My first attempt at some night time pics (taken from the front garden, too cold to go far tonight!), will better these over the weekend at the local industrial estate, but thought I would share my first efforts...

Been looking round for a sub-£2k Valver and to be honest…not got a clue what I’m doing at the moment as I’m not to sure on the history of them. Some questions if you don’t mind. 1) When were they built from-to? Any major differences or revisions depending on the year? 2) I’ve noticed many...

White Horse Business Park in Trowbridge this afternoon about 1:30, driving along in my own merry way and then some loon on the side of the road starts waving frantically at me (thought it was Omar at first!). I realise he is stood next to a 172/182 (think it was a Cup, could have been an Arctic...

The Cup is going soon, that much is absolutely certain (doesn't make it any easier though, almost brings me to tears thinking about it!) so I'm thinking about whats next. Budget for the new motor is £2k with insurance absolute tops, I'm 23 with 5 years no claims (paying about £600 on the Cup) so...

Been meaning to go down to Cheddar at some point, then today I wake up at 6am and can't get back to sleep. So off I go for a 100 mile trip into deepest darkest Somerset. Apologies for the pic quality, the fog was only just starting to lift so they are a little hazy...

120 mile round trip to the South Coast this morning, never got a chance to get out much over Christmas when its dead quiet in the morning, so thought I better use my last day wisely... stunning weather too... and an odd thing on the beach... More here...

The DS can hold 60 of these so plenty of space after the friends have all been added! Anyone playing online? If so mine is 085961 488157

Wow, a year of playing my DS and I didn't think it could get any better. But, I buy my missus one for Christmas and the wireless link up is absolutely genius, so so easy to set up (even though I have a US DS and she has a UK one, and even the games from different territories don't kick up a...

Today my so far faultless 172 Cup (two years old tomorrow) developed a really loud banging noise when accelerating or decelarating at low speeds (30 and under generally), anything above that is fine which I thought was odd, I took it up past 5000rpm and there were no problems at all, only ever...

Hehe, dirty weekend... Had nothing but trouble with the bloody MG, £1500 of warranty work done on 4000 miles to replace just about everything in the engine bay (just before they folded, thankfully) and then recently the electrics packed up which no one could figure out, then two weeks...

As title really, I want DVD-R, DVD+R, and not fussed after that. Don't want hard drive or anything, just a standard recorder. Any suggestions? Hard to choose with so much out there. Cheers, Chris.

Classy stuff, £89.99 from K-Tec, apparently they don't offer a guarantee on it as it "may not survive a mild-Winter" Here is the model car...

Trophy followed me to work yesterday, looks stunning. All the way through Westbury then into Trowbridge, think the plate was XX05 WRC.

Not 100% sure on this so any advice would be great. Basically, whats the general rule for declaring things on insurance. For example, I've just bought a strut-brace, do I need to declare this and pay up for a "mod"? If so, where do you draw the line? Are direct-replacement parts (i.e...

Couldn't believe this, had a day off to do the non-online Christmas shopping (now done, way quicker than I expected) and one thing I needed to get was a DS, didn't order online as it wasn't any cheaper. Bloody sold out! Gamestation were out, Game, WHSmiths, Woolworths, the local indie etc. I...

Simple one really, whats the best way to go about painting a strut-brace ( currently red) a nice mondial-blue colour - or thereabouts, I'm assuming it will need a few undercoats of something. Could get expensive if I get some actual mondial-blue from Renault, any good subsitutes out there?

and I didn't realise how close this car got whilst I was in the middle of the road..! I noticed someone taking a shot of mine (S25 CUP) and Omar's in the car park, anyone got it? I never got round to getting any individual car park shots. As always full size pics are available, just PM me.

Got about £300 (£400 at a push) to spend on the Cup, whats the best thing to go for? Everything is currently completely standard apart from an ITG panel filter and all bulbs changed. Hillpower Induction kit is in my thoughts at the moment as apparently thats around £300. Coilovers are out of...

Blimey, in another thread a few days back I moaned that we never get any snow here in Wiltshire after seeing all the pics of snow covered Clio's etc. Well, I looked out the window tonight and shock fell upon me...how would I get home? You wait years for a bit of snow and then it all comes at...

Ok not technically correct, but it was cheaper than coilovers! and whilst I'm at it a few other pics that I may or may not have posted in the past, trying to make a stock 172 Cup look interesting!

Never seen anything quite like this and I've been in some bad conditions before, here is S25 CUP from about 3 metres away...behind it (literally next to the back wheel) is a bright street light which you can just make out. I did a quick visability check, walked backwards from my car until...

I'm taking it very easy over winter after hearing so many stories about 172 Cup disasters, but today I was involved in a situation that now thinking back I wonder what the hell I should of actually done. On a slightly curved 40mph road doing about 30 (told you I was being careful!) as the...

Can anyone recommend any sites/companies to use for stickering up your Car? Logos, text, custom stuff etc for windows and bodywork, and more specifically the rally/race surname bit with country flag for the passenger window. Not something I'm planning to do for general road use you will be...

Having a hard time deciding if I should put some flaps on the Cup to save it a bit from the winter harshness, Cliosport general consensus seems to say no, but I will reserve judgement until I see some. So, pics please (and where you got the/how much)! Any Clio is fine but seeing a 172 Cup...

Had a good pre-winter clean of my Cup on Saturday and noticed that the area behind the front wheels was quite messed up (nothing I couldn't clean and polish out thankfully), is it best to bung some flaps on there for the winter months? Can't say I'm generally a fan of them but anything to...

You don't see one for ages and then it all goes mad...! 172 Cup driving through Trowbridge yesterday afternoon, flashed me and waved which I happily responded to. Then a few minutes later a Monaco blue (extremely dirty) 172 parked at Currys, which I then saw again in Tesco car park about...

http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=61490 Dribble. Literally the best gaming news I've seen since the good old days before that damn Playstation wiped out the Dreamcast and ruined entertaining gaming for years. It even looks like Sensi Soccer! If there is any justice in the world...

Have deliveries started of the new Clio or was last weekend just when the order book opened? I spotted my first on the road today in Trowbridge, was black and I have to say on the road it looked very nice (better than the stationary one at RWS), I was never sure but now I think a RenaultSport...

Completely forgot I even took these, had intended on taking loads but got into the whole driving thing too much! Not many but here goes... Insanely big (downloadable) original files available on request as always...

The answer seems obvious to this one, is it better (in performance terms) to have a full load of fuel, half, or virtually empty? I ask because I've had mine down to a minimum a few times lately and especially at high speeds the car (172 Cup) feels less assured than it does with a load of fuel...
