    YA02 - silver 172 - on the way to Bury

    Behind me in the s**t-heap (Jag) with xenons and front fogs on. Would have been Wednesday evening - approaching the turn-off next to the Seven Stars pub, off Junc 2, M66.... D.

    Racing blue 182 - Dalgety Bay, yesterday

    Surely to god you don't want a 360 THAT much?!

    Battlefield 2 : Spec Ops. Ordered today...

    Supposed to be out this Friday I think. Only £14.99 from Play.com so I can't really argue if it's a load of crap! Be interesting to see how the new units and maps perform. I hope it's not all night-vision crap and too dark like Doom 3 & Quake 4 - that will really piss me off... :nono: D.

    The Moon - last night (pic)

    Quite weird. Took this picture of the moon last night. It had a ring-like halo effect on it. Just a shame I didn't have a higher rez camera and a steadier hand to take the picture with!

    ITG panel filter. In or out for service?

    Should I take out the ITG panel filter and swap it for the original one for the upcoming 12k service? Or should I come clean, tell them its there and not to bother charging me for a new filter? I'll be taking it to a Reno dealer for the service. Unless Rentech opens up a branch, Manchester...

    Blue 182 with stripes - southbound M66

    This afternoon. I was heading north as you were on the other side of the m/way. Just after Junction 1 - the Pilsworth junction.... D.

    Call of Duty 2

    Only installed it so far - not actually tried it. From what I can recall, its the first game I've seen that has the graphics option for 'Optimise for SLi boards'. It would be interesting to see what your dual 7800GTX PCs make of this one, Lee. :cool: D.

    Trio of Clios - M66 this morning...

    First was a silver 172, then an arctic blue 182, followed by a 172 Cup - all within about a mile of each other... Approx 8.10am this morning - all heading south towards Bury. Anyone? D.

    Wrc 182

    ..... not quite - but the amount of shite on it could suggest other wise... Come rain, hail, tornados, snow, anything - I'll be washing it tomorrow.... D.

    Civilization 4

    All I can say is that if you're a fan of any of the previous three games - you need to get this. They've done a massive overhaul on the graphics engine (not that the screenies below prove that much) and the sound effects and music are fantastic. The AI players are a lot more devious now and...

    Classic games

    Basically ripped from the other post regarding ppl's thoughts on the Champ Man/FM series.... What do people fondly remember from their old computer/console days? Mine include Buggy Boy, Beach Head, The Sentinel, Elite, Dungeon Master and that 9 month spell that was spent on Wasteland on the...

    Battlefield 2 online

    Anyone go on this? Usually on for a bit at weekends. Would be good to team up with some CS members rather than complete strangers..... :cool: D.

    172 Cup - Hilda Street, Heywood....

    Spotted it a few times around there. Anyone on here? I think it's a '53 plate... D.

    R88* CUP - yesterday afternoon, Liverpool

    Heard you before I saw you m8! :) Quite a beefy zorst on that... 172 Cup - CS sticker in the rear window, outside John Moore's Uni in Liverpool. You wouldn't have seen me - I was in a black A4 in the middle lane... D.

    Should Reno have kept the same design?

    The more I see of the valvers and the Willys with their off-set bonnet 'bulge' - the more I think they look great. It's a shame they didn't do something similar on the 182 - after all, the engine itself is still off-set to one side. Probably some aero-dynamic or NCAP safety reasoning as to why...

    172 Cup - centre of Ashton-under-Lyne

    You came down Oldham Road and I was at the lights, next to the baths. You looked at me and I let on. Didn't see a CS sticker - but your car was a damn-sight cleaner than mine! ;) This was Saturday afternoon - approx 2pm... D.

    Redex, etc - any use

    What's the consensus on things like injector cleaning additives and stuff? Are they and engine placebo, doing feck all for you other than draining your wallet? D.

    Quite a few RS's - Liverpool JM Uni area

    Saw quite a few over the course of yesterday and today. A great looking 172 Cup with black alloys too. Of the ones I saw, none appeared to have a CS sticker though.... :( D

    Engine techie question.....

    What's the relationship between the number of cylinders and CCs? Why do some manufacturers make a small V6 - like the 1.8 found in the MX3 and others make large 4-pots like the 3.0litre in the Porsche 968? Would it be likely that Reno would have ever considered a 3.0litre, 4-cyl in the V6...

    182 wipers - erm, going ga-ga...

    Got in the car this morning and used the wipers a bit (never a good place to park is it, under trees?). They worked fine as normal, then a few streaks ran down the screen, so I put the wipers on again to clear it. Nothing - either on intermittent or full. I tried the washer jets and just got...

    Blue 172, blue 182, Whitebirk, Blackburn

    I think the 172 had a private reg starting A20 and the 182 - not sure on as it was on the other side of the carriageway. Anyone here? Just after 1pm this afternoon.... D.

    Yep, another set of cleaning pics -56k ok

    Probably not quite up to Brazos and R-Jays standard, but I gave the wifes car a decent wash today...... after mine, of course! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/DSCN1639.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/DSCN1640.jpg...

    My thingimyebob is broken...

    Noticed it when I refilled the washer bottle today. Leeshez - I had to hijack one of your piccies m8 - hope you dont mind! :oops: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/Doofer.jpg That black curved casing (what exactly is it?) has a bracket running up to that silver screw & washer...

    Turbo techie question...

    One thing Ive never been able to work out (in my small, fragile mind) is why turbo cars get a significant shot of power with relatively little boost pressure? My Punto GT only registered 1.4bar on the dash, which was about as accurate as unaccurate things can get. In fact, the last turbo car I...

    Worthing Clio’s...

    Spotted at least five 172s & 182s in and around Worthing at the weekend... Anyone here? Let onto a black gold 182 driver at the M40 (Junc 8) services as well - you waved back... D.

    Scooby wannabe exhausts....

    Id forgot about these until I heard one again yesterday. What is it with the Corsa owners who add the Scooby-sounding exhaust? Checklist for Corsa owners... Your car does not have a flat-4 engine In all likeliness, your Corsa will not have a turbo People may look (thinking its a Scooby)...

    Blue 172 + cold intake - Grane Road

    02 plate, dark blue 172 - approx 6pm this evening. Went the opposite direction to me - caught a glimpse of a red cold air intake (?). Only saw it at the last minute and didnt let on as the van in front was being a gernobshaft and I was keeping my eyes on him! D.
