Conversations with my sister and a mate; both times went like this (talking about football)... Me: "You should see the difference watching it on Sky Sports HD instead of normal SD - it's amazing". Them: "What do you mean Sky Sports HD?" Me: "I mean the Sky Sports HD channel on our Sky HD...

Well, not really BAD, but meaner (louder) and leaner than it was before. Big thanks to Mike and Dave at Rentech Towers for sorting the wiring problem this weekend - and while it was in, I had the rest of the trim/carpet removed. Including my rubber car mats (which weighed 3kgs) the carpet...

I mean, take care of yoiur pride and joy by all means but... ...youy're concerned about stone chips (don't drive so close ;) ) and the impact they'd have on how your car looks, yet you think fitting one of those abominations long-term is a good idea. Am I too old over here?

I thought about giving chase in the Omega...

...this is NOT a good look for a Clio.

If so, do I win a prize? Mmmmm, nice... Definitely not fit for the purpose...no way is that 'normal' wear and tear. Anyone have one that's worse?

My car's thrown an electrical fit and won't start (thread here). I traced the problem to a relay (nestled under a plastic cover by the battery and airbox)that's clicking 5-6 times while it flashes the gear-change light once the ignition's turned on. It's supposed to be in this picture, and...

Help please... 1st time I turned the ignition on, there were 4-5 repeated taps/knocks from the rear left of the car which coincided with the dash gear-change light flashing. Then after all dash lights finally go out I turn the key and get nothing, no solenoid click, no starter motor. So I...

My old man smoked like a chimney and my Omega, despite 3 Neutradol fresheners, absolutely stinks. I'm guessing the smells penetrated right into seats/headlining. What options do I have to get rid of it? Thanks Mark

F*** me - look at it go! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L5jBYa2GBiE ;)

Well, three of them, almost... These are what came out today, the first time ever since it left the factory 92,681 miles ago... New Old Can anyone beat that?

Or OK for road use, but not high mileage? Had my Pagid Blues removed today - after 30,000+ miles they didn't look too good... They performed faultlessly from beginning to end...although they did suffer a teeny weeny bit around the South West circuit at Bedford. Good...but not meant for...

I can't declare my no claims entitlement on two seperate policies, right? So I need to insure one of my cars with 0% no claims discount? Are there any companies you know of that give good cover for two cars? Or do I take it up the *** and pay through the nose for one of them?

Will be insured in two weeks time :approve: Mods planned so far by me are; 1. Clean it What else should/could I do? Oh yeah, trailer not included LOL Best thing about it is I can practice my left foot braking without having to worry about a clutch.

My brakes grumble badly and loudly during heavy use. I had a smilar problem around 40-50k, much less though, and cured it with a new set of calipers. Now at 90k it's back and ten times worse. Are the calipers shagged again, or could it be something on the hub assembly that's at fault? Thanks.

As many of you know I have quite a few videos on YouTube, and it's been interesting to see the "discussions" develop on them as they're referred all around the world. Today the total viewings of my collection totalled 100,000 :) There's nothing new here, but these 3 made up half that figure...

Goodwood today; fastest circuit I've driven, pissing down all day long. With Toyo T1-S on the back, PE2s on the front it was far too tail happy to do anything. Had to rule out the track tyres as they're almost slick, so swapped back to front, and expected an understeery mess. It was OK...

All usable footage is now uploaded... Part 1 - cliosport.net session - immediately after the stoppage Part 2 - cliosport.net session - continues from above to the end (posted in my other thread) Part 3 - williamsclio.co.uk session - rear facing camera Part 4 - Meganesport and AXOC...

I start just about to enter the left where a certain member had a moment. You can see it has a severe crest falling away sharply from the apex. This was the first lap at pace and it was slippy on cold tyres. Very tricky corner. I hoped I had the incident in my mirror, but it was beyond what...

The last three laps of the cliosport.net session. Featuring sm_wrc, 7 MAT, ClarkieV6. Click me

Finally, after a week of late nights and early mornings...they're ready... I know they look s*** - that's smoothrite and a 1/2" brush for you.

...I've been talking about getting one of these for ages. Been watching one on eBay for the last week, but no matter how much I want/need one, I struggled with the idea of spending £200+ on it. Then she goes and makes the decision for me, early Happy Birthday MarkCup :D I only got it tonight...

I need to leave my road wheels somewhere safe as I'll be sticking track wheels on as soon as I arrive. I can't leave them in my boot as I'll break my neck at the first braking zone...so, how at risk are things left on our "stand"? Have people had things nicked/damaged before? Anyone care to...

Filmed Saturday morning, hot dry and sunny :approve: Something for everyone here, rally cars, bikes, F1 cars old and new. The last two passes filmed were, err, interesting :eek: Best listened to with your volume set to 11. http://www.youtube.com/v/iMIzGg1o_cY

...went out for a blat this afternoon, nice roads, rear-facing camera, K-tec stealth and Yozzasport decat in all their audible glory, aided by a stripped to the metal rear interior. Short shifting at first through 2nd/3rd/4th, then a high rev blast to the top of 3rd through the "twisties"...

Just about to order new TV, Sky HD, and DVD theatre package. Already got an Xbox360. What do I need the DVD theatre thingy to have to be able to handle 5.1 digital from both the 360 and SkyHD? 2 optical inputs? What other connection options are there? Thanks Mark

I thought I was doing OK until a 230 driven by the Renaultsport Megane chassis engineer went past me like I was stood still :eek: Lot's of cars seen on this one - everyone was out in the dry, including a racing blue 197 and liquid yellow R27. Not sure who the black 182 was, quick though...

From the last Renault trackday. Not sure who this was, think it might have been 7 MAT. I got away, then promptly lost it. Clicky Tut tut.

First thread from me ever in here LOL Getting ready for Brands next week and I just remembered that the tyres I'll be running I leant to a member on here for a week not long ago. In that time they saw fit to "dress" them meaning they've now got a lovely slippery outside inch of the tread and...

I've long thought (since new) that it was down to weight, with me being in the car on my own and no passenger, but today I proved otherwise. I was out two up practising threshold braking; time after time after time (about 6 in all) I braked from *** miles per hour down to a complete stop...
