I chose a Mk1 because I think the front looks better and if I had a Mk2 it would have to be Black, and I didn't think they were worth the £6k premium (at the time) over my Mk1. I'm in the lucky position to have been able to choose though - but I must admit, I only chose a Vee because I couldn't...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yR1c_v1JtcM - the difference. Dan

I think we need to see more of the cleavage to make that decision... Dan

Hmmm. Was the VTS standard? Dan

Does it have like flared arches? I'm not too up on TTs hehe :) <goes to google for research> Probably a bit of a weapon with coils, porsche brakes - can they be remapped as well :p ? Dan

It was a 'TTs are gay' joke heh - It was funny when I thought it :) Dan

I don't like silver cars - I made an exception for the Vee, because it's a Vee heh. Most other cars just look so boring in silver. On the upside at least Iceburg Silver has a hint of blue to it - looks 'ok' in the sun. Dan

^^ Came out is right ;) Dan

^^^ 'kin tell me about it! 5 hours last week with clays/waxes/polishes etc etc and did it have good reflections? Did it b****cks :) Detailing mate was impressed with the condition of the paint though for a 6 year old car. Silver cars are crap to clean - I want a black one :) Dan

Suuuuuure ;) Anyway, looks fckin shiny to me 'depth' or not hehe! Good work! Dan

To be fair, if the cambelt snaps, it's 99% of the time because it hasn't been changed when it could be. And it's not as if other cars that aren't Clios don't have any issues - VAG/Jap groups are all just too up-themselves to have such discussions. At least we don't have to worry about rust...

Heh, I had a plenty good distance to see in every direction - if someone had been coming I'd have moved... D1CKY - it was ok because it was fresh snow so wasn't mental slippy - I was still gentle with the loud pedal though... They was a surprising amount of straight line grip tho. Glad I...

Thanks for the kind words all :) Feirny - I wasn't at the mount heh, that's 'Sheepdyke Lane' just at the edge of Hunmanby. gjgaz - just the standard 17s mate :) Dan

Dunno what you mean officer ;) ? Dan

I drove soooo carefully hehe :) It's just a back road into my village. Thanks all! Dan

I recall that the reason you couldn't get a Meg 230 engine into a 197 was because the Meg' box was far too big... However that must be wrong if the new Quaife diff is for the 225 and the 197? Having said that, haven't heard of a 197 box failure yet either...? Dan

To be fair, that's the only thing that really matters :) Dan

Winner. Dan

Hmmm, Lee, you spec of Cup would be everything I'd want to be fair. Now, are Xenons, soft dash dash (does anyone ever stroke their dash?), keyless entry (personally HATE that, but I know some people love it) and a nicer steering wheel worth £2k... Well I won't lie, when I look at it like that it...

No one said the 182 was a pointless car. They said the 182 Cup was a pointless car. Dan

You won't get caught if they don't think it's new. Put it in his hand luggage (assuming he's using an airport allowing it) and ditch the box. Dan

There is a FF 182 05 plate at my local dealer (Seamer) for £8.5k. Cup 182 / 197 is a bit pointless IMHO as it's not really any lighter, and they're not much cheaper heh. Of course, this is just my opinion, I realise everyone doesn't agree :) Dan

Bought a CTR one for my Vee - turns out, they don't fit Mk2 Ph1s heh. Dan

I thought on the FF the mirrors and stripes came black and you got no choice in it? Dan

Yup, s'what I'd do. £6-£7k minimum. Dan

2nd hand post October '07 build R27 with the revised 'box if I could find one :) Dan

Have we done this yet? I remember the discussion of the GT, but not sure I've seen the RS on here... http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/roadcars/twingo/ Almost looks quite cool :p Dan

The light fantastic was bought for me as a present :) Hasn't arrived yet - so I haven't had a chance to try it - but from the information around it seems to be basically tailored to the colour of my Vee hehe! My car does live outside, and I've never used a sealent on it before so maybe it's time...
