And my own! Lap times are not something I chase although I'm mildly hopeful I've finally beaten a lap I knocked out in my 172 Cup of 1:37.58. See above...I managed a 39.2 last year (MP215, standard tyres) and someone who came out with me on the last session where unfortunately I had to keep it...

AD08R, first time I've tried them, they were very very good. Friendly when moving, dug in hard when not. Considering how much I was moving about all day I took remarkably little off them too.

It's true...

F***-a-bout, what a palava. You certainly pick 'em Dave!

I can count on one hand how many times in the last year that I've touched any of the buttons on the stereo head unit in my ST. Voice control and steering wheel buttons are all you need. Even so, being able to press one button for a function is better than having to go through several menus to...

Sixth is very long, that's part of the reason why they can publish such good MPGs.

I liked/like Chip. I don't like that video. Good find.

It seems from what I've read that what they've done at the back makes quite a difference. Evo mag did a bit piece on it this month, they love it even more than they did before. apart from the price that is. Don't be concerned, loads have it done before they take delivery. I waited 12k miles...

I've been playing with mine since I got it, it's lurvley.

Is that from your camera? I've never had anything from the mount itself but have had a camera or two that have had internal rattles, mounted on the headrest can be a pretty rough ride for them.

No stills, just sounds mostly...and a couple shots of the Clio R.S. 16 which looks great in the flesh...

As a heads up Halfords Professional socket sets are half price at the moment, and until tomorrow web orders/reservations on all tools also get an additional 15% off. I'm just about to go and pick up the 200 piece socket set for £127.50. :grinning:

There is, the GT circuit which is basically the entire place...3.5 miles long I think it is. I caught my moment on camera on the day, it's at 3:55 below...filmed long before high definition was even an idea LOL Watching this back makes me realise just how much I miss that car. Sniff.

Sounds like a lot of fun. The South West circuit is a really good mix of corners and a lot less to get your head around than the full GT circuit. Sounds like your 172 is shaping up nicely. Last time I was on that layout was also on an RS day in my Clio 172 Cup...I had a high speed off on the...

I filmed it a few times on my nice new shiny Sony 4K thingy. Haven't gotten through all my video yet though so don't know if I captured its sound well. Can't say I recall hearing anything at all from it in person.

Don't forget the comedy price too. I do think it looks nice...but as with everything Clio since the demise of the Mk3 it's too little too late.

Fpm? You meant fps surely LOL?

Really? FLOL I thought the GoPro Silver's claim to 4k was laughable because it only did 15fps...but 10fps? That's like actual stop-frame-animation!

Wow, that camera rocks 640x480.

That looks tidy. They can get to a lot more than 200bhp...I got torn a new one at Bedford recently by one running north of 250bhp...had a turbo from a Toureg on it apparently. Went like stink, left monumental clouds of soot in the air behind it though!

Roger, thank you. I'm on a cheap monthly Talkmobile SIM only contract so will give them a call in advance of the holiday. I know I'll most likely get hammered if I do want to use it while I'm over there.

Are these fees Europe only or will I likely be able to roam in 'murica for £3 a day as well?

Sounds like the hose has popped off/split as said. I had the same happen to me on my ST, it idled fine, I could drive it OK...I just had very little power. For me I had to get the car up on axle stands, crawl underneath, and then re-attach the hose and properly tighten the jubilee clip.

Live brake temps sounds ultra cool, I WANT! What I'd really like is a simple brake pedal pressure sensor...I can get throttle pedal position (and manifold) from the ECU no problem, but being able to see brake pressure, overlap, transition from throttle etc. fascinates me. GoPros? Definitely...

I've just added a 4Black and Hero Session to my collection so will be running 7 cameras and a digital field recorder next time out LOL I can't be bothered with batteries, charging, recharging, swapping over etc. The positions I have my cameras in are pretty much fixed so I have a spider's web of...

Do exactly this. Even a brand new GoPro struggles to get through a full day on track for me...I have ALL my cameras permanently powered when I'm on track.

There's so many manufacturers out there wanting a piece...if in doubt, only use vendors listed on Techmoan's review pages.

Better than a Hero? How so? I've been there with cheaper cameras, never again!

That is a very good buy, worth every penny. I got mine in 2004 I think it was and it's attached to the headrest in my ST right now. It's been bolted on and off more times than I care to remember and still looks, feels, and works as it did the day that I first got it a decade ago.

It was indeed. Unfortunately I had to call a halt to the day at lunch due to my Mintex 1144 rear pads wearing down to the metal. Unless there were multiple 172 Cups I'm sure I came across you on track once or twice...I still have very fond memories of my 172 Cup so I love seeing them still...
