Just been out for my normal Saturday morning burn up here in Edinburgh. Its got to be said, get yourself up to Edinburgh: the roads and the cars that are up for a race are a fantastic combination! OK, I know Im about to invite some Toofast-style "yeah right" comments, but please read on...

Ahhh...finally some sun in Edinburgh!! I decided to celebrate by taking my pride and joy out for a burn. As per usual, the A198 out towards Gullaine delivered the goods in terms of a decent car to challenge on the twisties. Last time it was what I now know to be a 1993 Audi S2 (all 220bhp of...

OK boys and girls. I have been doing some research on turbo diesels after I had a mind-altering ride in one the other day. And you are NOT going to like it. Diesels are not my cup of tea – and I’m not trying to sell you one. But listen up please! I started off by comparing detailed in...

I was away the whole of this weekend in Aberdeen. Bit of a trek from Edinburgh, and not exactly exciting with straight dual carriageway all the way. Anyway, one of my mates mates who we met up with had a hire car 2.0 Citroen Xsara TD. As it was a hire car, he was more than happy to...

Well, well!! It was definitely worth the trek from Edinburgh for the meet - fantastic cars and very friendly people. Its really funny meeting people and greeting them as their Cliosport nicknames (fortunately, but unimaginatively, mines Ben H). I thought Id be travelling back solo after we...

Hiya mate! OK - this has been a major decision! I had the MOT done on me old motor today and the bill was £350 (about £320 more than I was expecting!). So Im thinking... a) Its about time I got some use out of this darn car Ive spent £3000 on in the last 6 months b) I might as well...

Its a nice day up here in Edinburgh, so I decided to take my moded Valver for a bit of a spin into the countryside. I took the A1 out of the city, then the A198 - which is really well surfaced, twisty and has lots of safe overtaking opportunities. The sun was shining, I had all the windows...

Id be interested in swapping my 16v for a mint and standard (filter etc excepted) Williams if anybody is willing and fancies a change. Basically, youd be getting one of the best Clio 16vs out there - with leather... Engine: 1794cc F16i.e. twin-cam 16v. Re-built by specialist in 2001 with...

Have just been to get some new Yokos for my beast - and was chatting to the guys at this place about my Valver. The mechanic swore blind that the very last of the Clio 16vs were fitted with the 2.0 engine!!! I said "no way", but he wouldnt budge and said that his mate used to have one...

How about a meet in Edinburgh? Ive been here for a few weeks now and have seen loads of 172s and a Willy 3 (parked next to the castle on Sunday). So I know youre all here somewhere! Lets get some cars to meet up and show me around! Im sure there are some proud "Edinburghians" (!) on here!

Things just wouldnt be "right" if there wasnt something a little bit wrong with my 16v! Im up in Edinburgh at the moment - doing about 30 miles a week in my car (if that) as a) Im cycling into work b) my motor needs some love Grubby-handed questions: 1. My car rumbles like hell. The...
