Yeah but the Saxo will probably have a K&N plus a big bore exhaust and a max power stick in the window so I reckon it will be running 5.3 secs to 60. The sticker alone is worth 2 seconds.

The Saxo is a lot lighter. I reckon its too close to call to 60 but after that the extra power of the Clio should come through. Would be a cracking race though - NOT!!!! Mind you I remember when I had a 1.2 16v and the 1.4 seemed like a supercar!

God I feel really sorry for you, that is terrible luck. I think it sucks that insurance companies penalise you for claiming under those circumstances as its not like it makes you a higher risk of claiming again but then I guess for all they know a person could have lost control and hit...

God the controls on this are sh*te. They are so slow and sluggish. Aiming is a joke, sticking yourself to an object for cover and then unsticking yourself when you want to run is a joke and selecting weapons in the heat of battle is a joke. I am totally stuck on the level where the building...

Hmm think they have the top speed wrong too. Inside is nice but I'm afraid its too heavy and doesn't have enough power. I'd rather buy a used CTR. Perhaps worth waiting for the Cup or Trophy versions. Personally I will be keeping my 182 and spending the £5k that 197 will lose when you...

Yeah Mcbunnys prices are what I had heard too and I'm happy to pay it. As a new Sky customer signing up for installation and a full channel package I will get priority on the limited number of HD boxes where as all you existing customers will have to wait! Anyway if you think you lot have it...

Teleworst just rang me again and it turned out they were bullsh*tting on the phone the other day. Rather than being allowed multiple boxes in the "near future" the story has now changed to "you are f*cked and will never have more than one". Apparently this is because we have three TV boxes...

Will they install a phone cable for me or is it up to me to make sure I get an extension cable and have a socket within a set distance of the TV box?

Just got my car back from the 12000 miles service although it had only done 8300 miles (had it 18 months so thought about time). Anyhow I see on the bill I have been charged for petrol treatment? Whats that all about? My front pads were worn 30% and my rears 10% and that shocked me a bit cos...

I played the demo. I have an FX53 with an X800XT and a gig of RAM yet it ran about 1 frame per second and took about half an hour just to drive down a straight!!!! Something seriously wrong there! My PC mashes Doom 3 and HL2 into a pulp and plays them flat out in max detail so Codemasters need...

Yeah we have a Telewest phone line.....better check the terms and conditions although I think my other bro is with Telewest at his house cos he gets free calls to us in the evening but he has Sky. What times of the day does the box phone home? EDIT: How much would it cost then to get Sky if I...

My brother just rang up Telewest to order the installation of our High Def boxes with the HDD in them. Only one per household according to Telewest (which my brother allocated to himself!) although you could have two in the "near future". Well Telewest told me in 1998 when I got analogue cable...

Never seen a bird driving a CTR. Seen an old lady driving a 182 but never seen a bird driving one. Old people always have hot hatches though, they usually have Golf GTI's. The salesmen just trick them into buying the top of the range model.

Yeah mine does it reversing on full lock but sometimes going forward. Not bothered at all.

Just leave it, they all judder.

I stuck a piece of innertube rubber in my engine mount (top left of engine when facing the front of the car) and it has pretty much stopped the knocking. Got my car booked in for its first service at the end of Feb and I too want to know if its worth telling them to fix it properly? I really...

Quite like this one. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4346282257052721140&q=r1

Haven't noticed that problem with mine or both my brothers machines. Personally I'd take your 5.1 sound system back to the store for a refund cos it must be sh*te if you can hear the drive above it!

Just read his original question and the details of his mileage and running costs etc. As far as I can see going from the Evo to the V6 wouldn't really solve many of his problems and he would lose money given that he admits the Evo doesn't hold its value - although given what my mate paid for...

Yeah two doors and I haven't got the words to describe how good it looks. Its just fantastic.

Just drove an Impreza P1 that my mate px'd his V6 for and frankly the V6 is a pedal car in comparison! So yeah Evo all the way. He used to go on about rarity and attention in the V6 but tonight he was sl*gging it right off!

In the Shell Garage in Downend at maybe ten past 9 on Saturday. Looks like he had his kid in the passenger seat. I think he saw me in my titanium 182 walking to and from the pumps to pay. I was also in the Impreza P1 that came past about half an hour later on the ring road when the Clio was...

LOL I've seen some funny questions in my time but this...!!!! Keep the Evo for gods sake!

I was thinking of buying used - and what you can get for RS Clio money albeit if you go for something older and Jap. Lets face it a 5 year old Jap car is probably going to be holding together as well as a 2 year old Clio for example. If you look at what 2 year old RS Clios are being advertised...

No one wants to pay much for a used Clio so the prices drop like a stone limited edition or not. I wouldn't buy any RS Clio if I was remotely interested in residuals. Add the high insurance of RS models and you have even less desirability expecially amongst younger drivers. A car with no...

I swear my TC/ESP is broken yet I have no warning light come on. I can pull out of junctions and wheel spin for miles down the road whereas before the TC would cut in and the little light used to come on. I never see it anymore and the car just seems to drive with no intervention. Is it...

Dont think that was me in the 182, I am always around emersons and downend and that particular roundabout you mention but I don't think I was there at that time. I saw someone come of Sainsburys in emersons the other day and they were in a silver 182 or 172 and looked across at me.

It did sound like it was behind the dashboard which would support the suggestion that it was air coming through the vent system and trying to get into the cabin. However I had my car in auto mode and set at 26 degrees. All my vents were in the open position. The AC and the air recirculation...

Buzzer - yes thats exactly it.

Funnily enough I have already experienced the mirror whistle and that was definitely different to this problem. By the way the mirror whistle only ever happened on one night and yes it was about 80mph. I took no action (like taping up holes) and it never came back again. Complete mystery. This...
