So whats the deal with moving to full synth? Sure I read somewhere that you shouldnt until car had done 6k+? Assume its OK for me to put Excellium when I get the oil a first change done at around 2k?

3 years!? Had assumed you only got a year of Renault paid for recovery!

Poor shocks on 172/182 are a common problem. It isnt down to wear and tear ... its down to poor shocks and Renault know that! You need to argue this further with them ...

Reckon theres somebody with over 50k. Ive done 2k in the 2 months since Ive got mine ... on the high side for me so hopefully will slow down to nearer 8k per annum. Since then its got 2 rattles ... a minor kerbing ... and a b*****d chip on the front where a stone hit it on the bottom edge...

Went to the museum for the first time in years about 6 months ago. Was pretty cool ... and all it cost me was enduring a SMART owners club meet with my best mate in his SMART Roadster. (*Cough* beards *Cough* woolly jumpers) Bet Inchape dont invite me ... since they didnt get to sell me the...

My Vee is totally practical. Ive 3 kids and not had a problem yet. Of course our other 7 seater does help ;) Also bought a buggy for the little un which in theory fits behind the front seats (courtesy of some pre-purchase measurements from Mike) tho to be honest I havent actually needed to do...

Yep ... on in both my and the missus car.

But youre not quite as old as me Mike ;) Both born in 1915, but my birthday is in January :D

Errr ... thatd be irony then ;)

Slow ... and rather common I find too!!

Used fat from the chip shop with some octane booster.

When its busy then it takes concentration to use and so I tend to revert to the "old fashion way" with the go pedal. However, in moderate traffic and below its great ... dial in 70 mph and let the car drive itself :o

Yep ... is good!

So you did get it! I sat by the phone waiting for a message all day ... just like a concerned grandparent waiting for news of a new grandchild ... :p 4 wheels then? Glad youre enjoying it ... and yep cruise control is positive addition!

My wife point blank refuses to drive my car!! Im not pushing the point ;)

No

Way cool ... top video Nik. Kids enjoyed that one too!

PMSL ... catching up on the Brands videos sat on the bed with my boys. "Daddy, why cant Tom drive like that" .... look thats why :D

About 19:30 ... cant remember the name of the road but its the one that joins Hursley Road where the Renault garage used to be. Nice looking Williams! Gave you a wave and you waved back. Was on my usual Friday night trip to top up with Optimax on the way home from work :)

Hmmm would say MB ... but given her road rage incident tonight seems unlikely shed have gone via Eastern Road.

Well old blokes like me and Mike like Perry Como. Subs make his voice sound great :D

Oooohhhh ... hadnt thought of that! He was a gorgeous looking slack jawed yokel in a rusty maroon Escort. * Runs to get coat and head off in a Winchester direction * :p

Ok ... so it was smoked mirrored window down the central axis of your car ... with you looking in another mirror angled at ... Dude youre working too hard (try work avoidance like me :p) and your hallucinations are getting worse!

Sure it wasnt a smoked mirrored window ;)

Ditto ... main thing that affects where I park is my fear of scraping my alloys (again :oops:) and the ability to get back out of the space given the turning circle. Had to parallel park up in the Oxford the other day and thought Id kerbed the other side ... arrghhh ... but must have been a...

I just ignore them ... and sit there smugly cruising along with the Vee just ticking over. Did have the a funny staring incident this morning tho. Came up to end of my favourite race track on the way to work. Comes to a cross roads with a tiny bit of dual carriage way. Look right ... was...

Howdy mate ... Im still smiling too :D
