It's a couple of car lengths, and only because Goodwood has such long high speed straights. There's two where I get to over 120 mph in the ST compared to 115 mph in the Cup. On any other circuit I'd still be behind the Cup. Compare Goodwood to Bedford and its 1km long back straight where at...

I wasn't chasing it! It just happened...the rest of the day as I said was just 38s and 39s, but the Exige behind me pushed me along a little.

LOL Having reviewed all my laps I can report that it's not any more! 172 Cup - 189 bhp - 904 kgs - 209 bhp/ton - 1:37.58 ST MR230 - 230 bhp - 1,158 kgs - 199 bhp/ton - 1:37.17 I spent the entire day lapping in the 38s or low 39s, then on one particular session after lunch knocked out two...

Another video from the day with a first time track virgin passenger...

I'm meant to have two of these holding the lower edge of the rear bumper on... Instead, I have one good one as above, and the other looks like this... I suspect this is from when I got smacked from behind a year ago, the threaded metal stud got bent out of shape, it was bent back by the...

Is that a single speaker on the bottom edge of it?

Agreed...but a £3k plus?!

I'd like to think so! It had an abundance of grip and I was using nowhere near all of it.

I'm still not quite sure what the ST200 is all about?! If they'd give in a diff it would have made sense but as it is, nah. It even has flat paint FFS!

I seriously wish I'd never sold it!

Yep! So far at least...I still have 160gb of video and data to get through to see if I've beaten it. Its power to weight was better (it was 189bhp but weighed 904kgs), it had wider much stickier tyres on it, hydraulic steering and I was sat on the floor so could feel everything that was...

And my own! Lap times are not something I chase although I'm mildly hopeful I've finally beaten a lap I knocked out in my 172 Cup of 1:37.58. See above...I managed a 39.2 last year (MP215, standard tyres) and someone who came out with me on the last session where unfortunately I had to keep it...

AD08R, first time I've tried them, they were very very good. Friendly when moving, dug in hard when not. Considering how much I was moving about all day I took remarkably little off them too.

It's true...

F***-a-bout, what a palava. You certainly pick 'em Dave!

I can count on one hand how many times in the last year that I've touched any of the buttons on the stereo head unit in my ST. Voice control and steering wheel buttons are all you need. Even so, being able to press one button for a function is better than having to go through several menus to...

Sixth is very long, that's part of the reason why they can publish such good MPGs.

I liked/like Chip. I don't like that video. Good find.

It seems from what I've read that what they've done at the back makes quite a difference. Evo mag did a bit piece on it this month, they love it even more than they did before. apart from the price that is. Don't be concerned, loads have it done before they take delivery. I waited 12k miles...

I've been playing with mine since I got it, it's lurvley.

Is that from your camera? I've never had anything from the mount itself but have had a camera or two that have had internal rattles, mounted on the headrest can be a pretty rough ride for them.

No stills, just sounds mostly...and a couple shots of the Clio R.S. 16 which looks great in the flesh...

As a heads up Halfords Professional socket sets are half price at the moment, and until tomorrow web orders/reservations on all tools also get an additional 15% off. I'm just about to go and pick up the 200 piece socket set for £127.50. :grinning:

There is, the GT circuit which is basically the entire place...3.5 miles long I think it is. I caught my moment on camera on the day, it's at 3:55 below...filmed long before high definition was even an idea LOL Watching this back makes me realise just how much I miss that car. Sniff.

Sounds like a lot of fun. The South West circuit is a really good mix of corners and a lot less to get your head around than the full GT circuit. Sounds like your 172 is shaping up nicely. Last time I was on that layout was also on an RS day in my Clio 172 Cup...I had a high speed off on the...

I filmed it a few times on my nice new shiny Sony 4K thingy. Haven't gotten through all my video yet though so don't know if I captured its sound well. Can't say I recall hearing anything at all from it in person.

Don't forget the comedy price too. I do think it looks nice...but as with everything Clio since the demise of the Mk3 it's too little too late.

Fpm? You meant fps surely LOL?

Really? FLOL I thought the GoPro Silver's claim to 4k was laughable because it only did 15fps...but 10fps? That's like actual stop-frame-animation!

Wow, that camera rocks 640x480.
