Despite living in Southampton, I wouldn't mind the drive to Wales, some of the scenery looks really nice around there! If enough people were up for it, I think it would be a decent day!

Dan, you should take all us budding CS photographers out for the day and show us how its done ;)

If you had £50 to spend on a piece of kit, what would it be and why? Lens? Bag? Tripod? Shoot away! (no pun intended) ;)

This. Canon 1100d (replaced the 1000d) would be a good shout if you want to buy new.

Is that the bit where you control the remote control helicopter? Does my f*cking head in!

I always brim mine as soon as the light comes on, seems to last longer than if I only fill half then fill it another half again once thats all gone..

How much is your budget Gally? £150 or can that stretch?

Thanks guys! I've seen one for sale, early 2006 model, ultra red, 35k miles, just had Gold service, for £6,500 - sound good? Its got digital climate control aswell.

Fifa 11 really f*cks me off all the time. As does MW2 when you play objective games like Demolition or Sabotage and your team just don't know how to play the game mode..

This has probably been covered umpteen times, but my inability to search properly couldn't find anything. Did the gear ratio change in the 197 (end of 07 iirc?) make a massive difference to the MPG? I'm wondering if it is worth spending the extra money on a later model with the revised ratios?

Ragged to pieces.

That Lens can be had brand new off of Amazon for £163.95. Snap it up, bargain price!

5 years or 72k mate.

+1 Chris - Was it you popping wheelies in the Renault 5 when I played with you guys a while back?

I would, but as it stands I dont own a car lol! Am going to look this weekend at getting one - what day is the one next week in Portsmouth?

Never been to a meet before, getting a 182/197 (indecision ftl) in the next week or so as sold my current car, and thinking of going up to this to meet people!

This. Epic when the sun is on it.

From what i've read, apparently it is an easier job than on the 182/trophy. I assume that would mean cheaper, but knowing Reno, probably not..!

Yep just had a look around on clio197.net etc, says belts need to be done 72k or 5 years, same as 182.

Ok will do, I'll have a look around and find out!

Ah thats cool thanks again for the info! Does the belt have to be replaced after 5 years/60k like the 182?

So the belts don't get replaced then? Cheers for the info! Adam.

Been looking at a few 197's, a couple i've come across have advertised the fact that they have recently had a 'gold service'. Just wondered what this entailed? Whether it was belts etc or something different? Thanks! Adam.

If you get it charged, ring one of the numbers on the phone (i.e. 'Home') and tell them you have it.

Take it to the police and say you found it etc. When I handed in a wallet a few years back, they said if no one claimed it within 60 days then they would ring and I could have it if I wanted it. No idea if they still do this nowadays, but its prob best to do it so you don't get into any sh*t...

Turn it on and have a look... Alternatively, go to your local police station and ask if anyone has reported a missing phone?

^^^ Is that a frog?

Moral of the story - Get your entries in nice and early ;)

Aviva were good for me at your age, as soon as you get 1 years NCB it will start falling in price..
