Plus the Fisher Price plastics on the gearknob. There's more substance in an empty crisp bag than in the selector button.

I've passed 42k miles now, nothing to report. Chart and cost update is overdue so I'll get that updated later. I almost had to make another call to the insurance company last night...

Fire and theft?

This makes for an interesting read; The Case Against Grip... http://arstechnica.com/cars/2015/09/the-case-against-grip-as-evidenced-by-the-2016-mazda-mx-5-miata/

Ha ha ha...you fail hard for not going around the roundabpout at least twice though! :p

I compared the two, the Fiesta requires less effort to make progress, the Clio rewards the required effort more and has an infinitely better throttle response. Compared to anything boosted most NA cars require more effort to overtake...that doesn't necessarily make them sh*t.

These are a Clio 200 (same track, same wheelbase, same power, same torque*) but with a much lower centre of gravity and slippy-diff-rear wheel drive. I really can't see what's not to like about them...other than the full list price...which you negated very well. Love it. * slight variances...

Whoa, good effort. Clearly ran out of common sense and gained a sh*tload of stupidity a good half a mile or so beforehand.

Because of this maybe? http://www.cliosport.net/threads/iobd-app-compromised.782108/

Yep. I need some external footage too, then I might be happy...

I've learned a huge amount this time around working with four cameras and a separate audio field recorder but it's a huge task still pulling it all together. Annoyingly I'm trying to justify to myself another three cameras which will make it even harder.

Here's the entire day in 20 seconds; and 10 minutes;

A cheap £5 Bluetooth OBD from eBay is what I use which I then log from using Torque Pro. GPS? Nexus 5 does that. There's better out there but for me it's enough. As above, yes it looks complicated but out doesn't have to be. What I do in the video above is taking it to extremes. You can do...

I use a GoPro HD2, GoPro Hero, and 2x G1W-H to record video, a Zoom H1 to record audio, Serif MoviePlus 6 to overlay and synchronise all of the video and audio streams, an old beat up SIM-less Nexus 5 to log data and GPS position, Excel to manipulate and correct/smooth that data, and with a...

That's race red? It looks like Molten Orange! That was £725 well spent LOL I bet that Octavia is a limo by comparison ride comfort wise.

Very!

Exactly, although it is odd that the only people who seem to get behind the car and proclaim its greatness are those that own them! I would have had one, love the way they look, almost had one too but swayed to the ST at the last minute. I'm kind of glad I did as, from what I've read, the car...

The main issue with the EDC (either 200 or 220) is the inability of those that own them to see what's written about them by the motoring press at large as anything other than petty rants for the sake of it...poor Renault, the country's press are all ganging up on their new baby (despite them...

No. It's a damper. The spring returns it, the damper dampens the spring's motion.

He knew the track, knew the lines, normally once I'm past someone at Goodwood I'll get away because there's a place or two they're not comfortable with. He was on it all the way round. Watching him bounce and weave behind was a laugh.

Prawn and his very very rapid A3

Huge fun had going against this MX5, no idea on the spec but it was proper rapid

This was very unusual...normally get through a whole day without seeing one, on this day we saw seven!

Get them from George 172 (RTR parts) - he sorted me with a set and they've transformed the day-to-day drive...it's only when they're gone that you really realise just how bad they are! I ran the ESC in sport all day this time out. I played about with gentle mid-corner lifts throughout the day...

...and one more...I've watched all my sessions like this now and have learned a huge amount for when I'm out next. What was it Jackie Stewart said? "Don't press the throttle until you can be sure you can stay on it"?

I never found the originals lacking in bite or power...but they were just too grabby. The DS2500s with their lesser response when cold are much much better and far easier to modulate on the road. The DS2500s on track were solid all day long...not one hint of fade but then Goodwood does give...

My best laps are 1.37.6 in my 172 Cup (stripped, soft sticky tyres, epic brakes) and a 1.39.1 in my ST MP215 (standard other than DS2500s on the front axle). I'll make sure to note at the revival meeting in a few weeks what they get around in.

I had another crack at the Golf

This one was a bit too close for comfort
