Well i've just refilled the car having got what i thought was a very good amount of miles from one fill up...396 to be precise! The MPG never dropped below 41mpg and it peaked at 46mpg! I didn't drive like a granny for 9 days either...it included a run down to Brighton and back and that...

Had a RenaultSport Spider alongside me in the traffic jam on the A3 this morning with an appropriate number plate considering todays date! R666 MPH Rare as rocking horse poo

A situation today in which i didn't know whether to laugh my ass off or just lose my rag.....this is rather lengthy so sit back and enjoy. It seems as though owning my car attracts every little jumped up wannabe on the road looking for a race! Pulled up alongside a 206 dirgebox today at the...

Spotted another Cup in the outside lane of the A3 going south as i was heading north.....didn't catch a plate but exchanged glances. Cups are rare round Guildford way....usually when i see another its my mate in his!

If i see another Clio Sport these days its usually a Trophy!! There must be at least 5 or 6 in or around the Guildford area...maybe more! Saw this one on Salt Box Road today at arounf 5.45pm. It gave a flash on the way past Looked like it a slightly stoved in bonnet. Hardly ever see Cups so...

Joined the A3 at the Tescos slip to go North this morning at around 9am and noticed a Trophy about 6 or 7 cars ahead. Didn't catch a reg number because by the time i got past the cars ahead it had promptly given it some beans and launched itself off into the distance with some kind of high...

Im shopping around for a new panel filter for the Cup and had an ITG in mind but now ive found a Pipercross one on a website which is cheaper plus its 24hr free delivery (no im not tight, but i want it NOW!!) :D Does anyone have any experience of the Pipercross Panel filter? Is it worth going...

Need some advice as to the easiest way to change the Oil filter on my Cup. As its a pig to see let alone get to, im presuming its worth taking the fuel rail gaurd off? If so, how? If anyone has any pics of the process then that'll be great, if not just some advice on what to undo etc would be...

Can someone walk me thru (or point me towards a thread that does) the engine mount loosening and moving trick? I've got a few knocking sounds coming from my engine bay when going over bumps so im wanting to narrow it down as i think its down to either the fact that the engine has shifted back...

Followed a Trophy from the Shalford roundabout back along to the Guildford one way system and the pulled alongside it down past Edwards. They look so taut and solid compared to mine which feels like its about to rattle itself to bits! Once again Ive forgotten the plate.....it was red tho...

"Got an 03 reg 172 that makes a kind of knocking noise when turning sharply. It seems to be coming from the front of the car and happens at varying speeds. It's most noticable when going round mini roundabouts or when sharply turning right into a bumpy or off camber road. I have taken it in to 3...

When shes good shes very VERY good.....but shes bad she can be a complete b**ch. Or maybe im just being oversensitive to my Cups health... Drove home from work today without the stereo on...wish i hadn't. The noises! Have a kind of rattle/tapping/knocking sound whenever the car goes over...

A Pastel Blue 182 minus the stripes, which came onto the A3 off the Burpham slip this morning. Would have passed you on the outside had it not been for you dropping a cog and beltin into the fast lane and an oh so slooooow 1.2 Billabong or whatever it was holding me up!

Ok so here's the thing....I have a totally standard 172 Cup but want to make some subtle changes. So can anyone give me some advice on the following... 1) Which panel filter is the best one to upgrade to? I don't want a full on induction kit, i just wanna make it breathe a bit easier! 2)...

B or R*** BNO coming out of Ripley village near the A3 on Monday afternoon. Quite a good looking gal driving it. I was in the blue 06 Impreza STi (not mine unfortunately :( )

Just thought i'd recommend buying this months EVO mag. It has a 3 page article on the new Clio RS with lovely glossy studio pics and info on the technical bits. Apprently its offical name is the Renaultsport Clio 197 (altho it will actually be producing 194bhp, the 197 is the power in PS. 6...

Trophy going under the A3 flyover down from Woodbridge Hill at around midnight....hanging it round the inside of the curve like i had done about 10 mins previously...in the wet!:approve:
