Nice dude. Whenever I take night photos they come out like this as well, kinda yellow, is there some kinda setting I want to try and tweak to stop that? Dan

I was just using it as a dodgy handling in the wet comparison hehe :) Dan

Been a bit kind to standard MR2s there re: cornering IMHO heh. I reckon, in the wet, with bald tyres, driving drunk in a Mk1 Vee - you'd be less likely to bin it than you would sober in a tidy MR2 hehehe :D Dan

That's it - next time I'm in Leeds at hospital, I'm having my mum lean out the window and record us blasting through the tunnel hah! Dan

The RB Horse FTW. Dan

I like the ST205 GT4s - with the 4 headlights. They have awesome grip in any conditions - although they're not as fast as you'd hope in a straight line when standard considering they are the awesome side of 240bhp - because they're heavy and it's quite a 'lossy' AWD system. The good news is...

RenaultSport.co.uk - forums > dealer section. Post up what you want, and see what the dealers on there offer you :) Probably get that spec for closer £16k - maybe less. Dan

Be incredibly careful with Tuscans - definately don't buy that one as it hasn't had a rebuild yet. If you look at the Wanted adds - a lot state "Must have had rebuild" - that's right, 20k miles rebuild - for example this one - http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/211641.htm "Prefer recent...

To be fair to her - the whistling vent was bloody annoying heh! Dan

220bhp is the 888 remap - or for £500 on your standard one Regal will give you 230bhp and 240lbs/ft.... Weighs about the same as a 197, 1220kg iirc. That'd see off most stuff to be fair in a straight line, would give a the Vee a run as well I bet once rolling. Dan

My mum eggs me on for dodgy overtakes... No s**t... She was commuting daily in my 206 up until about 18 months ago to leeds and back to visit me in hospital for a 9 months ish. And one day she arrived and said "How annoying is that whistling vent at about 100mph? If you push past it goes...

I'd get the Recaros. If we're honest, in day to day driving the Cup suspension makes no noticeable difference - and park two next too each other, one with, one without - the ride height difference is negligable as well to be fair. You can always add spoilers, paint the wheels and deck it on...

Awesome miss match. My bet, 182ff, swapped the seats and wheels with a Clio Sport/dynamique owning mates for a few quid - knowing the garage would be too thick to know what it was meant to be like inside and outside. Laughed all the way home. Dan

I think keep all the touches one colour, grey or yellow or green. Don't combine. Personally I'd go for grey :) Dan

Don't get the 1.8 SRI - the 2.2 SRI is a much, much nicer drive and if you get some quotes you'll find hardly any difference in the insurance. Consumption isn't really much worse either. Very smooth, torquey drive and works well in the Mk4 chassis. They're not exactly fast (although they claim...

I hate that my username on here is Iridium and not Dan heh. I knew it was something like that. Test drove a couple with my brother a few years back, he bought a 406 V6 Coupe in the end - which has been epically reliable. 4 years he must have had it now and not a single thing has gone wrong...

Madden - correct me if I'm wrong, the E39 is the previous (nicer IMHO) model M5 yea - the 5.0 V8 400bhp one? I'm no good with these beemer E numbers heh. Beautiful cars. What's it like to live with day to day? Reliable? I assume it likes a drink? What's the in gear like? Pick a gear, any...

Hehe, I've deliberately kept quiet on the image of Beemers for this very reason ;) Dan

Nah it's fair, Fiats aren't as bad as people make out. And the Coupe's are very well made (Pininfarina?). Also on the higher spec 20vTs - (SE is it?) - big 4 pot Brembos, leather etc. And they are b*****d well fast -handle incredibly well for a seriously torquey FWD as well. Dan

Could be a home trimmed job? Dan

Need a few more details to be sure? Colour/age/history/belts? For a late one, from a Renault Dealer, I can see you'd have to pay £5.5k-£6k to be fair. Whether that's a good price or not is open to debate - because you can get a tidy 182 for £6k privately now - although some people don't like...

The 'teg - I'd hit that. Dan

If you're a posey t**t you'll love the Vee. I do :D And Ali certainly does goin by his posts haha. Everynow an again you'll be almost embarassed by how much you love been the centre of attention and say stuff like "It's so annoying when people are taking it's photo on their mobile when I'm...

^^^ Seconded on the FTO IMHO. The standard CS progression seems to be either VX220/R26/ST/VXR or just mad jap thing (DC5, CTR, 200SXs etc). And the odd one that goes to a Vee as well. £5k tbh you can't really go much quicker or have as much fun as a ClioSport for that money. Dan

^^^^ There are vids of that M3 on YouTube - it doesn't look as awesome without photoshop work :( Wheels are smaller, it's not as low etc. Still looks damn cool though and is mentally fast. Dan

I've just tried out Poorboys Wheel Sealent on mine, can't give a review yet cos it's only been on 2 days and the car hasn't moved :) Dan

^^ Hah too true. I've still never seen another Vee on the road aside from going too/from FCS right near the venue :) The driver of that MCoupe in the ghostrider vid has got skills and some stones. Dan

I got some microfibres in the post today :) Dan

Sagaris looks like it would rape you, kill you, and rape you again. Whilst smoking inside a public building, drinking Newky Brown and eating a Phaal. Dan

That's an SZ. Not a rat looked car. Fail. Dan
