Revs and gear-changes make little difference in the real world to fuel consumption. Using the brakes does. Aim to avoid touching them at all costs and you'll see an extra 10% mpg (if not more) easily. It's all about smoothness, reading the road, and planning ahead.

No way!

I just realised that black debris in the first pic is a chunk off the brake disc - properly f***ed!

Ooh, ouch. What is it with GT3 RS drivers? At an Evo magazine day at Brands a while back a GT3 RS went flying into the gravel at paddock, they must have something to prove LOL.

Best I've managed is a 1:27 on Yokohama A032s...which are worth about 3 seconds a lap so 1:30 on road tyres would be bang on for me. I know where there's at least another 1 second (and maybe more depending on how brave I feel :evil: ) to be had though. This is one of my earlier...

How? With what?

Nice doors.

Not easy to mount then? Or a fairly simple fix? I'm having all remaining trim ripped out of mine this week but was going to leave the door-cards in...but it looks like I can retain the speaker and door handle easily if they do come out. Couldn't live without the windows though due to me...

I thought about giving chase in the Omega...

I can see you've still got standard door handles inside...what have you done with the electric window switches?

Nice roads - wish they were like that and as quiet down here.

Good video, that Punto had huge understeer trying to keep ahead, nicely done :approve: Semi-slick track tyres are good aren't they :evil:

No idea Martin. I was thinking this today when discussing with Mike about SORNing my car over the winter. Got to be somethiuing out there...home contents insurance? LOL

Maybe I should've wiped my hands better after my morning w***? That tiny little mark above is how mine started...it's all downhill from there.

At the ripe old age of 93,250 it's now retired and very definitely just for fun. Don't think it's happy about it though...jealous of the Omega I reckon which is why it threw this hissy-fit! Don't worry though, even without a front seat, passenger rides will still available at the Airfield *...

We (well he, I just kept the coffee and cheeseburgers coming) did actually get it going. Once. Something to do with the feed to the fuel pump relay, broken wire somewhere. Once's he's isolated it it'll just get bridged. Also, while it's there it'll have every single bit of remaining...

I think the Ph-Q front end is soooo much better/more aggressive than the Ph2. I never get anyone move over, but there's something about the Ph-Q, it's the vents below the headlights I think...it screams "GET OUT OF MY WAY!". Having said that, the Ph2s aren't too bad...

Yep. On it's way to Rentech Towers and for some Mikey Big Hands lovin'.

...this is NOT a good look for a Clio.

I want to know this too. 5th's always been too long for me on track, could do with a bit more pull, make the best of what the engine has to give.

Nothing wrong with my hands sweetness, I grip and stroke it gently. Serious question for you for a change Ali... Is there anything in your detailing arsenal that would have stopped that? Or is it just s*** leather?

...their weight in gold? I intend to...with exactly what you've got, but with thumb contour swelled bits or whatever they're called :approve:

How's yours Day?

Have you slowed down putting miles on Chris...I thought you were way ahead of me? Mine's retired now, at the grand old age of 93,000.

Didn't see what your average speed was did you?

I'm going to once I get it going again...planning a few changes elsewhere as well now I don't commute in it anymore. 93,000 - but that's irrelevant in my opinion. Name another make of car with leather wheels that look like that after 3.5 years?

Our 42" is on the wall no probs, with a £20 eBay special bracket. I could hang off it as well and it would still not budge. A 19"? You could mount that with Blu-Tac ;)

If so, do I win a prize? Mmmmm, nice... Definitely not fit for the purpose...no way is that 'normal' wear and tear. Anyone have one that's worse?

I know what people have said, but when it was turning and not catching, I did it like that with headlights/foglights/rear window demister all turned on and cranked it for 30 seconds. The headlights didn't dim even slightly, so surely it's not that?

Oops! And there's me thinking cars with ABS never crash.
