must say was good to see the three of them disappear into the distance. That feckin CTR fecking FLEW the 1st time up the hill.
Got to say though that the 172 looked the most menacing coming up behind me due to the superb lights!
Didnt get to see much of the return leg cos my car refused to...
they have a bloody scooby up here (well in Middlesborough). It aint fair......
If you wanna find out ho wmuch traffic cops are hated just ask a normal cop, they are hated by their own!
coming back from doing a BIG shop @ Asda, had a little Cinquecento Sporting. There wasnt enough room for everything in the boot so I put most on the back seat..
Nissans factory is less than a mile from my house and I drive past it to get home. Just outside its main entrance there is a set of...
I would be up for a meet in the Newcastle area. Just gimme a shout. If you need some quiet but fun places to meet where there are no boy racers etc I have a few in mind ;). Saturday would be best for me as working Friday :(.
Just mail me mailto:karlcdawson@aol.com">karlcdawson@aol.com with any...
one thing I can say is I have had to use the ABS twice now to avoid a car and a three year old little girl! Both times the car has acted perfectly and really helped in what could have been a BIG accident. First time with the car I actually thought I had hit him and just not realized the car went...
wait until your Clio hits about 12k and it starts to free up, at about 10K most people start to notice it loosening up a bit. When I first got it I HATED it, was soooo slow
ouch of curiosity, what did you loose your liscence for? Just seems alot of people I know have lost theirs in the last 6 month or so. The dreaded speed camera to blame on most of them....
we have a private site for Newcastle modders which I visit regularly, then its car-torque and a couple of cruise sites (getting sick of cruise sites tbh)
mmmmmmmmmmm, V6 in red, now my bank manager is going to have a heart attack! (and the wife will be sharpening the knife!)
Definately think the Blue and Red look better cos ALL the V6s seems to be silver. Thats why I want a dark blue 172, cos they all appear to be black or silver. I like to be...
second hand set of what? turinis? btw, all cars should have seventeens on if it has been made in the last 5 years (all cars before that look better on 15s, imho) seems cars now are designed with HUGE arches to accomodate small refugee camps and immigrants :p
alternator. Possibly a bad earth on the stereo and getting feedback kinda noise?
Or something else.......................................................dunno what though
mine has a slight "clonk" when changing direction quickly over uneven surfaces, dont really care. If it breaks Ill refit standard springs, take it to renault and make them fix it! lol.
Just turn the stereo up and drive so fast you havent got time to listen to strange creaks and groans!
yeah I noticed this a while back, took the renault mechanic out to show him (scared the crap out of him!) and he said its the brake distribution thingy keeping the car in a perfect straight line (as best as possible). You have to make sure tyre pressure is identical on both wheels though cos...
there aint no way I can catch/beat a Vtr/Vts, but on proper twisty roads I ca stick to their arse like glue! Really annoys them, hehehehehe.
The 1.2 16v is a slow car, there arent any arguements to say it isnt. It just aint as slow as alot of other cars in its class.
One thing to try...
get some ampd components and then a 10" sub, you will be impressed. I ran that setup for 2 years before upgrading. Dont bother with rear speakers at all, they are only there for fill really. If you can afford some (and I dont know the prices) try some Focal components cos they just get better...
thats ok, you walk in take your keys, pay £160 and leave. Their fault, simple as. The more we lie down to bad service in this country the more it will continue.
Can beat all Saxos up to but not including the VTR and VTS.
Corsas are my arch nemisis atm, can beat all of them bar the GSI and there are now 2 fecking 1.4 sports that are pretty close tbh, if not faster. I think its only the fact that I can corner that is making me keep up with them.
Never...
they are a good little car. raced one in the Astra the other day and had he not bogged down he would have won easily as caught up fairly quick. Mind u I was canning the knackerd off mine to stay ahead ;)
Think the Dci 80 could be a true street sleeper with 105bhp and loads of torque, might...
