Green Mk1 172 on the Avon Ring Road then going into the Shell Garage on Badminton Road. Driver had his missus in the passenger seat then headed off in the direction of Bromley Heath.

Mk1 or Mk2? If its the former then definitely don't bother as the step up in car isn't as big as the step up in costs/impracticality. If its the latter then I dunno as I haven't driven one.

Nearly did over the High Def thing but when threatened with a cancellation TW caved in and said we could have more than one HD box. Got it now and its wicked plus a lot cheaper than Sky for us with three boxes and broadband sharing the bills with all channels. Threaten to cancel and you will...

Mate of mine has a 1.2 16v and the engine management light keeps coming on and putting the car into get you home mode. It often resets on its own if he turns it off and on again. Its been doing it since new and the car is now out of warranty. Typical Renault it has been in loads of times under...

In fairness though he could pay £3000 to have it insured in his name, drive carefully for a year and then have some c*ck vandalise his car or do a hit and run and still not get any no claims bonus! It'll probably get written off in the winter along with all the Cups!

This morning at about 7:20 a Racing Blue 182 with white stripes stuck in the queue on the 2+ lane of the Ring Road at Downend. Personalised plate. Think maybe it was "B" then a single number.

This is bad news that it has been found, lets just hope its a write-off as you won't want that back after it has been abused.

The demo was a bit jerky. I found the Xbox Moto GP games were too arcade like for my tastes. It was all about flying around at stupid speeds like in Wipeout or something and seeing who crashed the least! The expert players end up riding with stupid set-ups that let them go round corners like...

Saw a black RS Clio dunno if it was a 172 or 182 but it had aftermarket black alloys with quite thin spokes on it. Pulling out of Cadbury Heath Road onto Tower Road by the Spar shop at about quarter past 7 this morning. I went past on my bike whilst you were waiting to pull out.

LCD everytime.

Its got my 182 on my drive and I got it Sept 04. Pics were taken in the summer judging by the trees so assume it must have been taken last year? Edit: I can tell it was July/August 2005 because it has the patio stones I put down for my motorbike which were only visible for a month before I put...

02 are weird. They wanted £90 to upgrade to a W810i. So I said I would cancel and get the 12 month 500 texts 100 minute tariff with the W810i for £25 a month. So they said (gets complicated now) put me on a £10 a month tariff with 100 mins and 100 texts. Then give me 300 free texts a...

I have a K750i and want a K800 but have gone for the W810i for now. I got the K750i when it first came out and the firmware was the biggest load of sh*te going. It took them 9 months to release a decent version with some of the previous updates actually making it worse. The build quality was...

How long is this add-on? Hopefully a lot longer than the last one which was over in ten mins.

I've got the S2 licence and used to play with a pad. Rock hard game, tried a momo wheel and pedals and found that even worse. Dunno what it was but in all the online races there were kind of two leagues of drivers. You had the casual racers and I could kind of be the fastest out of that group...

My brother is 21 and has had his last two new cars (Yaris and Corolla) registered in my mums name. He is a very slow safe driver (drives like a girl) but had to do this as the insurance penalises him for being a young male so he has to insure it in my mums name (she doesn't drive at all). He...

Pot luck at the end of the day. It will be flawless or it will be going back in every five minutes. The problem are the dealers more so than the cars. I honestly believe they are the most incompetent w*nkers going. They are not fit to play with a lego set let alone work on cars. Half the...

They will be serious money. You are better off getting a cheap one now and then upgrading to a higher resolution screen in few years when the price has come down and when you might actually have some content to play on it. At the moment I just have Xbox 360 which is 720p and Telewest TV Drive...

I turned off the dynamic contrast and brightness on my Samsung as it was annoying and have not had any problems since. I used to have a 25ms Dell monitor and that had screen blur when playing PC games. I assume the Samsung TV is more like 12ms as PC and 360 games show no bluring.

I have the Samsung LE26R41 and it is so good that both of my brothers have bought one so we have three in total! We use them in high def with the Xbox 360 and for HD TV with the Telewest TV Drive service. We also have them connected to our PC's. They work perfectly.

I had my car for 15 months before it started doing it. I had been over a ton loads of times with no problems. Then it just started earlier this year and still does it now. Comes in at just under 100 and it ain't from the mirror - its coming from like the centre of the dash/bottom of the...

I've only ever done that back in the winter when they were using that salt with mollasses in it. Coming off a damp roundabout in third at only 2000rpm and it was wheelspinning massively and the TC/ESP was doing nothing about it. Not a chance in the dry though, even in 1st but thats petrol for...

Yeah first time I've had a proper chance to open her up since running it in. My legs felt weak and my arms were shaking when I got home though as it scared the s**t out of me. I reckon it does 80 to 140 quicker than my 182 does 0-60. It only has a standard exhaust but what did it sound like?

Hooray in 2 years thats my first successful spot of a CS member!!!! Obviously I couldn't wave as not being in my car you would have thought I was being a n0b or something!!!!

This Saturday evening I was on the Avon Ring Road at Longwell Green around 7pm and saw a black 172 with what looked like anthracite or darker 182 alloys. It was hard to tell exactly what wheels they were as the car didn't come to a stop but I was confused when I didn't see two exhausts on the...

Yeah I was behind an MR2 Turbo that tried leaving me behind and it wasn't pulling away that fast at all. It was from a rolling start off a roundabout at 30 so he didn't get any advantage from the RWD and to be honest he didn't really gain much to 80 (two car lengths) and after that he was...

Re: some ppl are c**ks! Personally I haven't noticed the difference with Xenons. If anything it is more dangerous as people dazzle you deliberately because they think you have high beam on. Also if cars coming towards you are blinded you are obviously at more risk of collision. So yeah I...

I think this is really bad for Sony. I have seen more screenshots and more video's and it ain't looking good. Have any of you been on any games forums? Last week all the PS3 fanboys were getting ready to give 360 owners a hammering but the silence now is deafening. In fact it has been a roll...

Well it looks like I am vindicated. I said the screenshots and videos released last summer were either doctored or fakes and I was right. Dunno what the fanboys are thinking now. This was supposed to blow away the 360 and PC's yet its just more of the same. Can't believe I was looking...

Well then they can go and make a "mistake" on their own with a big tree or other solid object and I hope it hurts. But when I am heading towards them they can look once, twice and then a third time before pushing the pedal. I am not dying because some waste of space on a pointless journey on...
