I wish it was, bet people with Halfords body kits are pleased they don't cost the same price as the V6 replacement panels ;) Still the V6 looks f**king awesome compared to very tall people carrier looking 197 shopping trolly, but at least yours is good for shopping, bet women love it ;)...

Have you tried kicking the s**t out of it while screaming like a b**ch...my wife seems to think that helps ;) Simon

about time they banned f**king diesel on the roads, save it for boats and tractors, where it belongs ;) Tough luck Colin..... :( Simon

From what I have read, dyno figures at rolling roads seem to vary like hell, they are only good for remapping and seeing what changes you can do with mods?(ie before /after) The only true flywheel figures are taken when engine is OUT on a bench, and lets face it, nobody wants to do that...

Well I will wait untill Plasma can do 1920x1080 res before I buy one, will get a Blue Ray player at the same time, untill then I will stick with my 42" LCD, looks far better my my mates Plasma (1024x768) when watching HD programs (much sharper image), which is all I watch really anyway these...

yes it can untill Plasma can run high def res, they tend to be 1024x768 at most, LCD often are 1920x1080 (true HD) that 768,432 pixels verses 2,073.600 pixels....thats almost 3X the res....but agree that Plasma has blacker black :) although there is a Plasma that does 1920x1080 but its over...

I want a 1920x1080 plasma, but the only one I have seen has been over £4k lol......will keep checking :) Simon

Never really sure about these Plasma's, are they proper HD? Bit low res for HD I would have thought? But then I'm going by LCD's, as they can have up to 1920x1080 (proper HD res, over 2 million pixels) Picture resolution 1024x768? that not a HD res, its not even a widescreen res? so how do...

Plasma have better "Black" but LCD's have better Resolution for the price. you can get 1920 x 1080 LCD's with 1080p for just over £1.3k, the same in Plasma will set you back £4k.....unless someone knows different? I am looking for a new TV, but want 1920x1080 res min, to make full use of...

do the vid again with much better quality, start from 0mph and go on to either 95 for true 90 or 106 for true 0-100, and then we can all see how fast your diesel really is ;) Simon

Well that does sound high to me, as when my Clio is pulling just over 4000rpm at 70mph its still in 4th gear ;) :) Simon

Always thought BMW stood for Bloody Moronic Wanker, I now see its TRUE :( Simon

agree ;) Simon

No there is no real need for a spoiler or wing on any road going car..... That diffuser looks far to small to cause a proper venturi effect and therefore downforce, I would have thought? Simon

I'm with you on that, the diffuser is way to small and to high of the ground to have any effect on a little under powered Clio ;) I guess they put in on to look good and make people think they are driving F1 Tech....lol ;) Simon

I agree to some extent, but it must a be a bit scary for the instructor/pupil when they are a raw beginners with NO clutch/gas control at all? Once they get used to driving then most cars would be ok? However I would have thought that with petrol/car/tyres/servicing/general running costs...

Bloody hell, when I learnt to drive it seemed all driving schools had little Mini's and 1.0 Fiesta's and the like, even then I thought driving lessons where expensive, must be expensive to run a Type R as a learner school car would have thought, plus a bit scary for the instructor lol ;)...

You speed it up by 16x on Auto pilot I think? Simon

Yeah but looks are so subjective aren't they? I HATE the new typr R, look real bad to me? But I guess you like it......not sure why? they are so ugly... :( Simon

No mate you got that wrong, V6 are "Real blokes" cars, according to Top Gear, where as NON wide body Clio's are just Girls cars, great for shopping lol.... ;) Simon

All survived, but Herbert smashed both ankles and came close to losing one of his feet that day, still walks with a slight limp now i believe? Simon

Yeah it shocked me, glad hes ok :) its a testiment to modern F1 cars. Martin Donelly's f1 crash at jerez was bad, the car broke in 2 and left him on the track, Kubica's looks just a bad......thanks god for crash testing :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QhGjuTpej3Q Simon

yeah that is mad at 30, why so much? Simon

One good thing about being older, I have just paid my years fully comp (protected insurance) on my V6, group 20D, £384 for the year :) thats 4yrs NCD, as some shithead knicked my last car (5GT Turbo) 4 years ago :( Simon

wow, been spotted twice now lol :) in 3 years ;) :) I saw quite a few 172/182's out today :) Simon

Yes but just best to send off at least 14 days before they run out, not hard to do, is it? :) for piece of mind at least....... Simon

There is no exemption for driving a motor vehicle on the road because your excise licence has been stolen or not arrived yet - in this instance you would be liable for committing an offence of failure to display a current tax disc. thats what the law says about it, I believe? Simon

I doubt it?, but they don't take long to come through, I taxed both my Clio's online and got them well before the exisiting ones ran out :) Simon

Anyone touches my LCD with their dirty figures dies, I don't want that at all......... :( we will all end up with shitty dirty screens :( Simon

expect we could always drop a 2.0 ltr from a 182 in the front and have 4x4 and 437PS lol ;) ;) :) Simon
