We picked up my wifes 182 on Saturday and as we set off, the doors automatically locked. I thought this was a new feature of the 05 plate cars until I was told how to do it on mine. Set the auto lock today and it works fine. Quite chuffed in a bizarre way :confused:. Just shows you that it...

Well, in a matter of hours today, the wife has bagged-off her :@ demonic :@ Mini Cooper S and a racing blue 182 is ready for her to pick up 9.30am on Saturday..... Maybe Ill be able to splice the two together and get a 4.0litre Clio 364! D.

Driving back from Tescos just now, I thought I caught glimpse of some spinners on a car. I slowed down and as I approached this junction, some bloke who looked like a cross between Pete Waterman and Les Battersby was behind the wheel of a red Corolla. Not just any red Corolla mind, this one...

Went the opposite way from me near Tescos in Blackburn on Friday. I wish Id learnt to drive in one of those instead of a H-plate Nova. ;) Note to all 172 modders. Billboards on the roof dont look good.... D.

Spotted a Cup near the lights at Heap Bridge, Bury. Just passing a drain-cleaning truck that was blocking the traffic. Plate ended in KVD, iirc. Was it you? D.

Who was it that asked if I went onto the forum outside my house on Saturday afternoon? You drove a Meggy 225 but never said what your forum name was? Cheers, D.

Probably posted before, but theres some funny ones...... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/VW.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/THINK.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/SKODA.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/SCOOTER.jpg...

I let onto you and you waved back.... :) Didnt catch the reg unfortunately..... D.

I was heading from Ashton-side, at the major set of lights on Ashton Moss, heading towards Crowhill. You were at the lights, coming up from the town centre/Sainsburys direction. I was about to let onto you when another bloody Clio pulled up alongside you and blocked my view! :) Anyone on here...

Just tidying out the crap from my PCs and came across these pics from about a year ago. A m8 of mine pressed the right-pedal a bit too much and the stupid auto box went into kick-down....... on a bend. Ouch..... :cry: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/PICT0125800x600.jpg...

See it almost everyday now. Let onto them before, but no response. Probably another none-forum user! D.

Drove back from Barnoldswick this morning and saw it parked up. Anyone on here? D.

Just had a look at the vid clip on FastDrive.org (do a search under Lotus 340R on Track) and its sheer class came back to me. What a bloody great car that is. That exhaust note sounds even better from the drivers seat..... :D http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/Lotus340RPic1.jpg...

Just before the Edgworth turn-off. Flashed you and you acknowledged (hoo-rah!). Just as I was about to loose faith in RS Clio owners..... Let onto a silver 172 to this dinnertime as well. The expression on the drivers face as she went past was an amalgamation of "whos the f**ks that?" and...

Youre a braver person than I am - parking amongst the numpties near the entrance. Strictly reserved for the elderly and the TWDGAS Drivers (those who dont give a sh*t). Check your door for dings, when you get back! D.

Hows best to wash to cloths and stuff that you use to wax your cars with? Obviously, I dont quite like the idea of bunging them into the washing machine - just in case the wax residue stays in the machine itself. Is it simply a case of washing them in the sink with hot water and some washing...

Just a thought - how many people on here wash their wifes/girlfriends car at the same time that they wash their own? I used to do it almost religiously, but increasingly, Im usually just washing my own. I hope this doesnt make me a bad husband?! :oops: :confused: Maybe I should pull my...

Well, Ive passed four RS Clios this morning on the way into work - two 172 Cups, one blue and one silver 172. I let onto all of them and didnt get one response. :cry: The only one Id let off would be the woman in the silver 172. We passed each other on opposite sides of the M66, so a combined...

Probably the engine mounts, but the noise is a bit much for a 4 month old car. Its always when the clutch engages - or the engine takes the strain. Sounds like a creak, which I cant hear if I blip the throttle. Does the gearbox have its own set of mountings or does it rely on the ones for the...

Seemingly stupid question I know (the engine - doh!) - but whats actually there? Is there any space at all for luggage or is it just access to oil filler caps etc? Just intrigued.....! D.

Does this thing just clip on in several places? Noticed it pushed out slightly on the front left, but just wanted to check before I got caked in crap trying to look underneath..... D.

Am I right in saying that as you set off in first gear - even slowly and on level ground, a slight creak/clunking noise is the result of dodgy engine mounts? 5 months old, 3k on the clock and already Ive got this.....! :o D.

...... until last night. Set speed. Press + to go faster. Press - to slow down. Press R to resume. Hehe! Weird sh*t placing both feet on the floor mat and doing 75mph on the M66.... See, it doesnt take much to impress those people with small, fragile minds.... :D

I have to say, with the external temp flashing away at -1 and barely reaching 0 by the time I got to work, the little 182 has behaved itself brilliantly. Obviously, no one in their right mind takes their car to the legal limits in this cold weather, but the composure over my ex 4-wheeled...

What do people think of it in Evo magazine? I think it looks great - not sure I could look at that colour everyday though. It certainly stands out.

Not sure if this has happened to others on here, but Ive still got the adhesive backing on the drivers door cill from where a protective strip was placed during transport. Ive tried to get it off with both Auto Glyms intensive tar remover and the bumper care solutions, but it only takes a...

.... if you could have just one feature off your previous car(s) in a Clio, what would it be? Mines really trivial, but the boot release catch on my Punto was great! I wish that was on my 182.... D.

Ive no way of proving/disproving this, but here goes... My car is 6 weeks old and since Ive had it, it pulls very slightly to the right. Hardly noticable most of the time, but every now and then, you could feel it. Id always put it down to the camber of the road, etc, so I wasnt particularly...

What are the views on cleaning stuff for the Clio? Ive used Auto Glym stuff for years and found that its bloody good and the shine lasts for quite some time afterwards. Especially if you use the additional polish once its dried. Any suggestions for good-non abrasive wheel cleaning fluid as...

....... is there any such car in the offering? With Hondas Type-R benchmark just a smidgen under 200bhp, are we likely to see Renault raise the bar to 192bhp with the next revision? Anyone heard/seen anything to prove/disprove this? Cheers, D.
