    dci's rule, espec if it's a 106, mines only 65 and its amazing, doesn't quite have the same go, but leave changing gear to the 3.5k mark or above and its actually sounds prity gd and goes some, do 80 without even noticing on the motorways. Go and look at cliodci.net, theres a load of us who all...

    O2 Joggler - £50

    Yea, there is also going to be a BT product that will be competing against it, and looks to be superior over it: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/apple/7724240/BT-to-launch-tablet-computer-to-rival-iPad.html

    The New Clio S

    only reason i like them is the fact you can get a diesel version, which would be nice... some sports styling, whilst still having the efficiency. The decals look awful though, plus would want more sensible alloys, but could be nice as a base to build on, if only I wasn't a poor student! lol

    my mother + 19inch wheels = dangerous!

    was reading the FAQ section, says discounts available for clubs, could be even cheaper i guess, look nice, could do with some next time i have money left from the wages... could be a while though p.s. not that i frequently hit kerbs, just the little ones in car parks that pop out of no-where...

    my mother + 19inch wheels = dangerous!

    do they cover the edges then? Thinking they could be useful to cover kerbing thats already happened on mine... if so £40 would be money well spent, untili have the finances to actually refurb mine, or buy a new set

    REAL motorway MPG

    Ah but were those Cornish miles... quite often borrowed the parents 4x4 when i needed space for 6 friends and stuff, never thought it did too bad fuel wise, took it out of cornwall to Bath for collecting stuff at the end of uni term and couldn't believe the fuel it went through, ended up being...

Quite glad I don't have the...

    Air-Con - Isn't it great

    had the choice between two clios, got the one i liked more, now in this weather I wonder if i should have chosen the one with air-con. Cant' stand opening the windows, it's always so loud, best way i've found is open the sunroof and turn the cold air on full pelt, still boiling. Not quite as...
