Presumably it's air suspension? Like the fact that it's a dci too - pimp my diesel!

You'll have to come next time we have a Banbury meet. I think Tranny B (aka Baggins) wants to organise another drive/breakfast thing once the weather improves.

Doh! I had a quick look but didn't see it :S

http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/218709/alfa_romeo_mito.html Based on the paltform of the Grande Punto - not an amazing car, but not too bad either, and it should help keep costs down. I know it won't come on alloys that big, or be so low, but it's still a looker.

Yeah, I never really liked it - looked a bit chavvy to my eyes (sorry!).

Yep, thought it might be you, but it didn't look like the grill you've got on yours (or used to have).

Saw you this morning, sorry wasn't really thinking to give you a wave.

Thought so. I'm in Wroxton, so used to see you parked up now and then.

Don't think it was you. He gave me a wave when I was behind at the South Bar/Bloxham Road junction. You didn't used to live in Drayton did you?

Who was this? Haven't seen you before..

I think it's pretty good to have the choice - you can have the same sort of car in retro spec, mid spec, or comfort spec, and at a variety of price points ;)

Anyone seen any of the Geneva coverage? Not too sure about the Megane coupe, but the Scirocco and the Ibiza concept look pretty tasty! http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/news/autoexpressnews/218028/geneva_motor_show.html

Bored of the mk3 ones already? :eek:

Mine was £800.00 at Rentech :dapprove: (including major service) Did include new front pads though. Much better than going to Renault though!

Yep, plastic front wings. I freaked out a couple of weeks after getting mine - saw it under a streetlight and they looked a bit mismatched. There all like that though.

Most points card things are pretty poor. If you always fill up with V Power anyway you might as well do it though. I think they sometimes do other promotions and things for cardholders too?

Think it should happen in all of them - it's part of the NCAP ratings thingy.

Not joking - wiper stalk buttons are the way forward for confusing people who've not had a Renault ;) Do we assume your problem is now solved?

This might be a stupid question, but you are presing the button on the end of the wiper stalk? Not the one actually in the dash itself?

Your camera has to be able to 'see' infrared anyway. The lens just cuts out everything but IR, so you end up with an IR image (I think).

Personally I wouldn't recommend a canvas for photos. It's all a bit 'trendy' - they look much better on photo paper and then well framed.

Nimbus 197 on Middleton Road, Saturday, about 12.30. Couple of Megane 225's (I think), in Tescos at lunchtime today. 1 was on French plates?

The Clio used to advetised by a slightly oversexed Father/Daughter combo. Bloody French...

There was an 80's Transformer that looked a bit like a Clio van thingy. I think.

197 is more modern - you're (theoretically) less likely to lose a leg/arm/major motor function in a car with better safety features. I think it's injury payouts that cost more than fixing cars.

0.3-0.4 seconds is easy to gain/lose depending on road conditions, gearchange time, tyres, etc.

At the cash point by the taxi rank, about 7.25ish?

I think ram air works on a similar basis to underfloor aerodynamics (bear with me here) - The air coming in chanelled into a smalled space as it comes in, which speeds up the air flow, which then sucks even more air in. Forced induction is when you have a spinning impellor/propellor that is...
