This is often the case. Hence why I drive my twin turbo hearse.

How come there's a picture of an American thing under the caption "proper one"?

I'd expect nothing less when you compare a 6 year old car with a 12 year old one. the Audi takes it for me though, those arches!

4K in a year on maintenance isn't actually that much in the grand scheme of things. I've probably spent between 2 and three thousand in the last year so for an Aston that's not a huge jump to make!

All you need to do is copy and paste from the "Renault UK" Facebook page.

22mpg sounds pretty bad, but in reality if you aren't using the car much, it's quite manageable. it costs me maybe a pound extra in fuel to do the journey to the girlfriends as opposed to doing it in the Clio. Estates really are the way forwards, not sure I could live with a hatchback these days.

It seems money can't buy you lane discipline.

Saw a BAC Mono coming towards me last week. I knew what it was, but couldn't remember what it was called. looked awesome though.

This smells fishier than the docks on a Friday afternoon.

Saw this pop up on Facebook the other day. Would have been an awesome car, and a much better option than the 3.2 The 2.7T is an awesome engine, torquey as you like and smooth as anything.

Terribly sorry, I can't hear you over the 4 young ladies and the two dogs I have in the back.

Cheeky f*cker ;) You're just jealous cus I've got two turbos!

At least the parts are available in the first place. There's one company of note that supplies parts for mine. Anything specific tends to be dealer only unless you stumble across some one breaking one.

To be honest, I've never had a problem with yellow stuff either. Only reason I tried DS3000s was because they were different. I've even got some £30 mintex pads in the Audi and they're fine as well. Really have to question what some people are doing to these brake pads on the road to kill them.

Ferodo DS3000s and brembo HC disks.

That'll be Ben

I tried putting my sisters fiesta in 6th the other day. It didn't like it.

I got fed up of the clio constantly costing 200-300 every month just in repairs. Many people thought I was mad to get an S4 as the "reliable" alternative, but I live a s**t load more comfortably only having to shell out on the car every other month.

What went wrong with the S4? mines still going strong aside from a few niggles. Nothing engine related yet!

The tracking centre should have a few clamps to hold the steering wheel and brake pedal when doing the tracking. Otherwise you end up with it off centre. My guess is they couldn't be arsed.

f***s sake, I put something helpful. I'm slipping.

Apparently they're the ones to go for on the Audi, I've seen mine has Bosch in at the minute, but I'm firmly in the "not broke don't fix it" mind set.

The bumper is new paint, without swirling and marring. The old paint is covered in scratches making it look different.

Whats the difference between 172s and 172's? No one care's about apostrophes surely?

Everything since the 197 has been piss poor. Renault as a company failed a long time ago. Does anyone realise just how much money they lose per year? Massively subsidised by the French government.

I guarantee I could do it quicker and take the bumper off.

It is possible to change bulbs with the bumper on. When I was still a teenager I hadn't the faintest idea how to get the front bumper off, so I had to make do. these days I'd find it much easier to just take the bumper off and pop the headlights out, but only because I've done it so many times.

God knows who you are but if the lad behind you in the micra wasn't your mate you have the patience of a saint. Also... I got bored waiting up slack hill

You'll struggle to find the throttle cable, so I'll go with sticky throttle body. try taking it off and cleaning all the oil and crap off it

I see what you did there!
