Lots of Top Gear videos if your bored.
Watched one about the F150 lighting, I dont remember seeing this, was it on the American one only?
Does anyone want to add the 2 Clio ones.

They seem to download really quick on google video...
This video impressed me quite a lot, not a hot hatch, but a bmw 330CD.

I would hazard a quess at saying, if deisels didnt make the noise they did, we would all have one, I know I would.
The Cooper S (170bhp version) has 150 BHP per tonne but has 220NM of torque
The Clio (172 non cup) has 166 BHP per tonne but only has 200NM of torque.
Not much between them.
The earlyer Cooper S had 163 BHP
On a different note I much prefer the Coopers Whine to the Clios quite gritty noise...
Also depending on how much he can stretch to, all the Alfa 156s are quick and low insurance, the 1.6 is smallest and still does 0-60 in 10 you can pick them up £2.5k upwards.
Elephant. As hes a bit older surly his insurance should be much less than at 17.
Im 6,4 with long legs and fit in the mk1 fine enough. Sure my head would scrape the roof if I sat bolt upright, but you never do when driving. Believe it or not pushing the seat forwards a bit can often be the...
They still look quite good imo, looking a bit boxy now, but there will come a day not too far away when suddenly they are way out of date. A bit like how we see the R5 now.
I know its been said many times before, but
When quoting with elephant put your parents in as other drivers and it nearly always brings the price down.
They seem good enough for claiming, my mates in a middle of one at the moment. Seem the best for prices to me.
Im 20 with 2 NCB, I have...
Genrally mods wont put the price up, may even go down, I certainly know I avoid buying cars with non factory alloys ect as it can often mean its lead a "colourfull" lifestyle.
I should think you could probably get a little more though. Try a grand and a bit.
This site is good enough for hosting files, better off sending it to someone if there is someone to host.

Just saw this video and wondered do both cars look genuine speeds, ie cup going slow or 325 moddedd. The 325 by all rights should be slower than the cup but the vid says other wise??

Any videos...
Hmm ive just started to have a simalar problem on my car. It always starts first time in the morning, but sometimes after running it takes 2 or 3 cranks. It always used to start first time whatever, but thats age I quess. Its only on 50k though
On of my mates has had the poineer with sat nav, and one has tom tom. I can confirm that the tom tom if far better as a sat nav unit. More features, better display, and better logic.
The poineer once took my friend all the way to bristol in order to go from newquay to east grinstead (just...
My mate was trying to sell his auto aucustics stealth shelf with infinity 6x9s, mint con. Tell me if you are intrested and I will tell him about this thread.
Fill in a Top Gear Survey, its one of the few ways the public can actually stick it to the manufactures and make them realise things like this are not acceptable. I think renaults were nearly all in the bottom 10 last year. The clio was in about 70th (out of 142) if IRC.
Im 20, and should be getting a 90s shape 328i Sport in December, im still looking at other cars, but nothing provides the same sort of power or luxury for the same price, £1400 insurance for a 2.8L
Did anyone see the Jag crash on the supercar run, I was right by the corner and he seemed to be doing a fair whack as he went in, pretty scary when just hay bails but they seemed to do the job. It was right under a camera so would love to see how he managed it.
As mensioned in a thread below I have broken my key plip reciever in the car. Can someone tell me how much this will cost to replace? Is it just a reciever or must it be matched to the key, which I quess costs a lot. Mk1 ph3 Clio
Radar detectors are being made illegal. Laser ones are still ok though. My snooper uses Laser detectors to find mobile vans and policemen with the handheld ones. I think radar detectors let you know if a camera is live or not, and if the police are in a car whether they are looking at you. Thats...
I did this in the storm today at goodwood waiting to get out which took forever, as it was still well hot and I didnt want to get the rain in through the window. For some reason all the water pooled inside the roof and got in the electrics for the key ir, which now doesnt work, meaning the...
Came accross this today, well cool, in car vid with a little screen showing you the driver too. Its an M3 GTR 24 hour racer, sounds the b****cks and proper quick. Just right click "save target as" on the Stuck at Nurburgring one. I didnt want to direct link cos thats rude...
