Try Norwich Union Direct http://www.norwichuniondirect.co.ukwww.norwichuniondirect.co.uk they are pretty good. Often you have to play one insurance company off against another. My husbands renewal arrived recently for his Beemer, so he tried a couple of different companies who quoted slightly...

Rob I think that if you take out your own insurance, you will build up your own no claims discount, but being a named driver on your parents insurance will mean that if you take out insurance in your own name, you will have zero no claims discount. Possibly doing this for a few years, until...

Good man! Typical of the Scots, caring, thoughtful and generous! :)

Geoff my first colour guess was right! You will love driving the BM as it feels like you are sitting in a real cabin and you feel very safe and protected, which is very reassuring with the number of stupid drivers on the road at times! Trouble is that occasionally, some people object to...

What colour is it going to be Geoff? My guess is either silver or something like topaz blue!

Nick You should be alright for a discount from DT - just tell JH that you are a Cliosport administrator! :)

Chris172 Your car looks ~ GORGEOUS~ it was well worth getting Geoffs wheels. Your tail pipes look superb too. Seeing just how lovely your little Clio looks, I bet Geoff wishes he wasnt getting a Beemer estate now, sorry, I meant to say Tourer! ;)

Paul Since it is going to be Burns Night next week, might this be a "Wee Timorous Beastie"?

Could be the heater matrix. A friend had a similar thing recently with a 306 XSi Pug and also had a bit of a curry type smell in the car too.

Craggy How is the VTS going? :)

There is a plate somewhere underneath your bonnet, that usually has the paint code on it! Just make a note of all the numbers / letters you can see, and your paint / body shop will know which ones relate to the paint code.

Excellent Gordy, and so much gripper than the Contis, and apparently they also disperse water much better than the Contis, (possibly due to the diagonal lines ?) (which is handy with the present climate) as has been said before by others too, except for those who still have their Contis...

Just realised that he doesnt have a Cup, unless he had borrowed someone elses!!

Jase1 If it was down near Bristol, it was possibly BenH as he likes to have a go at Audis!!! ;)

_____________________________________________________________ When you compare the tread patterns on the Toyo Proxies and the Conti Sport there is very little difference visually. The directional diagonal designs (Goodyear / Michelin / Uniroyal) disperse water sideways and are supposed to...

Face What happens in a hot dry spell when there is no water about, especially if these birds are many miles from the coast and the sea? Where do they go then? or can they hold on for a long time? ;)

Us girls wouldnt even consider driving diesel cars! Even if we did, our husbands would make sure that they had full tanks, so no problem with putting in wrong stuff! Actually the only people I know who have put petrol in diesel or diesel in petrol cars, have been blokes! Women wouldnt do...

Do you think that the Contis disperse water as well as the tyres which have a diagonal / zig zag tread pattern?

Paul Are these wheels to be 16" or 17" size?

GeordiePaul Just as Chris said, phone John Harris at Demon Tweeks - his direct dial number is 01978 663 057 and either mention Cliosport or Sylvia and hopefully this should get you a discount! You can also e-mail him mailto:johnh@demon-tweeks.co.uk">johnh@demon-tweeks.co.uk and ask him for a...

"Touring" is an upmarket name for "Estate" in the BMW world! Geoff has probably gone out today to buy the Hunters wellies and wax jacket! ;)

Good job it isnt hot and sunny, which would burn it into your car! Hopefully you hosed it off at the first opportunity.

I once ran over our paper boys bike! Having unlocked the garage door, it wasnt there, but by the time I reversed my car out, he had laid it across the drive and was pushing the paper through the front door. Crunch! It looked rather mangled as I ran right over it - he admitted it was his own...

It does feel much safer driving a sturdy BMW, but it wont be as much fun for you round the lanes / bends etc in a diesel estate car! ;)

Looking at Robbs site, http://www.truggy.fslife.co.uk/wheels.htmhttp://www.truggy.fslife.co.uk/wheels.htm it is easy to see that wheels which look great on a black car, dont necessarily suit a red or silver car, or what suits a red doesnt look good on a silver / blue ....and so on .....

Sorry guys, you are both wrong! The 172 comes with an alloy spare, which is identical to the four on the car!

This would be an example of a Nova driver going onto his club website saying that he has toasted a Cup!!

CarlosTheJackel The 172 is understated and just has those little discreet silver badges to give the game away. There is an element of surprise with them - others are surprised at just how nippy they are, especially if they think they are just ordinary Clios!. Unlike cars like tarted up...
