    WRITE-OFF?

    Gonner. Sorry. :(

    Anyone else...

    I absolutely do not ever miss any car I sell. There is a good reason all of my cars have been sold - to free up cash for 'necessary' things or trading up. When they are sold for necessary things, it forces you to be creative about where to get your driving kicks. For instance, I would never...

    [PC/PS3/XB360] COD:MW2 Official thread - Contains spoilers

    It's sad, and I've never done it for any other game - but I too am grabbing it at midnight! :o :dead:

    Eds 172 Cup

    As others have said: Looks nice apart from the non-RS grille and lack of splitter. :) Yes, both items were standard on the 172 Cup.

    what machine polisher do you recommend

    If it's soft, it'll swirly relatively easily. It will also be easier to ruin a soft-painted car with a DA.

    200 = the new bug eye scoob

    ^^^ +1 Going slightly OT - In the last 4 months ownership, my Cup has needed a full set of engine mounts and a back box, something I knew about and accounted for when I bought it. Aside from that - and the poor lumbar support of the standard seats - my experience seems similar to yours: it's...

    200 = the new bug eye scoob

    Playing Devil's Advocate: I would imagine it's because they're in need of near-constant attention to keep them in tip top order? My experience of Renault has involved some 'tinkering' - not that I mind - more so than my other cars (except for the VXT and Elise). A new car has a warranty that...

    200 = the new bug eye scoob

    For the record, £16k is not *serious* money, which is why I'm dumbfounded by Jasey's apparent superiority complex? Don't feel bad. Someone has to do it. It's supposedly a very good car too! :) I refer you to my previous post: It's not that I can't afford it - far from it - it's because I'm...

    200 = the new bug eye scoob

    Personally - and this isn't going to be a popular thread amongst new 200 owners - I hope s/h values drop like a stone. In 4-5 years time, I'll be able to pick up a supposedly fantastic hatch for peanuts. Awesome, you've got to love Marmite.

    32-37" TV ideas

    Just blew the budget and bought this: Samsung-UE32B7020 > Backlit LED TV - 29.9mm thick! The price here is at least £100 cheaper than anywhere else (I could find). Chepest electronics EVAR - www.saverstore.com :)

    Burnt Orange and Liquid Yellow 182

    I've never seen a bean, though in photos I've never been bowled over with the colour. LY is stunning in photos and in the flesh though.

    Clio182 trophy??????

    So, to the OP and to summarise: a) there's not a huge difference on paper between all of the RS models, but the Trophy is in a different league to drive. Though not according to Danny. Who's driven more RS's than most. b) matt has a hard-on for his car and likes to wink at lads. Because he's a...

    32-37" TV ideas

    Ooohh! Just noticed that this has £100 cashback and a free stand! :) http://www.electricalexperience.co.u...t.php/3584/823 ^ Higher contrast ratio (2m:1) but a lower Brightness (450 cd/m2 - compared to 500 cd/m2 of those mentioned above). Is this a noticeable difference? Deal breaker?

    32-37" TV ideas

    Now I realise there's another thread on TV's on this same page, but let me start by confessing that I have no idea if quality varies in manufacturers model ranges according to size? On the basis that it DOES, I'm looking for a 32-37" (no larger because our chimney breast would be dwarfed by a...

    rim tape, opinions?

    Pretty ghey on anything other than a MotoGP bike IMO.

    Turini's have they had there day?

    If they're OE on a Cup and Trophy, they were never that unique! :S

    Turini's have they had there day?

    I like the OE look for road cars. It seems I'm not the only one. I guarantee that if the Trophy had been supplied with another design of wheel, they too would be popular... After market wheels have to be very good (and usually expensive) to avoid making the car they're on look like a Halfords...

    Modifying cars to a high standard then selling them on straight after..

    All I can say it thank f*ck my car came with a Cup spoiler and Turinis as standard! ;) I seem to be spending my time rectifying/ replacing crap bits (new seats, engine mounts, refurb wheels, new exhaust and mounts, removing awful Greenstuff pads and replacing Apex springs (*shudder*) with Eibachs).

    Clio 182...what do you dislike?

    Go on, watch-a got? I've got a lovely Breitling Navitimer Cosmonaute... ...that I got from a 'street jeweller' in Saudi :o :)

    Clio 182...what do you dislike?

    Nice cars Adz! I am truly stunned that someone would question you owning a Fezza! Hat's off to you for proving it though! In your position, I'd not bother justifying myself to someone that would be so crass! Unbelievable that you were put in that position! Maybe that's just me though. I...

    Few more 182 bits

    £300 for a cat? :) Awesome.

    You need Windows 7. ;) Or Visit Dell's support pages to see if there is a download for that hardware.

    new gamertag ideas?

    Depends on the sort of games you play predominantly. I play FPS's and tend to win quite a bit ;) so naturally I picked "A_Lack_of_Skill" (ie - - - * you have been killed by... *). I find that when I'm pissed and playing, it also gives me leeway to be a bit $hit! To my mind, it's far better than...

    Clio 182...what do you dislike?

    The seating position is abysmal, steering wheel is so big that I sometimes catch my hand on my leg in tight turns and the lumbar support (or lack thereof) on the standard seats is terrible too - even with new seats!! Re: Cold engine - I drive like a granny when the car's cold so it's never...

    Which Clio to buy?

    I don't see Trophys losing much money (perhaps find one that has had a refurb?).
