Just bought a 182 and the gear knob is still the original one and needs replacing. Since they are a b**ch to get off I think this one will be cut off. Thinking of an OEM replacement, but unsure what else would suit the car.any one know the cost of an OEM knob? Is the phase 1 knob an...

out of interest how much did it cost to have the new clutch fitted.

light clutch you say, where can I get one?

hurry up with that one, just for me LOL

I think every review I've read has given the driving experience of the new CTR a thumbs up, it's just the styling that's a little OTT.

apologise if I've missed it but where did you get the new grab handles from. Where they new from the main dealers?

I’d love anything RS Cosworth but for the money they are fetching these days I’d rather buy something else like a Porsche for example.

Probably worth stating what year you sold said car to give an idea of how much you’ve fucked up. I sold my 205 in 2010 so it’s probably gone up nearly a grand a year. Replaced it with a 172 that I only had a year I think I sold that in 2011 for about £2500, so their prices haven’t gone anywhere.

My only worthy note would be a mint 205 GTI that I struggled to sell. Ended up getting £1100 for it, probably now worth £8000.

anyone got any recommendations for cleaning/polishing and sealing E46 M3 OEM polished wheels.

Just got back home and really enjoyed it. We camped on one of the official sites and were literally 3 minutes walk from the gates. I must say I enjoyed Thursday and Friday the most as the crowds were a lot lighter than Saturday and Sunday. Bumped into Kubica on the way back to our car.

A few more from yesterday

It juse showed how much those big spoilers actually contribute to keeping the car on the road. As soon as it broke loose he had no control at all.

Did someone not shut the engine cover properly

While strolling around we’ve seen Lord March Duggy Lampkin Brendan Hartley Mark Higgins Rene Arnoux Richard Petty Billy Monger Mark Webber Jackie Stewart (and Paul) Karun Chandhok. There are autograph area but I’m not that bothered about that.

A few more photos

Really, bugger I’ve missed it if there was an F40. Walked round the super car paddock yesterday and didn’t see it. My favorite two cars so far have been these (yes I like 911’s)

A bit of a cheat but I saw this little beauty today at goodwood, left on its own looking all unloved. Nick Masons 250 (worth around a cool £30 million.

if England are in the final it will be shown on the cricket field. If England aren't there they will not be showing it.

I'll take you out in mine when my umbers come out on Friday. Off to Goodwood this weekend and Porsche are celebrating their 70th anniversary there, so hoping to see loads of good Stuttgart machines there.

60K for a garage ornament

while I was picking my car up from the MOT there was a metallic green G reg Granada Ghia, in fairly mint condition. Stuck the reg in a MOT check and it had done 110,000 mile but had only done around 300 miles a year for the last 8 years or so. Horrible looking thing, it hadn't dated well at all.

saw another Calibra this morning dragging it's exhaust along the road making a right old noise. Looked a bit of a shed with a carbon effect bonnet with bonnet vents.

Looks so out of place. From the rear it looks like a 12 year old boy has styled it

Thought you were in possession of an Orion too?

mine was excellent economy wise considering the performance (std 172). Remind me how heavy is the clutch on a 1*2, I can't remember now. Tthe one in my M3 does not make long periods of stop start traffic too much fun. The only thing I wished my 172 had was cruise.

My dad has a 1.2 Clio Rip Curl.....I’m not jealous of you at all.

lovely but that stripe is horrific
