If I sniff even a hint of cameras, I stick to my leisurely 55mph. It just isnt worth the hassle of a speeding ticket for speeding through road works. It wouldnt be as if youd look back and say "oh well, I got a fine, but it was worth it for the thrill"!!!!!

My Valver and I have had loads of fun beating up highly regarded opposition on the UKs A and B roads in recent times. But Ive never come up against a 205 1.9 GTi - and I want to know just how theyd compare to a moded 16v!! (I secretly wanted one at the time I got my 16v, but its difficult to...

Im one of them too!! I never let my car actually get dirty and always wash it as soon as its got some flies/dust on it. Sad, I know, but try finding a shinier Valver!!

Fine thanks! Edinburgh is a wicked city all round! As you might have read in other posts, Edinburgh is unique as it has Londons cars - but the space and roads of a small city like Cardiff. So its perfectly possible to go out for a drive and race a 911, S-Type, Honda S2000 and loads of other...

Well, theres still some hope in Edinburgh I reckon. I keep hearing that Edinburgh is second to London for house prices and it is expensive. But the really expensive places after London are Reading, Bristol, Bath and the like. I park my car up a quiet cobbled street opposite Donaldsons...

Well, my standard jack is still providing loyal service on my lowered motor!

South Wales Police list the locations of all their cameras - static and moving - on their website. There are few statics in the region - but loads of Fiat Scudos. Theres a red Transit that sits atop bridges on the M4 - but youd be stupid to get caught by that as its red and has a big slogan...

In Autocar - wants £4.7k for a Naples Red with 28k on the clock!! Never used in winter apparently. Sounds nice! One owner.

No, not me - its just the most widely available super unleaded. Shell really have the Edinburgh market stitched up. I guess Renault would recommend the higher octane stuff for reasons better than to support the oil industry! Id be quite happy to have it on good authority that its a load...

So they do!! The worst is when you get Hamish McTavish calling from the docks on his fishing boat - seagulls going crazy and an accent thicker than George Bushs intellect!

Yeah, basically you could tune a Nova to rip seven kinds of s**** from a Williams/16v/172. But who do you think would win when the boy with a tuned Williams rocks up? My mate with his 250bhp Williams would be happy to oblige Im sure!! Moreover, what do you think will happen when it gets...

I use Optimax and other Super Unleadeds as the handbook for my 16v says to use 97/98 RON petrol. Again, I also use it becuase theres no point being an athlete and eating Tesco value sausage rolls!

Hiya mate I remember seeing you in my mirror in Southend a few weeks ago at the meet - your sidelights were on and looked ace because the bulbs were really distinct from the headlamp as a whole (you know most bulbs just fill the headlamp lens). So what bulbs are you running?

If Im accelerating off the mark and the surface isnt smooth/Im not holding the car on a good line - then it wobbles like crazy. Yep, its called torque steer I think! I think it feels fab once youre used to it!! It certainly isnt due to any mechanical bits going wrong on my car - as...

Basically, the 1.8 8v RSi was the 330i equivalent. The 16v was developed and released a little later as the M3-type car. The Willy was the M3 CSL equivalent - a honed to perfection special edition of the 16v. The 16v was influenced and developed partly through the Renault Sport Group A...

Ta for that Lofty! Incredibly my 16v has no rust at all on the rear arches (1994 L) - touch wood! Ive even seen a 1996 N last-of-the-line 16v with mega rust on the rear arches. When I sold my old Clio it had no rust on the arches, but I saw it the other week (ten months later) - and it...

I was running 5w/50 fully synthetic - now Im on a part synthetic 10w/40 (Renault say 10w/40 or 15w/40). I really dont notice any difference - except that the oil pressure at idle is now lower with the 10w/40 oil . Can somebody explain? I thought that as 10w/40 is a thicker oil, the oil...

Im abig fan of the North - but I take "North" to mean northern England. I know technically Scotland is in the north, but I call that Scotland. Im very strongly with Lofty in the price thing. As someone who will be on a decent gross salary this time next year, Im looking very much away from...
