Ruby - relates to personal plate as well as colour. Too much explaining - one of those things 99.9% of people just go ??? and the 0.1% think is genius. None of the 0.1% will be on here, so I'll shut up now. Wife's 500 is called buttercup - this may be related to the shy and retiring bright...

A million penny chews

Seats and mountings weigh a chunk less, wheels weigh less (and lets face it, upsprung makes a big diff) also bit more soundproofing etc stripped out. Obv if you were one of the lucky ones to get the Recaro option, not such a delta, but the wheels are surprisingly lighter.

Trophy's lighter than the cup.

Thought the baby Recaro thing was a wind up, but no! Trophy is loads o' fun. Lighter than cup and seats make all the difference.

PE2 at the right pressure seem to do the business in the wet.

By common I mean 3 in work car park, 3-4 more parked on the road nearby (one with a very good personal plate for the business D10MET) and four more that live in Swinton/top of Wath. Same area we're talking one Trophy, one cup, 2 full fat 182s and a 172FF And one 500 8 )

Had a lot of exhausts and revved very high for an oil burner ; ) The cnut carved me from a side road and I overtook immediately. He was then right up my chufter. I waited till we got past the known local speed cameras and populated bits and into a series of twisties and opened up. Going into...

I did enjoy watching it try to keep up, but keep getting smaller and smaller, hopefully like the ego of the rather cliched bloke driving it.

Meh, not impressed by the new Cooper S. Missus test drove one and was seriously underwhelmed. Feels planted, but should be quicker and/or roomier for the $

The missus has a 500 1.4 sport and it's a fecking scream. The Abarth SS with the tuning kit is going to be interesting to say the least.

Really not worth it....

Don't knock the ST - not too shabby for the money now. Was scary expensive when it came out, but dealer discounts mean it's more competitive now. Of course, the 500 Abarth super sport with the tuning kit will make the Fiesta look shite ;)

Yes

187 terminal must require a change of underwear.

What he said. £200 - £250 for 24K and a dealer stamp. Mytyres are very good - my local indy place prcematches them, so I get fitting free effectively. Try it, you'll like it!

Seconded - makes the iphone look like a toy. Bigger cap, video recording, better streaming, MS Office, .pdf support etc. Cheaper too.

It's the pimpage. I preferred it over the P1i, though I will miss the qwerty keyboard from my old p910i

Re: Sony Ericsson updates and questions thread Winner - btw, the w960i kicks the sh*t out of the iPhone. It's cheaper and better. Only downside is that I feel a traitor for abandoning my venerable p910i

16" Turinis, but also consider OZ Superturismos

I'd personally only bother if you've had a bit of breathing work done.

Unlucky dude, it's the time of year for it. Least your head didn't fall off.

I'll give it a test drive, but I suspect they've not done all they can with weight. Why take out AC, but have an option? Why not go for a manual AC as a compromise. Halogen headlights? Heavy ballast and transformers R us. After the R27, thought it'd be a little more hardcore...

Nice motor, spotted it walking to the start of the half marathon in the village this Sunday.

Er, not really. Dude at work is gradually tweaking his. He brought a couple of RR printouts in a couple of weeks ago (before and after latest remap) 335 at the wheels.

Ruby - she's red (and if you play MTG, she's a mox and thus the definition of fast.)

WICKED CHILD There is a slight drop, but when you think you've had two years fun driving for effectively £3K, it's still the value.

When work amended my milage allowance, cruise control at 58mph on empty motorways became the preferred option and mpg in excess of 40 entered my life for the first time.

scam

I'm biased, but get the tomato.
