... in four years time! :o .... my 13 year old Niece wants a Merc SLK when shes 17, but has decided a Clio is a bit more realistic and nearly as cool! (She is also VERY financially astute) shes pleaded with me for 1st refusal on my car for her 17th birthday in March 2008...

am I a sad sad b**tard? I got 795 miles from one tank of diesel! (computer said 74.5mpg, 10.7 gallons and bout 100 miles on orange light) this was a genuine 2 weeks of commuting (50mph single carriageway cross country) with a bit of motorway, bit of heavy traffic, passenger sometimes...

at Motorshow Live yesterday! EXCELLENT: my tips: 1) buy a £5.00 guide (first PM for a FREE one!) cos the show is very spread out (indoors and out) and we must have walked 5 miles+. Outdoor stuff is not sign posted and accessed via Fire Doors between stands. The Security staff are...

at the weekend my 9 year old nephew said my car was cool and HIS 66 year old Gran would love a Clio too!! Id argue that there is not another car on this planet built today that appeals to both sexes and ALL ages in the same way! IMHO the ORIGINAL Mini, early Landrover (pre power steering and...

just been on the blower to Reno about my next planned mods: on top of my annual premium they ONLY wanted: Existing 17s (value £800) expensive @ £65.00 Lowered springs ONLY £9.45 Induction Kit (quoted for +3 BHP) £35.00 Superchips (or similar ECU for +15 BHP) ONLY £46.20 ****...

tried a dCi 100, but probably cos a bit smoother, quieter and refined, didnt really feel any quicker than 80. out of curiosity, I asked about trade in on Mint 03 80 with 11K £5000 to change!! - F**K OFF I will shortly be spending £300 to £400 on an chip upgrade!

Fed up with waiting for confirmation of advertised Superchips discount - I aint paying full £511 any GENUINE RECOMMENDATIONS for Chip or Tuning Box upgrades? (manufacturer/fitter and cost)

apparently since Asbestos has been taken out of brake pad linings, they are more prone to squeal or screech. Dealer checked the pads and discs on the missus Citroen and found nuffin wrong, so seems fair - they could have stung me for more pads!

main dealer is sh*te and rip-off, so need help! screeching discs on Xsara 1.6 16V - only done 15K easy miles with no brake warning light. worn pads?

got a clonk/creak from drivers side steering - most noticeable when reversing off drive at angle or slow turns on uneven ground. sods law, it started the day before I got 17s and lowered suspension fitted! any ideas? will Reno try and void my warranty & blame the mods?

I know all you Cup & 172 owners can do 14s, 15s and 16s But what about the rest of you - Im guessing about 18 for a dCi. what have ppl done in old and new standard and modded 1.2s, 1.4s, 1.6s and dCis??

seen loads of chat about bigger wheels making cars slower etc. Ive changed 15s to 17s and I cant feel the 1.9% difference! check out http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.htmlhttp://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html. Just put in current size and planned change. This is from the Home Page -...

Mag article is v. poor - Use exisitng data - technical spec already available from Reno and back up with subjective comments. - no tested 0-60 or 50-70, no comparisons with 80 or 100 rivals (Polo etc.) - no kerb weight listed and price wrong! I AM TESTING dCi 100 TOMORROW, AND WILL...

Went on the new Midland Expressway at 7.00am last Saturday. NO TRAFFIC, NO SPEED CAMERAS, NO ROADWORKS, PERFECT NOO TARMAC. The toll-booth had at LEAST 12 lanes (like Dartford Tunnel), but is VERY open & flat and I was the ONLY car there!!!!!

I reckon about 90% of us bought BLACK Dynamiques(probably cos theyre not totally colour-coded). I pass 4 black ones every day (two of the are KROs), and Ive seen 100s - whose got em?? I bet theres enough of us for our own Club - BCC!!

Boring place at 10.30pm, so.... kept resetting the Trip Computer... Did you know? at a steady 40mph in top a DCi 80 does 99.9mpg? @ 50 = 85mpg, 60 = 73mpg, 70 = 66mpg Then I got bored. @ 110 it does 34mpg!! I surprised a VTR that had passed me 10 minutes earlier when I was doing 40...

Im getting my Apex Springs next week. Where can I get them fitted cheap (ish)? (ideally within 50 miles of Aylesbury - e.g. Bucks, Oxon, Beds, Berks, Herts, Warks, North West London, MK or Northants)

Im getting my dCi 80 superchipped (102BHP and 172lb/ft torque) and want to upgrade the suspension first. I dont want to ruin the ride cos I commute 55 miles cross country - I just want it to lean less! 40mm lowered APEX are my first choice?!
