    Removing wax?

    Right, bit of a weird one... I've had my MX-5 professionally Waxoyled and the sods have left my paintwork in a right state. There's a mist of wax on it that won't come off after a wash... I'm pretty annoyed, but what can I do?

    iPhone videos to PC?

    Lads, is it possible to upload videos from my iPhone to my Windows laptop without requiring a degree in IT?? I don't want to spend a week making a 2min video using crappy clips off my phone!

    Saving pics to SD cards??

    My friends dad came with us to the Nurburgring this year after his son (my friend) lost his battle with Leukaemia not long after our Nurbugring trip last year, so we had a whip round and paid for him to have a ride in a Porsche 'Ring Taxi... I stood on one of the corners and took a photo as they...

    Nurburgring Clio's

    My memory is shocking but I've definitely seen various Clio's with UK plates, mostly 172 Cups.

    Donington Historic 2015

    Anyone go to this? I was there with @not normal dan and despite the predicted day of rain, it turned out pretty nice by lunchtime. Took a few pictures while I was there but tried to concentrate on the racing this time rather than the cars in the paddock.

    Race Retro 2015

    Never been to this before and I'm glad I did because it was a good day out, although it should be at £26 a ticket! Here's a couple of pictures from the rally display... The rest of the album is here... https://www.flickr.com/photos/steburns/sets/72157650907847706/

    Gone Retro... Sort of!

    I thought I'd pop out this afternoon with my camera and get some pictures of the Mazda with its new door roundels... It polished up nicely considering it's been stood about all winter :). I love this car, one of my favourites everrrrrrr!

    Bala & Back...

    Since buying the Megane I've been itching to stretch its legs and reduce that average MPG! So with all my Christmas shopping done I decided to head to Bala Lake and hit up some good roads along the way...

    High EE bills?

    I must admit I don't keep track of my phone bills, but I noticed on my bank statement that they're charging me nearly twice my monthly bill (£68 a month when it should be £35). I don't even use my phone that much and whenever I max out my data I just wait for it to renew. I've downloaded the EE...

    Gone French Again!

    So anyway... I've been looking for a car to replace the Ignis for a while now, but with the Ignis being so cheap and so fun it was difficult to find a worthy replacement. The natural choice was to go for another Clio, but having had 4 of the boomin' things I decided to try something else. Once...

    Would this concern you?

    Got a set of wheels in the garage with tyres, but the tyres appear to be perishing. Not much, but enough to make me think about changing them even though there is loads of tread left :confused:. I was thinking maybe they'd be okay on the back providing I drove sensibly? What you guys reckon...

    Memory card issue?

    I did a trackday today and used two memory cards in my video camera. Since getting home I've uploaded the videos from one memory card, but my laptop tells me my other memory card is blank. If I put the card back in the camera the videos are there, so why can't my laptop find them? This isn't...

    Curborough Sprint Course

    I've been a member of SDCC for a few years now, and they're the guys who run Curborough Sprint Course. The venue has grown in popularity over the years and with the tight circuit favouring good-handling cars like the Clio, I thought some of you may be interested in joining in 2015. This has to...

    Ignis number 3 (!?)

    I'm really not sure how this happened, but I was browsing the internet and spotted an Ignis Sport that the owner was keen to get shut of. Thinking the car would be good for spares or to use as a track toy I sent him a cheeky low offer, and now it's sat on the driveway... To be honest I...

    Riffy interior...

    I've just acquired a third car (I'll post up once I've got pics). The car has been cleaned inside and out by the previous owner, but it still whiffs a bit inside. I've tried spraying some Febreeze in there and I've currently got the windows down but the smell is still there. It's not horrendous...

    Trophy number 1

    I thought this would belong to Renault or in a museum somewhere, not at a backstreet car sales... http://www.dscars.co.uk/used-cars/renault-clio-2-0-16v-renaultsport-182-trophy-3dr-lichfield-201409207556522 I can only assume they mean it's limited edition, not number 1 of 500?

    172 Cup with CS sticker...

    Going to view this in the morning, and I've noticed the Cliosport sticker in the rear window. So, who's was it? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/151403587684?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2648&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

    Gold Cup 2014

    Anyone else go to this? I went yesterday and it was brilliant yet again, and apparently ticket sales have risen massively. My mate was racing there today in the rain but I didn't get chance to go today, I'm guessing it was pretty lairy! Here's a couple of pics I took, the rest are here...

    PC geeks please help!!

    I've just spent 3 weeks filming a BMX video and the past 2 days editing the footage on Windows Movie Maker, only for it to crash/corrupt the second I go to upload it! I'm fuming as you can imagine! Is there anything I can do, or am I up sh*t creek??

    Track spec Ph1 @ Curborough

    Silver with black Team Dynamics (I think!). Car looked familiar like I've seen it before... It looked good.

    Bug removal and window cleaning?

    Firstly, I'm not a detailer... Sorry! Basically, the front of my car is covered in bugs and I'm struggling to clean them off. I've got some Meguiar's bug remover but I may as well use toothpaste, it's rubbish! Secondly, I know there's some funky products out there for cleaning glass (you know...

    So I went for a drive in the MX-5...

    One morning a bunch of Cannock's finest hit the road from Staffordshire and headed south... And we got on a train... Drove through France and Belgium... And ended up in Germany... So I ended up here... Spotted a CS member...

    Donington Historic Festival

    I was at the Donington Historic Festival once again for 2014, as part of the MX-5 stand. Some of the cars on the club stands were rather special. It was all too exhausting for some... Some of the race cars in the paddock... Some racing shots...

    Ever run 14 inchers?

    On any car? Got some 14's sitting in the garage and was thinking of sticking some 185/60/14s on them and putting them on my Ignis as track wheels. My theory is that the ride will be better than the 15's as the tyres are higher profile with a larger diameter, and if I was happy with them I'd...

    Going around in circles...

    So, I've had two of these... Two of these... And now, two of these... Here's the new addition :) I've really taken to this one, it has been so well looked after by the previous owner... Only 74k from new isn't bad for a 23 year old car!

    Embedding on the new Flickr?

    Anyone else think Flickr is just getting more and more crappy? I'm currently trying to figure out how to post a picture from Flickr on another forum, but I don't appear to be able to post a BB code any more :dapprove: Any ideas?

    Everyone else's EE network working?

    Had no EE signal all afternoon/evening, I'm guessing I've accidentally been cut-off or something as I signed a new contract last week. Can anyone offer any advice as I can't call EE because I can't use my phone lol. I might end up having to return to the store where I bought the phone.

    RB182 Leicester this morning.

    Following the sat nav this morning with my brother to Leicester to purchase a bumper for his car, when I saw a modified RB182 heading the other way. Time was approximately half 11 this morning, and we were somewhere not too far away from Burbage!
