He wasn't going too fast though, as the Saxo VTS behind kept up and filmed it all :) Click me

...not often spotted (only 90 made I think), so when I saw this one in its natural habitat I just had to give chase... Click me

Day to day I have no problem, car stops fine, no noise or vibration, nothing untoward. When making progress though, after one or two heavy brake applications, I get a noise relative to road speed, a knocking that's only present when on the brakes and it gets louder the longer/harder I'm on...

The last time I drove my Clio was Friday night :( I'm now "stuck" in the arse end of Cornwall on holiday with only our Focus at my disposal. Good though the Focus is, the B3072 is crying out for a Cup attack. I actually dreamt about my Cup last night, I'm really properly missing it, the...

Just pulled out behind you from our holiday house in a burgundy Focus. You had a sticker on the back window too.

Not a Clio (obviously), this thing was mental. It went from 160bhp at about 4,000 rpm, to 480bhp at 5,000 rpm - you can see how violently it spools up from the graph at the end of the clip...I can't even begin to imagine what that must feel like on the road :D Enjoy

My Cup feels strange and I don't like it. It's keener than ever on turn in, but feels ever ready to tip into oversteer. The slightest steering input sometimes feels like it starts to scrub, while the back seems ready to go. I've not provoked it yet to test. I first really noticed on the...

A lap of Bedford's West circuit - 1:27 Not directly comparable with the 1:33 Evo managed as the video skips a bit and there was no pif-paf either but I'm happy with it all the same. The instructor I had with me was one of the better ones that I've come across though :approve: West Circuit...

I've been thinking about what I want to do next training wise, and going for training/membership of the HPC appeals. Anyone on here a member already? http://www.hpc.org.uk/guests/index.html

Incredible! I've got a new set of discs sat next to me ready for Rentech Mike to fit tomorrow. I just realised that this is only the 3rd set my car has ever worn. Standard lasted about 35k IIRC, then on went some Brembo HCs. I'm on 82k now, and they still have both wear indicators showing...

... torque steer? I've been known to double back and try a stretch a second time just to feel the little b***ard writhe in my hands. Love it :D I'm curious...odd or not?

The ten runners... 2 hours later, a spot of fresh (gale force) air... Typical, it got its first wash in 9,000 miles yesterday too... Post breakfast... Good to see everyone again, shame about the closed roads, that it was damp and that there were too many other cars...

Click Is it anyone on here?

Do you go for the nipple, or just let your finger slide? I used to swear by the nipple on a Toshiba I had years ago, but on this Dell I got in December, I've persevered and I'm now pad all the way. Or do you just absolutely have to hook a mouse up to your laptop?

...I think. I read how to do the double de-clutch thing and have been practicing it for a while. I know it's technically not necessary, but when going for it, it really makes the next gear engage easier, less resistance. Advice welcome :) Click Also, WTF was the rumbling from the brakes on...

How would I do that? Thanks

Messy Tidy :evil:

...just what my 172 Cup is capable of. Stayed over at the NEC for the last two days as we were exhibiting, drove there and back in the Cup, 170 miles each way. A34 was a nightmare, two contra-flows, with 2-4 miles of queueing on each of them in both directions. Trip computer was reset...

I managed to capture 4... Me sm_wrc Brian Johnc172

Filmed at Surrey Rolling Road today... Mine made a nice 179 bhp - though the bloke said it didn't count :( so I have to settle for 177 bhp instead. I hate watching this close up but feel compelled to...it always feels like the engine is about to implode... Click me...

I've got some Motul RBF600 I'm going to change to before Oulton. Is there any reason why I shouldn't use it in my Cup? I know it's hydroscopic (sp?)...how long will it last before it needs a change?

Played around again this morning trying to get something a little better. Try as I might though, no matter what I do with the balance/brightness settings my face always seems to come out bright white... To those that know me...do you think this is a good likeness? I think it's pretty good...

I've got one of these coming today through work. Anyone had any experience? Am I going to be banging my head in frustration? http://www.europe.htc.com/products/htcs620.html
