Yeah it was pretty rough at Blyton Park. I was pleasantly surprised at the level of tyre wear the first time I went to Bedford (or maybe I was driving like a puppy!).

Lost all posts back to 20th April - must be a bad day for internet forums :cry:

lol! 15"s / slicks certainly cheaper than Exaltos in the long run if you do a lot of trackdays! If youre only doing the occasional one though theres no point.

You are going to use Exaltos for trackdays? You must be a wealthy man!

Just buy any old Renault wheel from a scrappy - one off a Megane will do fine. As long as its got a legal tyre it will do to get you home.

When I was in my early 20s I made a lot of dosh working as a freelance programmer (it was a long time ago!). So I bought a Porsche 911. I couldnt drive it to save my life - all over the place. I sold it after a few months - glad I did or Id have killed myself. Id have another one now (but...

Like most cars, they are really easy to break into. Your alarm should go off of course, but your average AA man will get into your car in a few seconds. The immobiliser makes a pretty good job of preventing it being driven off though. Welcome to the forum by the way :D

Presumably the arch lining is falling out - moving towards the wheel. Theres no way standard wheels would rub.

cant see why some would whistle and some not, unless theyre not fitted correctly :confused: Mine hum if theres a good tune on the radio :p

Asda have announced that all their stations will charge less than 80p a litre for diesel & unleaded from today.

Nice - I could definately live with that :D

It was hilarious - they both carved Val up while she was having her lesson - Ed was in the car at the time doing a slow lap to show her the lines. He just got on the radio and that was the end of that - no more driving!

Trackday organisers are getting very good at spotting idiots these days. Briefings are very thorough, and everyone knows where and how they are allowed to overtake. People who ignore the rules get black-flagged and sent home. This happened to at least 2 drivers at Pembrey last weekend (Caterham...

^^^ I would not rely on this approach :cry:

LMAO ^^^^ :D

As I said - very expensive and crap cover. I couldnt afford to do trackdays if I had to pay an extra £150 for insurance every time! Fair play to those who can though.

This comes up regularly at this time of year. 1. Unless you can get written confirmation from your insurance company that your policy covers trackdays you should assume that it does not. 2. Trackday specific policies are very expensive. As a general rule of thumb it will cost as much to...

Yes you can. Itll have a few miles on it but should still be a good car.

Good tip. I wonder why they make it so complicated though? A simple switch might have been better!

ditto 172s.

.... and after a few months theyll dribble water even when you dont want them to leaving you with a nice stain on your bumper :cry:

WA Lewis (Renault Main Dealer) in Telford will pick up and return your car no problem at all. Its a small thing but very important - I think the service from this dealer is one of the reasons that Telford is over-run with Clios!

I guess its because its a red one ;)

^^^ yup, Id want a lengthy Renault warranty for £10k.
