    Blue 182 White Lion Retail, Dunstable

    Had a cliosport.net sticker. Sorry about the swerve; discovered I can't drive at 70, brake round a bend and try to nod hello all at the same time :-/ Steve

    knobbly bit on drivers side door mirror

    What in God's name is that little knobbly drip shaped thing on the underneath of the passenger side door mirror (Mk2)?! An why hasn't the other mirror got one?! S.

    172 / puma 1.4 comparison

    Just had a quick blat around in my mum's 1.4 puma! (I have a 172). Quite an eye opener! Obviously it has no grunt whatsoever compared to the 172, but other than that it was fantastic! You sit lower, the steering is razor sharp and the gearbox/change is an absolute peach - soo snickety and short...

    Any discernable difference between 172 and 182 power?

    So is there any discernable difference between 172 and 182 power? Anyone confident they could sit (metaphorically) blindfold in either car and be able to tell the difference in delivery? I have a 172 and always rue those 10 missing horses.... S.

    Saturday Clay Day

    Clayed me mum's Puma today. Only trouble was it was so hot that when I sprayed on the detailer it was instantly turning to steam! Eek! Got there in the end though (5 hours). If that's the Quik Detailer, I'd hate to see the slow one! Washed with Zip wax (that stuff is crappy - megs next time)...

    How many BHP does air conditioning effectively use up?

    Read tonight in EVO that in a Ferrari they reckoned on a rolling road, having air conditioning on used up about 3bhp. When I have mine on in my Clio 172, it feels like a damn sight more, after a while of driving with it on, turning it of the car feels mental - hugely more spritely! If thats the...

    Speed Limiter Inaccurate up and down hills

    Only noticed tonight as I was passing a speed camera tonight on a very steep uphill. Popped on my speed limiter (I'm not talking rev limiter here), dialed it to 30mph, but according to my speedo I was actually doing about 22mph. Tried it on the way back (downhill) and sure enough my computer...

    Sainsbury's Petrol Dunstable

    Blue (presumably) 172 with large 172 decal on side, along with quite a few other powerful cars in alongside. Any here own or know of it? I was the silver 172 with anthracite wheels that passed through... S.

    Weight of a full tank of fuel...

    Measured a jug of water tonight - 1 litre is equivalent to about 2lbs. Using extremely rough calculations I reckon a full tank must be the equivalent of around 6.5 stones! Quite an eye opener eh? So presumably filling up to full with a premium fuel will only give the kind of performance as...

    Silver Mk1 Dunstable

    Flashed me as we passed Queensbury school - I had virtually nodded off and so didn't respond in me Mk2 silver! S.

    My Clio 172 with some anthys I bought off Ebay

    My Clio 172 with some anthys I bought off Ebay... I think it looks pretty good - certainly different to have mismatched silver and anthy together! Steve
