After all my sport spotting in the southwest, i thought i'd branch out to suffolk! lol
Yellow V6, i'm sure i've seen some really nice pics of it on here.
KARL on the plate, with black stripes, saw it at a Shell petrol station (don't know the road name as i'm not from this area, even though it...
Was driving through bath while at work todat at around 11am ish and saw the SDV complete with rally mud flaps.
Looking good i must say.
You were going under a railway bridge thingy the one way bit, know where i mean?.. lol, not sure on the road name..
When doing the old 6k Oil change over the weekend i noticed oil on top of the engine.
not knowing a great deal about these things, i'm just wondering if this is kind of normal? or if i have a slight oil leak.
(been hearing about a common 172/182 oil leak.. is this it?
Any ideas?
Does anyone know?
When you have your 172 serviced at a renault dealer, what oil do they put in?
If it's half decent stuff do they sell it? as i want to change my oil between service intervals but don't wanna spend a fortune on some, only for it to be changed to cheaper stuff in 6k miles time.
I've decided to give my car a proper clean so have bought all the stuff (knowing me, i'll get bored & never actually use it though lol).
Got the water magnet thingy
clay bar
AG SRP & EGP
So i am wondering, after washing the car, do i dry it before using the clay?? or just spray that detailer...
Was just going round a roundabout by coming from iron acton (by the great western business park) and as i went round, saw what looked like a Blue 172 cup going round it the other way, (towards iron acton)
Think the No. Plate started with 'HT'
But then again... i may be wrong, ws in a bit of a...
Spotted a silver 172 going down Gloucester rd towards town, i think it was an 02 plate with turini's.. around 1.30-2pm ish yesterday (saturday)
Lad gave me a little wave.
Anyone?
I just couldn't go on holiday without posting about the 2 cliosports i saw earlier..
1 Silver 172, over took me on the ring road (it's always the ring road!) between the sainsbury's (emersons) and beefeater roundabout stretch (you seemed to speed up after a new shape golf ;-).
It then went...
Just dropping the mrs in the Willy Wicket (still sounds a bit dodgy lol)
And saw a silver cup, going across the sainsbury's @ emersons green round about.
Lad with a skin head.. is that you davo172cup? or someone else in a silver cup?
also saw a blonde chick in a Arctic Blue 182 driving up...
After having very badly corroded rear brake discs on my car, i ended up having them changed under warranty from renault.
Now, one of them is fine & cleans up nicely when i drive, but the other one (drivers side) cleans rust off the edges when driving but leaves rust all around the middle.
I...
I've always used a chamois leather to dry my cars, but keep thinking of getting a drying towel (whatever they're called) hoping that it'll make life slightly easier.
What do you guys use?
Also anyone know of good websites to get a drying towel from?
Saw what looked like a 53 plate, silver 172 cup stopped at a kebab/burger van on the ring road near emersons green, bristol
Parked up with a blue pug 306 behind.
Must be someone on here.. i'm sure, it must be.
Both nice looking cars by the way. I went past with the mrs in her pug & now...
Was going up the M5 to tewksbury today & there was a massive traffic jam heading south towards bristol & i managed to see a nice 172 cup stuck in it.
i am soo glad it had cleared up by the time i was driving home just now!
Just spotted a yellow 182, on the Ringroad near beefeater roundabout.
I was going the other way so couldn't really see the plate, but it looked like a private one.
Was it you?
Just saw a silver mk1 turn off the badminton road towards winterbourne.
Anyone?? if it is then i apologise now for not waving... i was on a different planet & it took time to sink in. :-)
(i was in the cup pulling out onto badminton rd)
Just coming along Highwood lane away from Cribbs, and saw a 'Maturing Gentleman' in a blue 182 going towards cribbs..
About 11.30am ish i suppose
Anyone?.. or anyones dad ;-)
I have just gone through the insurance renewal procees on my car.
Last year they didn't have a 172 'cup' on the system so they assured me it was the same as a 172 'sport'
This year i called them up (them being privilege) and cancelled my insurance (as it's a few quid cheaper online & £25 less...
Any of you guys know about video cameras/ camcorders?? as in whats good at the moment,
what sort is best to get?
The mother-in-law to be, wants to get us a video cam for a present, but i havn't got a clue what sorts are good now a days,.
I've had a brief look at one of the ones that write...
Just coming out of sainsbury's emersons green tonight around 5pm, as i went onto the ring road a shiny blue (arctic?) 182 came around the roundabout after me..
And followed me as i turned off towards pucklechurch.
He then turned off at the siston turning.
No flash of the lights :-(...
Was stopped at a round about on the ring road (by The beef eater, emersons) and this Blue 172 came hairing it up behind me..
When i looked in the mirror, it was an 'older' chap with white hair (or was it silver hair ;-)
Anyone?.. or their dad? ;-)
I have a set of alloys for the mrs's car that need a little refurb & 1 new tyre. (they have 3 new 195/55/15 tyres on at the moment)
However she wants "Those tyres with the v shapes" (her words) So i have found some Goodyear F1's for £35 each but they are 195/50/15
Would it be ok to have 2 55...
