so Shorty, do you not really own that gorgeous brown Allegro then? Im well gutted. g

lol

dan, are you sure you saw an A reg Cossie - they came out in 1986, which is a C or a D. Golf GTi? Alfa Sud Ti was out before that...;) g

on the mk1, the side strip looks better in black than body colour, imho. g

Wouldnt use optimax for oil, no ;) g

Maltas not even in the EU! Reno!! g

doubt it. g

its semi-synth 5w 40, isnt it? g

You are joking arent you? They havent really called a car a Billabong, have they? g

if you put you hand in boiling fat, it will hurt. Thats useful information. Relatively, anyway. :confused: g

matt, where are u based again mate? Im around, but I stay very local, at home/work area - dont use the car that much at the weekend as I tend to cycle a lot (hence why i enjoyed this weekends drive) RT-Ed; yup, Ive had some entertaining blasts down the by pass....;) g

maybe its Slayers car? ;) g

so, today I had a few errands to run. Before I started, I checked the oil level, all nice and correct, then nipped down to the petrol station to check/pump the tyres (33psi f, 31psi rear - good combo) then nipped into Egham to brim with OptiMax and some petrol treatment stuff, then onwards...

theyve paid shed loads for a car they thought might be interesting to drive. g

Four miles to work, then half a mile to the shop for a sarnie, then a massive four miles home. As my car does nothing all day long, Im thinking of charging it rent, or making it pay its way. It cost me £x amount every month, and I hardly use it. Time to send the puppy out to earn its keep, I...

THE Austin Allegro! All bow! g

dont think any of us could live with how much your beaut will humble our cars if you turn up in that automotive heaven. To save our embarrassment Shorty, please dont ever bring it with you to a Clio meet. That would be cruel, even though it is a top, top car that not even Ferrari could have...

she sounds fart-tastic mate! A brown one. I am so dead jealous. Ur one feckin lucky stylish geezer dude. Respek man :)) g

astro turf is the business man! Make sure you douse the seats in turps, too as thatll not only sort the ride problem but will make it handle like a Scoobie. For real, mate ;) g

add some stickers, eat 27 porkpies and that should take you up to at least 4000bhp. Unless youve bought a blue one; they need to be disguised like a big chicken in order to get a similar effect. Hope this helps - all genuine tune-up tips from an old BL manual. g

i dont really like the V6 to be honest. My sister loves it; does nothing for me though. Prefer the R5 T2. Sorry. g

AutoExpress has a consumer problem page - might be worth mailing them instead of TopGear (TG will be less interested I think, but AutoExpress like a ruck). g

the reason i objected to paying £15k for the Clio is because its not a £15k car, IMHO. £11.5k yes, £15k, no. g

so, thats what that slight clonk is when I turn right into the office car park? Thats all I hear - nothing feels wrong as such (steering feels ok, rack feels ok)...just get the clonk. g

cheers Rob! :D g

sorry if this is a dumbass question, but is there a Cup version of the V6? g

well Ive ordered my demon tweaks catalogue so Ill see whats in there. Thanks chaps. g

yeah, and being minus a one touch passenger side window :) g

i really like the mirrors you get on mercs with the in built indicators. does any offer a nice version of these for the Clio? I know you can get a DTM style one with three cators stacked above each other (yummy) but I not keen on the DTM style when the rest of the car looks very road, not race...

Posted mine Friday past Stu, so well wait and see! g
