There's definitely something weird going on with van owners, especially VW van owners... This one belongs to my mate, and it's his pride and joy. He uses it for work, yet he spends a fortune on it!

Is this the one that cost £35k?

Yes, my 182 Cup had cruise control and basic A/C.

Hope all is clear now Chippie... Even if your 182 had the Cup splitter, suspension, wheels and spoiler it wouldn't make it a 182 Cup, but a FF 182. A 'Cup' has cloth interior and no climate control amongst other things, they're usually Racing Blue too although there's a couple of other colours...

Yes, but did the ST have ceramic brakes?

The ST's with ceramic brakes are quicker 100mph, as long as the rear spoiler is adjusted to the correct angle... Unless the 182 has a spare wheel and diffuser, then the Clio would win.

I think you're exaggerating our opinions, Royston. I'd happily have any of the cars in the review, it's just a shame that cars are getting so lardy these days.

Exactly my thoughts when I drove it, same applies to many modern cars. Women have no hope.

So long as it's not one of Jim's...

Surely though, if the Ka and Twingo etc can achieve 5-star NCAP ratings then why does an Astra/Clio have to be the size of a tank? I know they have more equipment and more legroom, boot space etc but cars seem much bigger than necessary... All with tiny windows and poor visibility too.

I took the Astra around Rockingham earlier in the year and was pleasantly surprised too, although I couldn't get over how huge hatchbacks feel these days. I still hated the gearnob though.

Love it when they test cars that you could potentially own, even better when they're tested on a track you know too...

Yep, in a Hyundai i10.

Looks nice dude!

Indeed. Local to us too. It's amazing the amount of desirable cars you see there considering it's a tiny track in the middle of nowhere.

Sounds like you know more than me... What's meant to be happening?

Many of the staff are only on temporary contracts, so they're dispensable if the work dies down.

This is the second time, Perkins is indeed very unstable.

Some kind of Jap/JDM day, mostly Hondas with drift-spec 200SX that stole the show by going round sideways.

Yes mate, Gaz lost his job too.

I was at Curborough Sprint Course today, and there was a nice black 172 going round. I recognise the car but not sure why, it had the popping remap done too judging by the sound of it.

Haha, wish it was on better terms... I've just lost my job! Your Clio looks sweet mate, love that colour :)

Hi Jonno! :)

Yeah Jonno! ...neither have I!

My mate has a black 197 with black wheels, you'll probably spot him around Cannock. It's always spotless!

Once you've tried Jap, you never go back lol... Kayzee is referring to your wheels lad!

Yeah man I've had 4 of 'em lol. Ace little cars :)

I'll have to stop by and say hello, ain't been in for a while!

I nearly suggested that there's a good chance you'd know me haha. Is Si still there?

I'm also from Cannock... Hi!
