Anyone else get a thing through the post today, RS lanyard and 'Driver Pit Pass' inviting you to drive a 197?
I think I will just for the sake of it, will take my Lanyard to Oschersleben next week for the 24hr race too.
Went out for a drive tonight, all back roads, all national speed limit i.e 60.
Was following a jag s type on a twisty section, hanging right back, get to the start of a straight and I floor it and pull out and pass him with what would have been ease, but he floored it and blocked me, on the...

its ET45 on my 182, so does this mean I'd need 10mm spacers?

Hi guys n gals,
I know there's a fair few IT folks on here, anyone got experience in Content Management Systems?
Basically I have English documents in PDF format and standardised text which goes into these (250+ documents), I have German and Spanish text too and French coming plus more in...
Anyone used them, what experience you or mates had?
I'm booked in for Saturday to get my Blueflame exhaust fitted, £50 and kinda short notice for a Saturday so: so far I'm impressed!
Thinking of getting one for a 172 (not mine), i know they're easier to remove and replace on the 182 than 172.
Anyone got one on their 172 and got pics / advice on how easy it is to put the cat back on come MOT time?
I remember reading someone had paid £25 to have it done somewhere prior to...
Well I've got the car booked in for Friday as the exhaust gas light is on, inspecting the exhaust looks like the rear silencers are rusting through, due to water ingress I think / water collecting inside it, anyone had a warranty for this reason?
design flaw?
I know they're not the best but...
Was topping up my oil today as I noticed it was a bit lower than last week (I went a long drive on Saturday)
Anyway I was wondering round the car checking stuff out, sounds fine running. Looked at the exhaust covered each tailpipe one at a time looking for leaks. I notcied the offside...

hmmm car looks familiar?! oh yes, they used my car pic without telling me lol, to be fair the pic was taken 'potentially' for a pipercross catalogue.

spotted these if anyones interested.
Went out for a wee blast in the car cause I was bored, straight out the back road from mine out towards Loch Lomond, thought sod it and kept going to Stirling, drove under the castle looking great all floodlit and blasted back, country roads all the way, used a 1/4 tank of petrol but who cares...
OK so the 182 has a 4-2-1 manifold. would it be possible to have just a 4 - 2 and then two single seperate pipes to two single seperate tail pipes which from the back would look normal.
I only ask as, as far as I can think it'd be free-er (new word for Saturday night) flowing to have this than...

Spotted a Scottish registered 52 plate cup at the Allander sports centre tonight, I was walking to the gym and you got there as I did and left as I was walking home too.
Anyone here?
Here's my views, I'm happy with my purchase, 22 months and 25k miles of 182 ownership.
the RS Clios are easy to drive fast, if you are in the right gear and approaching the power band u can surprise a lot of much dearer and supposedly faster cars.
Likewise if you're miles away from the...
Went up to Knockhill with a couple of mates today for the first of their new style 'run what you brung' trackday, i.e. everything must be road legal.
I didn't go on track but have a feeling next time I will!!!

Whats a good time to call them to make sure you get to speak to someone in the UK who has English as a first language?
The fake western names are amusing, "Hello, you're through to Bob..."

£8500 or so, was chatting to the salesman, he was alright surprisingly!!! and its just been traded in...
Anyone else got one? If so, what frequency do you use it on? Anyone got a frequency which NEVER suffers any interference?
Too lazy to try them myself. Any help appreciated.
Cheers, Rory
