Youre not mad at all...theres plenty of us out there it seems... When I went away for a week in June, by the end of the second day Id pissed my Wife off as I was talking about driving it so much. When we finally got back and pulled into the drive I was like a little kid, ran inside, got the...

Make sure you tell em its been "magazine featured" eh Jon? My thoughts - Cups are for drivers...full fat 172s are for passengers - ***runs***

:D

Wasnt me...honest...

WTF :confused: ? Do I know you? Where did I mention cost above??? Why are A539s "better" than Exaltos IMHO? Compare the front left outer shoulder of my A539 to the front left outer shoulder of Lees Exalto when we were at Brands in May - his had tread blocks disintegrating and coming away...

If youve got an RS Clio with traction control...when the weather goes all s*** like it is now...do you just bury the throttle in the carpet and let the TCS sort everything out for you? Does TC make you a worse driver beacause you become used to the safety net always being there, as opposed to...

Omar did good then eh? Glad to hear it... Was a good day in the end then? How many turned up? Did you get full use of the strip, or just selected sections of it? How much was Omar ahead by?

A539s on my 172 Cup are without fault. Theyre progressive on the limit, and break away very gently. Ultimate grip level may be down compared to other brands, but when theyre this user-friendly, you get to use more of whats available to you more of the time. Downside is theyre no good in the...

Nice pics everyone...was more than a bit gutted I couldnt make it. So will there be another Clarkie?

b2s rock, Has ^^^ rocks :D

Aircon, auto wipers, and auto lights are for wimps...get a Cup :)

A1 service as usual. Thanks Mike. Having been told next Thursday was the earliest they could possibly fit me in, and being faced with a £150+ hire car fee in the meantime, Mike172sport works his magic, shifts things about, and gets it sorted once again :D :D :D

Thick? Really? So do you think that a steering wheel that wears out in less than 18 months of use is reasonable wear and tear then? Ive got one torn/split too...if they refuse to repair it and put it down to wear and tear, then the wheel in the first place was clearly not of "satisfactory...

:o...dont tell me that! Mike172sport at Linningtons was one of the main reasons Ive put up with this thing for so long...

I may well be seeing him very soon...

Does it? If thats the case Ill be needing a third starter motor or wiring loom :( Anyone say for certain what that light flashing really fast means? I just looked again and its between the "STOP" and "SERV" lights... [Edited by MarkCup on 20 July 2005 at 2:18pm] I hope I havent got...

...f****** useless piece of Renault sh*te. Theres a light, centre of the top row of the central group of warning lights between speedo/rev counter, its small, round and red. I normally only see this blinking away when the cars locked...but today it flashes very fast when Im turning the key...

Its... 1. Character 2. Balance 3. Anonymity

Those front ends look sooo much better than the current ones...nice :)

So thats what it was then? My boss was out on his boat yesterday and sailed into Bosham. He mentioned today that I should look into hiring Thorney airstip for a day as he heard "loud engines and plenty of tyre screeching" as he went round the island. Im local, but had no idea it was on...how...

OT I know, but an £8k M3 wouldnt wipe the floor with it.

Can you drive? Can he drive? Thats what it comes down to in the real world.

Yes (but in 12-18 months time)

Nice Kath, very nice indeed :)

I had a similar problem with my Cup last December...it turned out to be the airflow sensor/throttle housing I think. When it went it just sat "hunting" at 2-3k rpm as it was getting no messages from the sensor IIRC. Get it checked out/sorted ASAP before it lets you down on a motorway at 3 in...

Nope, ST220 is the new shape. But it is due for replacement soon.

I had the Zetec S V6 Mondeo before my Cup. 50bhp down on the ST220, but same handling pack with 18s etc. Handled like a car of that size had no right to, but was a bit gutless. Im sure the 220 is a gem.

Efficient customer service eh? Sadly thats such a rarity these days (judging by the monkeys in Makro Ive just had to endure for the last 30 mins :@).

Adults in the back? Ruins the handling, causes understeer...they should be banned from FWD hot-hatches IMO LOL.

YES!
