These crimper specials i would have thought to be within range of 172/cups for a bit of baiting....at least give em a good run for the money if not actually beat em? yet to have a duel with one only had the car a week. Its always more fun taking on supposedly better cars, you cant lose really...

are you going to correct the flatspot with the ECU upgrade, Philip? agree with everything you say, although i havent got bored with the acceleration yet, so not aching for more grunt yet! I downloaded Top Gears test of the Cup re Cooper S today which was very lukewarm towards the Cup, they...

cadwell park is a great little circuit

It just isnt cricket is it? Usually the cops tool around in very blandly liveried wauxhalls/fords/saabs. Cnuts.

remember the Williams fiasco? if it sells theyll make loads.

its a bloody good bbs but just a bit over moderated at times the best car one by far.

scoobynet, but its a bit pious, sanctimonious and boring apart from nonscooby related and other marques sections. Any discussion about racing on there gets flamed out by the PC brigade and then locked by the over zealous moderators.

Danny I looked at the one in Blackheath last week when I picked up my cup, very nice and they hinted theyd do a good deal on the price as the new one comes out to supercede it very soon.....

Got mine last Friday, im 35, done 850 miles, live south east london, insurance £1000 due to only 2 yrs no claims and london street parked. Previos cars in order recent to first, merc e300td integrale evo2 + punto td integrale evo1 pug gti 1.9 (two in a row) put 540 miles on her...

thanks for all the encouragement ... It is excellent, not done much today - working all morning - but got a near 400 mile round trip to York on Monday so thatll get the running in out oif the way. Clutch bites a bit high BTW.

Hi folks! put 135 miles on her yesterday pm/eve. initial impressions: seats good actually but driving position not so for 62", gear lever too far away, plus wheel not optimum, but overall not too bad, just not as good as my old pug 1.9. kept below 4000 revs, below 3500 for first 100...

Ha that sounds like it!

feel like a kid at Xmas - woke at 530 am. hope it is worth it. Should be ready after lunch but Im gonna phone em and see if I can get my mits on it earlier. whats the running in advice? other threads are inconclusive on the search, but the salesman when I ordered it reckoned you didnt even...

...but all the hostility is coming from non-cup owners....smacks of jealousy to me. Who cares a feck, as far as cars go Renault Clios are not very far from the bottom of the tree. If people were getting so wound up over the difference between an F40 and 911 GT2 then i might understand!!

Yaaaaaaaaawn

Serious problems with humourlessness and aggression on this BBS. No need to jump down the throats of those whose opinions differ.

i might be a rally driver... ..and believe me with London roads you fly over loose gravel a hell of a lot of the time! do F1 cars have ABS? not sure but I dont think so , whether that is just rules or choice I m not sure. All i m trying to say is that ABS is not necessarily the...

if ABS is so good why do the world rally cars not have it? - precisey for the reasons i state above.

i cant stand ABS on any car, on poor broken and bumpy urban surfaces it comes in far too much and you end up with no retardation at all for what seems like an age, nearly been in the back of people because of it, if it had locked up normally the braking distance would certainly have been...

they may improve once scrubbed in - some tyres have a compound coating them which once gone shows their true grip how new are they?

Yea Im certainly going to run it in and get the full measure of the car prior to ECU upgrade, probably do 5000 miles first.

Hi ! ordered a Cup day before yesterday - delivery 15th April, cant wait :) What is the latest about the ECU upgrade - the sales rep didnt have a clue! Adrian
