I've been asked by mike to put a little thread together for this in his absence.
For those not in the know, TOPO stands for The Old Post Office and is a pub just off the m1 near barnsley. It's a lovely little place with a nice car park and friendly towards the car enthusiast.
We had some...
With the mrs expecting our third baby ive had to go down the family route for the second car.
I was gonna go for a mk4 gt tdi 4 door but always thought that Golfs should be 3 door not 4 door so went for a Bora.
Bora 1.9tdi 150 Sport,150k with FSH - a few marks here and there and a key scratch...
I have done a search on these but couldnt really find anything definitive regarding them. Ive got sportlines on my cup but ill be honest - I want it to go lower. Im not going to do track days, just the occasional spirited drive so with this in mind I dont want to be spending half the cars total...
Rang up a place in York for a quote to remove tints from my two rear windows and back window - £90!I was expecting to pay maybe £40 nips but £90 is a bit steep.I might even attempt it myself......
Was a nice day today so decided to give the clio a clean and took some pics.

My mate has left me with his car for a few days while he goes to a stag do in Newcastle. Had a few drives in it and its not a bad bus to be honest. I dont think id own one as im not a fan of turbo cars really but its certainly quick!
Gave it a wash and took a few pics to make up for leaving it...
Few pictures I took from todays meet in Yorkshire. Not the best and im sure the pros will be on later but here we go;

I finally had enough of my yozza race system on the cup yesterday and swapped it over for the power flow system that was originally on the car when I bought it.
The yozza is a beautifully made exhaust and still looks as good as new but was just so LOUD! I've had a number of custom exhausts on...
Fitted these today. Im pretty happy with how they look tbh. Im tempted to go with coilovers but as its a daily I dont really want to totally ruin the ride and its £650 fitted for the ones I want!
Here are the pics;

Thought I'd post a thread for any funny / unusual / cool pictures that people may have taken over the years at cliosport meets. I was just looking through my photo bucket account and found this picture of realnumber1 enjoying a pint of black sheep outside at a sunny nw meet back on 09 I think...
The first Yorkshire cliosport meet of 2012 was a drive from Leeds to the lovely sea side town of Whitby in North Yorkshire.
Thanks to those that turned up - was a nice mix of cars.
I didnt get many pictures but here are the ones I got;

I enjoyed attending the vw meets last year in the golf so was thinking about getting something cheap to cruise in for the summer. Seen this little motor and thought it looked interesting. Only 1l but is more about the looks then the speed for me.
What do people think? Is there an element of...
I thought I'd get radical and see if anyone actually fancied going for a drive somewhere on the above date?
There doesn't seem to have been a 'driving' meet in Yorkshire for ages now and it's a little cold to be standing in car parks taking pictures.
Not really thought about where to go so...
Since I posted my last pictures of the cup I have had a few more bits done to it so thought id post some pics.
I have had eibach sportlines fitted - to be honest, they have not made much difference to the ride height but feel quite nice. Id like coilies but my days of crawling over speed bumps...
Been looking at decats for the 172. I've seen the ktec ones and also the yozza one but they all seem quite expensive!
Is there anything particularly special about these as my local exhaust dude could make one up for me out of stainless and fit for less then £100?
I've finally come back to the clio scene after a year or so off!
Ive had a 182, 2 x 172ff, a 172 exclusive and a 197 cup but never had a 172 cup so decided to take the plunge.

I've ordered some...
I bought this little bad boy today - it was fine on the test drive and stuff but have got back home and it sounded like a massey ferguson tractor!
I got the car cheap (ish) and know its gonna need a cambelt and aux belt change but from what I remember from my previous Clios, they didnt sound...
Can any of you photoshop gurus please change the colour of the wheels on my S3.
Im thinking black or gun metal grey / anthracite.
Thanks in advance!

Here are some pictures I took;

We have eventually outgrown the audi a4 and the multitronic gearbox was giving me nightmares so have moved to this;
Crappy dealer photo at the moment but will update with more photos when I get chance.
BMW 530d M Sport Estate Auto, 100k, FBMWSH with all the toys.
Its a big bus!
Was bored today so decided to take a few pictures of the Rallye.
