Looks beautiful as always Steve, a credit to you

Looks lovely that

Just under 140k. It's probably done less than £1k in the last year though!

That was my reasoning too to be honest. At the time I was using it as a daily for quite a long commute and the Ktec did nothing but hurt my ears and make people look at you like you were filth. I'm sure the likes of PMS are lovely but, for around 100 notes, the Klarius did what I needed it to do!

If you've seen most Ford driver's girlfriend's, I think they're more likely to punch the blokes in the face...

I used to do a 100 mile round trip to work in my 172 Cup 😂 At the time it didn't bother me that much, just got used to it but, once I got a new car, I could never go back to a 172 as a daily. Don't get me wrong, I still love the Clio and it puts a smile on my face every time I drive...

Depends on the woman?

PMS certainly market their exhaust as being quiet. My 172 had a Ktec Supersport stealth when I bought it and I binned it for a Klarius OEM one from ECP. The centre box broke up within a few weeks, but had a new one under warranty and it's been fine since. The Ktec is just ridiculous though...

You're not wrong! The bummer is that I have just had my ex-works Escort shell repainted. It's going to need to be log-booked at some point, but wasn't going to be done before the cut-off date, so I now might have to have the cage modified, which will kind of ruin the originality of it. Good old MSA.

This week, I have received the following email from Safety Devices: "The October 2017 MSA bulletin details new requirements for Roof and Windscreen Pillar Reinforcement in vehicles competing in Stage Rallying. The full amendment can be downloaded from our website. We have also produced a...

I would have punched the woman in the face. I cannot stand people that do that. Just because you don't give a s**t about your own stuff, at least have the decency to be careful with other people's things. I would be mortified if I damaged someone else's car and would sell my own car if I...

And presumably you'll be starting the hair dressing business around the same time? :tongueclosed:

What wheels are those?

Looks nice that. Aero catches are probably a bit overkill for a road car though.

Some decent cars in this budget that are much newer than some of what has been suggested. Things have moved on a LOT from the old S3/LCR... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F292079979896...

Octavia vRS? The 2.0 one, not the 1.8. For £4k are you getting into the newer Leon too? Those S3s look ancient now. Couldn't bring myself to spend £4k on one. If you're not that bothered about performance but wanting a nicer car to live with, I'd be wanting something newer than an A3 from the 90s.

The technology will undoubtedly become more widespread, not that wealth guarantees mad skills of course. Once they're being driven by make-up applying, ditzy women and oblivious middle aged folk, carnage is almost guaranteed.

That's it. Features like this are great for responsible drivers. The problem is, most drivers are just not even close to responsible. If they were as common as a Fiesta, I do have to wonder how many incidents there would be. Interesting times anyway.

Quite. The problem with this is that it is just another way that the driver can pay less attention. While he should focus on the road ahead and be ready to take control, how many mongs are going to pay next to no attention and mess with the iPad thing? Calling it Autopilot probably wasn't the...

Calm down dear, it was a turn of phrase. Besides, as I recall, it was the car that drove under a truck, not the person in it. Should he have been paying more attention? Abso-f**king-lutely but, as I posted above, it makes me question whether the tech is r****d proof yet. As I recall, Tesla...

One killed a guy in the US didn't it? Drove him under a truck? Impressive, but not sure the technology is mature enough to be encouraging people to let go of the wheel yet, especially with the number of mongs on the road. They do seem to be chucking a lot of free stuff at people at the moment...

It does make me laugh that people keep telling us how evil people are if they date to use a mobile phone in their car, while car manufacturers are busy sticking massive bloody touchscreens in the dashboard. Totally mental. That's precisely why it's cool. They haven't done what BMW did with the...

Are you off the Meg forum by any chance? Getting a VIN shouldn't be an issue. If it's the Clio, adding lights etc is easy enough. Big question is if it would need an IVA, but the DVSA could probably advise on that. The things that may concern me with an IVA are noise, emissions and stupid stuff...

I can see the argument. With the rear beam being stiff (relative to the ARB) and with stiff spring rates, the effectiveness of the ARB will be limited. My personal feeling (I was an engineer once upon a time, albeit not so much in the ride and handling area) is that I would rather use a softer...

My rally car has both. I've not tested it on a misted screen yet, but the T7 heater I've fitted sounds a bit weedy, so I have no idea how well it will work. Heated screen usually clear quickly though, so that would be my preference I think.

I've just bought two SJCams, the box in the listing does look like mine. SJCam have a store on Amazon. I bought mine direct to avoid complications

It's ok Steve, I agree with you. It looks a million times better on the Turinis. But then I don't like the standard wheels anyway 😂

Looks lovely Steve, minty fresh

How many times does he want to say sketchy?

I would never do anything to alter how a diesel engine sounds to be honest. They sound a bit pants as standard but, as soon as you start modifying the exhaust/intake, they sound 1000% worse. The number of modified VAG diesels round my way, they just sound tragic. Remaps and the like I 100%...
