Those who don't know me, I used to have an RT hence the name, traded it for a mint VTS (which I love) but finally took the plunge - what the hell we're only here once. Spotted online a 53 plate silver mk 172 at Benfield Renault, Newcastle. Though in once sense I like 182's, I prefer the...

Just looking at the washer ball thread... I'm looking at buying a 53ish mk2 172 very soon. Other than obvious faults or scratches/dents, what sort of stuff should I be checking, ie any common faults that I may overlook. The car in question is a 53 plate mk2 172 29k miles going for £8995...

Is a 53 plate 172 mk2 likely to have cruise control like the 182?

Tailing me up past the angel of the north and on to South Shields today around 2pm. n*** ka* iirc was the reg. I was in the gold VTS.

Spotted going along Prince Edward Road, Saturday at approximately 13:45. NA55 C** 2 up, both looked like guys.

Posted on Barryboys Only that the thread starter, clearly knowing nothing about cars, slates it only to be put in his place. Anybody's off here?

Anyone played this? Got it for Christmas and have played it a bit. Visually, it looks great, very atmospheric. Very creepy though, I hate getting frights and I'm crapping it just walking along the dark corridors listening to that awful little girl laughing and making appearances. I can...

Lucky this tree was here for this chap Is that a Clio 1600 or a Suzuki?

Got my W800 on Monday. I've been trying to send pics to my pc via bluetooth. Numerous problems. Firstly, my phone can't see my pc and vice versa. Both are in the visible mode. I switch bluetooth on/off and often the phone freezes for a few minutes and eventually restarts. I've tried...

My sister has a Cuban penpal who has asked her to try to get a PS1 game for his son. I'm guessing they use US NTSC but what games available on UK ebay will work? I ended getting a beat em up for what I thought was NTSC but it's Jap NTSC and I don't know if that will work. Will it...

Getting a W800i on Monday. Where's the best place to buy a 2Gb card? I've looked on ebay but the prices are all over the place what with cheap cost and high postage/high cost and low postage. Anywhere better I can get one? How much am I looking at, about £100? Cheers.

As title, today at 1pm ish, lady driver (I think!), private plate J..... My first Trophy spot. Followed two cars behind it was a silver mk2 172 S* **E, see this one all the time in the mornings along Felling by-pass.

I'd like to back up 60 or so SMS's from my D500 before I send it back for replacement. How can I do this if at all? I've seen those USB sim manager things on ebay but they just seem to back up phone numbers. I can't get Samsung PC Suite to connect with my phone via bluetooth. Any...

Spotted on John Reid Road dual carriageway heading towards the Nook. I was alongside you at the lights kind of hoping youd go for it. Wet road though. At first I thought youd booted it, so split second later I boot it. Then looked like you backed off. Wasnt planning going daft, just up to...

Following me until I let ye overtake Private reg R* ***.

N*02 0** Spotted along Marsden Road at tea time. Sure thats the 172 I nearly bought?! Anyone?

Is £6900 trade for an 02 Clio 172 with 26k on it good? I think it is personally as most of the trade 02 cars have been close to or higher than £8000. Its 30 miles away but may have a trek down and take a peek. Ideally I want a 53/04 but this 02 car wont cost me any extra on what paying for...

Spotted yesterday (Monday 23rd) one mk2 Flame Red 172 gunning it down Newcastle Central motorway towards Toon. HN** C** And later same night, another Flame Red mk2 172 giving it large past me towards South Shields past the Lakeside Inn, Jarrow. Y*72 F** Anyone?

(This is not about elephant but bare with me its about First Alternative) Ive been with elephant for the past 3 years as theyve always been the cheapest (thats after adding my mother as second driver). Last year, with 5yr ncb, no points or claims, they wanted £550 for my VTS (bad area). I...

Ok, sold my RT in 03 and bought the VTS as a stop gap sort of. Im now just about in the position of being able to afford a Sport Clio. I went into Gateshead Renault yesterday and none came up on the search except a few pre reg 182s. She phone me back later to say they were getting an 02...

Cruising along past Gateshead stadium, along Felling by-pass and towards Boldon. Two up - male driver and younger male passenger. Looked fanstastic. I spotted the other mk2 low spec Clios around you and made yours look all the more wicked. **04 NR* Anyone?

First of all, I noticed a ridiculous black VTR trying to draw level with me, and boom, here comes an Arctic Blue 182 undertaking him and overtaking me. Guy in his 30s. Didnt get reg. Anyone?

Driving very quick southbound towards Tyne Tunnel, with baby in back I might add. One quick RSi that. Looked standard. M reg.

Nice looking lady in a lovely Monaco blue ph2 16v. N4** **U. Anyone? Only know of 3 valvers in Shields now. I know the other two and theyre red.

Is there any way to find out who a car is insured with? Dunno if it would require someone who works for an insurance company. Theres a car round my way with all sorts of mods and I know for a fact that they arent declared. Ordinarily Id just stay out of this sort of thing but Im itching...

http://web.ukonline.co.uk/gazfives/my_clio_rsi.htmhttp://web.ukonline.co.uk/gazfives/my_clio_rsi.htm He used to say his RSi could beat virtually anything on the road (and still claims to beat an awful lot of faster cars). He originally was claiming to beat Cosworths and all sorts of others...
