I was tempted to go the ipod->alpine route, but theres a couple of issues at the moment with the 2004 head units (caching & they dont support the accelerated scrolling that the ipod does). Id hold fire until the 2005 head units appear because hopefully these issues will be fixed.

And what happens if you crash it? I certainly wouldnt want to pay the repair bill for minor damage to a mercedes, let alone anything major. If you check the wording you may even find that you are specifically prohibited from doing this as you own both cars. Ive skidded on fuel on the road...

They normally park in a layby just before the first of the fixed truvelos before the "cambridge services", Ive only ever seen white camera vans in that layby and they are speed camera ones. Wouldnt worry about it mate, highly unlikely you got done if your speedo was reading 75. A14 usually...

Quote: Originally posted by brazo on 22 September 2004Yer fine woof 10% +2 is what they work to! 10%+2 is only a guideline set by the acpo, if they choose too, they can do you for speeds under "the rule". see http://www.pepipoo.com/files/ACPO/ACPO_enforcement_guidelines.htmhere

why the f**k have they given it a smiling front, the best thing about the 172 is that it looks pretty mean from the front, that one looks like a puppy about to hump your leg.

Quote: Originally posted by blink172 on 07 September 2004 havent you noticed the lack of keyhole on the drivers door, but one on the passenger side? I think the french cars are the other way round.

Quote: Originally posted by Day^ on 07 September 2004 After it rains, when all the $hit comes up onto the windscreen, I cant see jack out of the top right corner... Thanks for having safety in mind Renault :( not exactly sure why youd need to see out of the top right corner though...

id probably recommend anybody to check this, when we laid down some power cable from the engine bay to the boot we had to undo the bolt at the bottom of the seatbelt to get the cable through (passenger side) and the bolt was loose (like finger loose). Pretty scary that somebody else had a...
