading for the ring, the kids and bird are away to Ireland, the car is out of the garage, and Im ready for some serious ring action, what...

"Well with power its fine - French + Electrics = :@" Do you not remember Lucas, the Prince of Darkness. Brit he was....

Those seats are standard. The Renault garaqge here has one in the showroom but it is the one without the windscreen. Great cars but a bit too heavy compared with the Elise and 7s etc.

The VTS driver was an absolute r****d to run the red light...

If you are on the continent, a litre of red should do the trick.

Do not get the little man angry. He is actually a lost Leprechaun and if you are not nice to him he will take his little hammer to your engine and you will be sorry... Let him tap away in peace.

Blue is just the old French racing colour. Just like BRG for the UK, White or Silver for the Germans, Red for the Italians, and White with Blue for the USA. And the reason that British Racing Green was chosen dates back to the days of the Gordon Bennet Trophy when racing was not allowed on...

Frosty, Ferrari, Porsche and BMW and the rest wouldnt use drilled discs for show! My Willy seems very happy with Ferodo DS2000 pads. Whether my discs are going to stand up to them remains to be seen. The main thing that I find with the Ferodos is that they do not fade and they last...

Have you checked your tyre pressures? I would think they would have to be a good way out but the modern tyre pressure monitors actually mesaure the relative speed of the wheel just like the ABS sensor. An under inflated tyre might give a reading considerably higher than the other three tyres...

The silver doesnt look good at all to me. Car looks great otherwise, althought there seem to be a few too many angles here and there. Now all it needs is about 80 more HP! And maybe lose a few stone...

25 Willys. Sure there must be more out there! Thanks Kelly. Ed

195/50/15 work fine for me.

Mine is in the garage so I cant look at it right now but it would seem that there is some crankcase breather attached to the intake somewhere that would alow this to happen when the car is inverted. Ed

I like that one.

Chad, You probably would. Unless there are other variables between the two such as suspension mds that maybe we dont know about. You are right about there being no difference on the street. But then, on the street, there theorectically is no difference between a Smart and a Ferrari, if...

Do the Evo, Scooby, Porsche etc. people get this bent out of shape? I doubt it. They have luxury and sports versions of their cars as well. They know the strippers are faster and that the luxury ones are more comfortable. Chances are it is the same with the Clios... And although the...
