No one is comparing the 197 and V6 in car terms, just making the comparison that a mk2 V6 would now be cheaper to buy than a 197 (sans discount), which is pretty amazing. I'll be the first to admit, I wanted a Trophy.....but I just couldn't find one in red. ;)

Well at least 2 of those facts are true.

That's the whole point - people here are realising they can buy a far superior, premier league car for the same money.

Should have kept is Silver though, yellow doesn't suite the Carrera GT - still, if you've got the money....

Yeah, shows up the orange peel paintwork a treat! ;) Good photos Rich - nice to see you snapped my car in the morning :approve:

The only thing I want from that car is the seats (recaro or standard, both very nice), otherwise I'd buy a Trophy or V6. If it had to be a new car, Focus ST. Simple.

Your car always seems to break down there ;)

^^^ that picture makes me dribble

Did you catch the little car that drove over it?

Well done, good choice - you must be tired out after a week of that much excitement...!!!!!! ;)

Top Spin 2 is fun, and Saints Row + Testdrive will be out in September. Forza 2 before 2007....think of it as a long-term investment ;)

From those 3 inferior colours: black > red > blue ;)

Nice Dan, looks good. How's the ride? Sure you don't want 3 degrees negative camber, imagine the turn-in!! ;)

On the contrary, we weren't comparing the two cars on anything other than speed.

Exactly - diesels are great at lazy great lumps of torque, but in flat-out comparisons with higher bhp/ton petrols its just not going to help much (if they're both in the peak power band). In December get yourself a V6 - best of both worlds ;)

Cheers Fred - I thought the discs were 330mm x 30mm though....

Evo magazine timed the FF182 at 0-60 in 6.6 seconds and the 182Cup at 6.5 seconds - so might as well use these if we're not talking manufactures figures. Your 120d: Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 220 Weight without Driver (KG) : 1399 Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 159.78 Clio 182 (FF)...

You sure?

Where is the cheapest place to buy brake discs for the V6? Renault mark the price up a lot, and I believe they're around £300 a disc. Perhaps we could have some prices for OEM discs from GDI, Yozza, etc.? Cheers, Mike

I think they say that because most people drive along @ 50mph in 5th and not 3rd and don't want to always redline the car to go quickly. Sometimes you do, sometimes you don't. One needs two cars doesn't one!

Geoff, I have a Scenic with the 1.5dci in 106bhp form - do you have a map available for these yet? Can't find one anywhere.....

Didn't have that problem either, I could have sat in my 'engine bay' while fitting them ;) :rasp:

Always preferred Tomy over Fisher Price.

If you don't get the new shocks, you can have the pair for £20 :)

Hoping sidelights will be a bit easier to fit with no engine in my engine bay ;)

Just setup my Netgear DG834G - so simple to configure (can tell they're not owned by Cisco ;)) and looks the nuts; like something Apple would produce (except its actually useful in the real-world).

Nope, my LLU is enabled with Bulldog though - so I'm guessing it won't be too long now?

Do we need offset or opposite pin fitment for the indicator bulbs? (assume its the same front / back?)

Netgear 834G turned up this morning - 18 hours to arrive via Dabs, now that's good service. Noticed the box mentions ADSL2 - will it handle it without any extras?

^^ that sounds like one of the worst ideas I've ever heard.
