    Clio Trophy STOLEN

    good luck finding my keys if you break in, I struggle myself most of the time. Wife thinks I'm losing it I'm sure she keep moving them around the house just to wind me up. As for the OP must be absolutely gutting to have a car for 9 or so years from new then for some low life to steal it.

    Car has been rear ended - situation not so straightforward - thoughts please

    Agreed, I bet his fine will be less than the increase in your premium (even though it's a non fault claim). Hopefully Herz give him a spanking.

    Drive out to Buttertubs.

    I've always wanted to do this road but it's in the middle of nowhere and goes nowhere. I said I do it while my wife had her Abarth 500 but we got rid of that in March. I need a job/meeting round there so I can take a detour to do it. Was there much traffic I can't imagine there being anyone around.

    Demon Snow Foam

    it doesn't shift the dirt like the previous foam I've used (my other foam wasn't too expensive either), how have you been applying it. Let me know and I'll try your method and see how I get on.

    Funniest Thing You Have Been Told By A Dealer...

    Thought I'd add to this old thread. A friend recently bought a brand new Renault van. He's noticed that on the motorways it pulls slightly to the left. So he took it back and their tech guy took it out and his reply was "because it's a French car the geometry is set up to suit the camber on...

    High Mileage Club - 100K plus.

    my 2004 320d has 179,600 on it. I'll be keeping it until next summer so will probably see nearly 190,000 before I get shut.

    A E46 DIEsel estate and an Abarth 500. Looking for An E46 M3 and a Morris minor (or beetle convertible) next. The Abarth wasn't as quick as the 172 but a tuning box helped.

    BMW M3 CSL Wrapping

    looked at this on my phone earlier and I must say the blue looks better when viewed on my laptop....I wouldn't say it looks better than a silver grey CSL - just different. A CSL in disguise you could say (apart from the obvious bits).

    Best way to mark tyres?

    are your summer tyres staying on those wheels, do you have two set of wheels or are the tyres being swapped over on the same set of wheels. I have two sets of wheels and have wrote FP, FD, RP, RD on the inside face of my wheels in a discreet place. Done this on both sets in marker pen.

    The New Phone Thread

    my son (17 year old) is after buying a Samsung S5. After having a look on line he's found that Giff gaff sell them for £465, plus you have to buy one of their goody bag bundles from £7.50. I can't see it anywhere near this price elsewhere, is there a catch?

    VERY long distance drive - checks?

    I did 900 miles last weekend and all I did was refuel when needed. Seriously as Daniel says service it when needed, and then just check fluid levels and tyre pressures before you go.

    CLIO IV RS - Trophy from page 111

    I still haven't seen (or noticed one) one on the road. I was in the local Renault dealership last week with a friend and asked the sales guy how sales of the cliosport were going. His reply was "they are flying out of the showroom, they are selling really well". He also told us that the car we...
