I'm glad you agree with me.;) I could not care less what someone does to their car or what badge is stuck to it, why should I? At the end of the day it's not my money they are spending and it's not my car they are spending it on so I've got no beef with someone doing somthing like this if...

Renaults look great in white and yours looks like it's in really nice condition. I'd be inclined to remove the fogs, I've got the original ones on mine but I've never even used them.

Why would it bother you what badge someone else has on their car, they can put a frigging ferrari one on as far as I'm concerned? makes you sound simple really.

At the end of the day we are all car enthusiasts of a sort, it's harsh to have a go at someone just because they drive a different car or have fitted a kit, christ there is even occasionally some animosity from the RS owners to those with lesser spec clio's on here just because they have fitted...

Some bad luck you are having fella. I think Sam has a point there, it'd be wize to source the parts and get some quotes for spraying and fiting them. The refit should be easy enough for you to do your self so also ask about the price just sprayed and not fitted if you are confident about...

A program called 'Switch' on the mac will make a mp3 in to most formats except for the older retro Amiga, C64 etc and vice versa, it's great and it's freeware. In itunes, and you'll have to forgive me as I dont have any wma files to check but if you highlight the track in itunes go to Advanced...

I'm gonna rant now!! Coming from Atari St's to Amigas the Mac was my next port of call. If you are using your computer for design work I'd go for a mac every time, almost every company I deal with use em, every one of them rates them as the best. If you just want a home computer I would...

Good topic!! I've often wonderd this too. I think with the increase in tax etc the future is small lightweight cars with small turbocharged engines that are geared to be quick up to 60 and very economical.

Or a micra would be a good start, as suggested above.

I suggest a ford Ka. Cheap insurance (grp 3) No cambelt to change (ohv) 45+ mpg and they have bags of character, good fun to drive and they handle well. If you do go for one here's my tips, having a missus thats owned two of em: Check for noise from the power steering rack or a drop in p/s...

Very true, once the car is up to temp then it'll like the colder weather, your compression ratio is higher because of the denser air. My MX5 used to be like this especially on dry frosty mornings. I think you notice it even more when you use the car regulary, I dont tend to do much mileage...

My friends have owned a couple of cars which spit flames with no mods done to encorage this. One of em had a vw camper with a porsche engine and that used to spit flames for about 3 seconds. My old triumph used to spit flames occasionally. Another mates capri 2.8 spat flames and lit the...

I've got the same wheels, and I've been debating what to do for a while. They do look good all in silver but I was thinking of 15" pro race 1.2's in black for mine or a set of 172 oz f1's. What sort of Borbet's are you going for?

Yeah, whats going on here?!! I've got a 2001 1.6 16v RSi and I'm paying £150 per year. Are the government taking the piss? Mines just passed the mot with a CO reading at fast idle of 0.002 out of an allowed 0.200!!!!!!

Elises go pop too. An old mate of mine bought an Elise, 2 weeks later it went pop! Took it back and pop again after 6 months. However the K-series is a good engine and has won awards but is proove to this, the 130mph record holding metro in the link below shows an example of it's standard of...

I think it depends on the dealers insurance and the salesman you are dealing with. When I was 18 I used work in a jag dealership and had to drive Jag XKRS's, XJRS (v12 supercharged) and limited production TWR twin turbo converted XJ saloons, some of them were in excess of 600bhp. Basicly it's...

He's just 'sore' because he wont ever own a car like yours (or because he's been taken up the tradesmans for a bag of wacky-backy)

f**k me, they've gone and made it wider???!!!

The uno was stripped out. I really like the uno turbo's, a security guard had a mint one at my uni and I'd chat to him about it, I was impressed with it tbh. They are fantastic cars but it's difficult to get a rust free and unthrashed example, similar to the R5gtt's these days. Given a...

Cheapo Tax too and I bet it does about 50mpg even when pushed!! Awsome!! I thought the days of small quick cars were gone, the clio's a proper lard arse now, would be good to see.

A Damn shame and a waste of a young mans life. I only hope that some good will come of this story by persuading any kids that read it to show their respect by driving carefully in the future.

I usually give other clio owners a nod (if they look like cs'ers ie not old women) never had one back tho! It comes from my days of MX5 ownership where virtually everyone waved / flash lights etc.

It aint a waste of money if he enjoys doing these mods, it would be a waste of money if he did all that work and came one here saying he regretted doing it. It's horses for corses; I can imagine the ferrari, lamborgini and mclaren owners having a laugh about people who get excited about a...

You're spot on there Neil. Look at the amount of owners clubs for obscure cars like austin allegros etc, someone somewhere loves em! So tbh it doent matter what the car is; standard / modded or what ever, so long as it makes you happy.

I wouldn't worry Harry. You obviously used to do many miles in your 1.4 and I'm guesing alot of them were for pleasure, right? Well I guess you just became so used to that car it seems alien driving the 172 now. Part of this is because you prob used to drive the 1.4 on the limit of it's...

Man I loved Greece, when I went out there I stayed near Kassiopi in Corfu. Somewhere around the area there is an abandoned village up on the mountain and the roads up to it were nuts, proper rally style dust tracks. There is a Taverna tucked up there too and the food was some of the best I've...

Sounds like you're already happy with it dude.

They look fine if they are new you havent got to worry. If they look rusty and have pitting where the rust has eaten into the metal (on old disks) an mot tester may pick up on it.

Things you can do: Check all your bulbs, horn, wipers function well, check your tyres. They will do a brake test and emissions test. If you're car sits for long periods of time readings may be slighly higher and if it has a de-cat you are looking at a fail. If you are interested I can post...

Hello, The best thing you can clean your dash with is a small nail brush (not too hard) for the textured plastics, a soft wet cloth for smooth plastics and some warm water with a small amount of eco washing up liquid. Naturally hoover first;- The liquid will de-grease the plastics while...
