    My 172 Cup has been STOLEN.

    It is. It was. There's been 3 others recently. The last in a village 2 miles away, the day before. BMW, Cavalier, and something else.

    ST170 - Not another just washed thread...mods done so far

    I'd love one of those. Enough power to make it interesting, and if our 1.6 Zetec is anything to go buy, a chassis to die for.

    That's great Dan, thanks.

    Thanks Dan :approve:

    1.2 16v 0-100 curiousity.

    25s is optimistic. My old V6 Mondeo took 24s. I think 30+ too.

    My 172 Cup has been STOLEN.

    Just said goodbye to SOCO bloke and finished getting the ink off my hands. Just got to wait for the glazier now. No other news yet. Thinking about it all night (as you do) - if I do see it again it'll be bent I reckon. Like someone said, it won't burn as it's just metal, so it's either off...

    My 172 Cup has been STOLEN.

    Whose is 2nd? Thank you everyone for your comments. Seeing this thread grow so rapidly has been comforting. The sum total of what we have so far noticed is missing is; £100.00 cash (they missed an easy £10 and another £50 elsewhere) my Garrard watch Megan's money box Sarah's platinum...

    My 172 Cup has been STOLEN.

    So we're finally winding down, and I'm emptying my pockets onto the sideboard as I always do. I've got 10p in small loose change, so as I always do I went to drop it into Megan's money box... W***ers. I wonder if they found a petrol station that would take £17.00 of 5p, 2p, and 1ps.

    ...and to avoid confusion...I do mean the keys in the conservatory door... ;)

    My 172 Cup has been STOLEN.

    Just checked our insurance policy - leaving keys in means we have to pay the excess of £60 that's all. Phew! I could take them out...but I think the small hand-sized hole in the glass suggests they were in the lock at the time.

    My 172 Cup has been STOLEN.

    Nope. Happened during the day. Sarah got home at 1815 and our bedroom light was still on. She thought I must have come home early and swapped cars...but then couldn't understand where the Omega was. When she opened the front door it was still dead-locked and the mail was in the...

    My 172 Cup has been STOLEN.

    Yup. The main bloke had already spotted my IAM Observers certificate on the wall and was chatting to me about it beforehand - nothing wrong with making progress I said! Turns out they've had £200 from my wife's netball kitty, and my Garrard watch; I'm really pissed off about that - I only wear...

    My 172 Cup has been STOLEN.

    I've just emailed loads of pictures to the five-o showing the stickers and stripped to the metal interior - will be hard for them to make it blend in. Makes me think it was just taken for a thrash, and knowing what they're like, I'm expecting a call tonight to say it's been wrapped around a...

    They're taking statements from Sarah as I type this. CID have just turned up and a SOCO is en route. I'm not a violent person, but right now, I want to hurt someone.

    My 172 Cup has been STOLEN.

    M***er-f***ers smashed in through our conservatory, grabbed the keys plus some cash from upstairs, then left. Camcorder, camera, Xbox, new 6.1 amp all still here - so was either stolen to order or they got disturbed. Registration YE53 ZKW. Currently wearing 15" Dynamique wheels in silver...

    Got one of those new magic tress!!

    That's what mine's like too. Used like a van.

    Recommend a decent home cinema amplifier

    I bought one of these recently; Sony DDW-890 It's amazing. 1,000w. Lovely. He also sells a slightly lower spec DDW-790 - this one doesn't have any component input/outputs though.

    Choosing discs and pads...?

    At night, I can see the sparks up around my door mirrors so it gets up quite high.
  19. Tighten My Nuts

    Choosing discs and pads...?

    I disagree. I could bed any set of pads onto any set of discs, regardless of wear in one track session. The profiles won't match immediately, but on track, they'd break-in very quickly.

    Choosing discs and pads...?

    Given the choice, for the price, I'd go OE. DS2500 performance is not sufficiently improved over OE to warrant the extra cost in my opinion.

    Choosing discs and pads...?

    I was shocked tonight, braking moderately approaching a roundabout I could see what looked like diesel soot/smoke in the headlights of the car behind - I thought my engine might be f***ed or something. Then after seeing it a couple more times I realised it's actually a big cloud of brake...

    Yeah the RS one's mine too...forgot about that one, thought it was the South West circuit but it is the full GT.

    Any other Saturday in January and I'd have been able to come :( GT circuit's a challenge, so many corners, real variety. I've only got one video of me around there up; here if that's any use? It was filmed by a guy in a Saxo following me chasing an Ultima - starts just after exiting the first...

    Choosing discs and pads...?

    Can't comment on the cleanliness. Mine only ever gets a clean once in a blue moon, so it always looks grotty. Bite-wise, I can't say I noticed any change in the Blues depending on temperature.

    197 fuel consumption...

    That's outrageous! My Cup when it used to commute regularly gave me 40 (now it's retired it's averaging 31) and I even get 25-28 out of my Omega. Sounds like something's wrong somewhere?
