Black 172 spotted on Friday afternoon in heavy traffic on M62 near XScape, Leeds. Roll gage, stripped back seats by the look of it and very low! Looked great:D

Had a bit of a mini-meet with coolchris555k and turner172 this morning.:cool: Met at a pub we know halfway on Notts/Lincs border. Had a natter for a while then went in for a shandy:o Nice to catch up with local members and see what each of us have done to our cars. Managed to reel off some...

'03 plate [VX03 ***?] Mondial Blue coming out of the road from Southwell onto the A617 at Hockerton village. Sounded sweet as the revs built up gunning it away from the junction.;)

Well after being with them for a year, my renewal has come thro from Admiral. I have a multi-car policy which was £520 for both the 172[with exhaust/filter mods declared] and the missus's Arosa. She had a total loss claim earlier in the year which took them months to settle. My car is on 16yrs...

Just bought a Panasonic DMREX75 DVD/HDD recorder. Any recommendations to where best to buy good quality blank DVD's. And which sort to buy. DVD-RAM seem to offer the most flexibility, what do you guys reckon??

Got my new PC a couple of weeks ago from 182_Blue. [Nice birthday present from the missus:approve:] Bought the 100v plug/transformer/extension etc and started with it last weekend. Had a bit more time on it this weekend. As you can see on first two pics, the bonnet was quite badly swirled...

I'm reasonably ok on computers but when it comes to things away from the mainstream I'd rather ask for help. I want to buy a usb hard drive and make a full copy of my harddrive. Is there a [preferably free] program I can use which would allow me to have windows etc and everything else on my...

Took my car to be MOT'd today and it failed on one thing. When on the ramps, then jacking up the front end, the mot inspector said there was too much play in the front passenger side suspension!:dapprove: He showed me what he meant. When holding the wheel you can push the wheel and suspension...

Went to the BTCC race at Rockingham yesterday, supported by the Clio Cup, Seat CUPRAs, Porsche Carreras and Formula BMW and Renault. Access into the venue was superb, no delays, though we did get there at 08:50! Had a great day, the view from the main grandstand is awesome, you can see the...

I have a Fuji S9500 9MP digital camera. I need more storage and better speed. At the moment i only have a standard Kingston 512MB card. I have a slot for an xD card, so could run two cards in the same camera, switching over when one is full. Any opinions as to speed of the above? Looking at...

When my OEM exhaust fell off in September I needed a cat-back system pronto. Couldnt wait the 2 weeks or so to order an "off the shelf" one LOL, so managed to get a Powerflow the next day. Fit is spot on, no rattles or anything, but now I have a bit of cash, I'm thinking of selling the...

Needed spark plugs changing and a bit of investigative/repair work doing on the car. I can't afford the time out of work to get things done in the week so it had to be a Saturday. Got in touch with Ben, who managed to fit me in 1st thing this morning - Cheers Ben!! Should have had some rear...

Was being followed by a 52 plate coming off A614 on the way home from work tonight. He came off the roundabout behind me, so of course I gave it some beans to see if he'd follow the bait [you know, with him having the lighter 'faster' car;)] He took it alright, caning it right up to *[insert...

Finally got round to posting some pics of my car.:cool: Just had a new bonnet fitted after a [empty] pallet landed on it at work.:dapprove: Just a standard clean today, clay, polish, seal and wax to come in a few weeks.;) Happy with the colour match. I was a little worried to say the least...

Just had a new bonnet fitted to replace the damaged one after the wind [and subsequent damage] we had a few weeks back. Very impressed with quality of fit, colour match [perfect] and customer service. Only thing to comment is it has some light swirls [buffer trails someone suggests?] from...

Took my Monaco Blue 172 '03 FF to RS Tuning in Leeds last week - pmurray on here. Had it re-mapped to pull things back in line after having cat-back s/s exhaust and ITG air filter fitted. Everyone appreciates constructive praise/criticism and unbiased opinions on the forum as it helps others to...

Happy New Year All. Wonder if anyone can enlighten me on the following. Car pulled in front of the missus, she swerved to avoid, ended up hitting a lamppost and subsequently, to cut a long story short, the car has been written off. The other car f*cked off - missus was on the service road into...
