Had Eibach Sportlines and Greenstuff pads put on yesterday at Carlton Garage in Exmouth as well as my 24k service (top work, will be going back for every service from now on) Not a fan of the slammed look personally but I wanted a subtle drop to tidy up the lines a bit, and was interested in...

http://www.topgear.com/clio197 Nothing there just yet but it goes live today apparently, so worth keeping an eye on it. They love the new Clio and have hinted that the 197 is a bit special so hopefully it should be a promising review.

Track Gallery Well pleased with my zoom for these, it didn't look promising at first as the spectator areas were pretty awful, came out ok though. Field Gallery and a few pre-show pics of S25 when I was sat at Cribbs Causeway 40...

Got so much stuff on my windows at the moment, just to get in various places! Waited until about 6pm to clean the car today (I didn't think the rain would ever stop) and within 30 minutes dark cloud had reappeared, so only a real quick clean and no chance to do the interior at all, bit gutted...

Omar had a new Polo GTi for a few hours today so we took that and my 172 Cup out for a few tests. A few pics below and more here, detailed shots of the Polo will be added later. Results are on page 3 of this thread. and after some initial fears regarding the...

I've just discovered the Trophy doesn't use a rain sensitive panel on the windscreen, and with the addition of an adjustable stalk found on most Clio's, you essentially have a good old proper time-adjustable intermittent wiper. Even the bloody Cup has it, they strip most things out and leave the...

Everyone else seems to be doing this today, now its my turn... New Eibach Sportlines and EBC Greenstuff pads. Arrived a while ago but never got round to actually unpacking it until recently.

Roads are pretty much flooding here so I'm bored as hell stuck indoors, thought I'd pop out and get a few shots during a short break in the rain... Mondial shows up nice... and some overexposed B&W shots...

The ever helpful Microsoft point you towards the Nero Fast CD-Burning Plug-In when trying to burn a CD without the 2 second gap between tracks, yet it doesn't actually work in WMP10 (despite using the WMP10 help pages to get this information!) Any other plug-ins that can be used to eliminate...

Is there a safe way of doing this without washing the car? I clean it one day and within 12 hours its covered, doesn't help that I commute along b-roads surrounded by fields I guess. The rest of the car is perfect so no need to clean it fully. Wondering for FCS as well really, how to...

Had a small South Wales meet today and after I took the opportunity to have a quick look round the Brecon Beacons, what a place! Certainly some potential for good meets in the area, lots of places to get photos and some amazing roads, and I'm sure there are many more members in that area who...

S25 CUP has been part of the Harrison family for one year now, so I thought I'd share some highlights! The first pic, lacking a splitter and new bulbs, and having covered 8,400 miles... As it is now, carbon splitter, Osram's all round, ITG panel filter and Justmatz, having covered 22,250...

My Cup renewal is up very shortly so that will be £600 or so out the window, however I may have a new car in anywhere between a fortnight and a month or so. So I could literally be changing the policy within days of renewing. How does this work? Do I just contact the insurers and get the car...

Had a great morning today, headed off at 8:30 to the Haynes Motor Museum, had a good look round, took some photos, watched some VW Vans on the circuit (looked like a lot of fun!) then headed home again and cleaned the car... The world famous Red Room...

Around 7pm this evening near my house in Westbury, pass a young lady driving a Silver Cup, looking very nice (the car, of course) What is it with these silver ones? 1 in every 4 Cups I see is Silver, I thought there were only 100 or so of the damn things!

Top Gear have a feature on the 197 this month. Not sure if its news but apparently Recaro race seats will be an option, not 182 Trendline's, but full-on single piece glass fibre efforts. Seems a little extreme, I remember the initial 172 Cup brochure had stuff about uprated brakes, roll-cages...

Anyone else see this? Sunday Times put surveillance on the new £2.42 Ultimate 102 stuff, the only guy in a day to use it was a Willy owner! Got a nice big pic of him sat in his car.

Went for a drive after giving S25 its weekly clean today, unfortunately it started raining so my ideas for countryside pics suffered a set-back. Decided to get some standard shots and have a little play with some Photoshop filters etc instead, pretty pleased with the results...

A first for me, never seen a Red Ph1 172 before, looked stunning. Is it a rare colour? Anyhows, Bradley Road around 5pm.

Here you go, all Airfield pics split by car...a couple more to be added tomorrow from my final memory card but all cars are covered by at least 4 pics at the moment iirc. General Pics MarkCup Nik Ben J Danlp6 Edde arj256 Day Omar BMW Rob669...

ClioSporter's all over the place at Castle Combe today, got 3 of them together for an impromptu photo shoot, Rich was too busy with his Pug friends :)

Excellent turnout today for the Perfomance Track Day, loads of Clio's on track and parked in the various car parks... Loads more pics to be found here. And some other machinery... Big crowds as always, some heroic (and mad)...

Discovered this site today, http://www.dyno-plot.co.uk, not seen it mentioned here. Pretty interesting read if you have time to kill. Added my Clio atw figures onto it, nice to see I'm not the least powerful car on there but I'm not far off!

Only had 1hr 1/2 spare this weekend so until this evening I was driving round in a reasonably dirty car compared to most people...everyone else in the country seemed to have got the hose or buckets out. Anyway, I got started this evening and managed to finish just before the sun disappeared...

Inferno 182 with Recaros, 3 172 Cups, various 172 and 182s in different colours, and a Silver Mk2 V6 (never see the Mk2 in Silver) Fantastic day, one of the best I've been to and thats saying something at Combe, Saloon Car Championship grid was stunning.

Anyone got close up pics of the Sparco flaps fitted to a 172/182, or any advice on how to fit them? Looks like a wheel off job to get it done properly, but can't really figure out what to attach them with and then what to attach them to! Any help appreciated.

Another different one around here (could be the one that sold at Platinum recently), Monaco 172 passing me near Paxcroft Mead around 1:30pm today, looked stunning and very shiny. Looked to be a 20 something male driver. Gave me a long look but I didn't get a chance to wave.

Got my Tax thing from the DVLA today, expecting to see the new £104.50/£190 amount on it but its still got the old £90.75/£165 printed on mine. When do the new prices come into affect? According to the DVLA its 23/03/06. Anyone else got their bill?

Anyone got this combo? Interested to see how low the car ends up once settled.

Lovely silver MK1 Silver 172 in an insanely busy Tesco car park in Trowbridge at midday today, and a Silver Cup being towed by the AA through Trowbridge too...hope its not too serious!
