id still quite like a Volvo S60 Turbo with BBS wheels. g

looking mighty sporty there, Rod! ;) :D g

oh, brake calipers - i thought you meant youd painted the other sort. :confused: g

Clio McRae? Clio Burns? Clio Ragnotti? Clio Pastachutta? Clio Cup! g

Ragnotti is a pasta? g

"The 172 mk2 is on fly by wire throttle and you do not always get the throttle butterfly fully open when you give full throttle on the pedal. The ecu controls your engine now not you." yes, this could be the cause. If i acc very hard suddenly while already cruising along, the engine growls...

Simon, thank you for that; thats pretty interesting. I had G/year Eagle Venturas (which preceeded the F1, I think) on my Golf - I just kept buying them all the time as they were so good in the wet, and very good in the dry so I was pretty set on sticking with what I thought i knew and could...

"Oh someone said recently that the f1s were crap" bugger. g

you cheapskate pikey Rob! :o :D truth be told, the same thought did occur to me, but I really want to try new Eagle F1s (plus i like unmarked spare for when i sell) g

LOL, but Im not that hard on them - Mon - Friday I poodle along to work at 40mph/50mph. At the weekend, ok, I let the car fly, but I dont wheelspin, I dont drift round corners or r/abouts...just the usual amount of safe fun. But then I guess the engines quite heavy and that probably has a...

my contis lasted 9k, _KDF. Is that being easy on them? :D g

...some near legal limit front tyres + a damp road + a bit too much sudden power = easy tiger! :o ;) :D g

whats with the SLK thing under your stars Rob? Got a new toy? g

are the seats in the clios all the same except for the material used? They all look the same shape - unless im wrong the 172 doesnt have any additonal support apart from the lumbar adjustment? g

Autocar is a joke, IMHO. They change their mind every 30seconds. Still want that Cooper Type-R? We drive the Cadburys Creme Egg - the new hot hatch king. on the Alfa site, we predict their Alfa reviews with frightening accuracy, from the ecstatic first drive in Italy to the group test in the...

the same thought occurred to me; as you say, if you have an EU import, youre only claiming whats rightfully yours. g

2 mile race? thats a stupid idea! a 3 mile race is much better ;) :D g

Guys - dont despair yet. Check your warranty book for the stamp. My service book is not stamped, but my warranty book is stamped by the dealer in Paris. I copied my warranty stamp and sent that in and Reno granted me the extended warranty. Hope this helps - good luck, g

yes, ive been surprised by a cougar before. on the straights he was close, corners he was not. g

Paul, Im with you but....if youre gonna get a serious whipping for nicking a mag, you may as well rob the whole shop. Then kill the owner, to prevent him from identifying you. Appropriate punishment is whats needed. Im also royally sick of ah, but little jonny never had any lolipops when he...

fact - something proven scientifically or, I believe, legally. thats MY RED car for instance An opinion is just an opinion, unless it is supported by a fact. and no, i wouldnt. and certainly not with an ugly one. g

Lee, maybe foolishly, I sent them the originals as i thought if i didnt it would be another reason to delay the process of my request or to decline it. PM me your address and Ill send you the reno letter. my letter to them went summit like: dear xxxx re: warranty upgrade on imported...

i know, i know... :oops: g

i truely, honestly, thought you wanted a girl to name your car for you. :oops: Mr Naive or what. g

yes mate, thats the one, with the name and address blocked out, plus my covering letter and all the docs they wanted. let me know if you need any other info. g

Ian P emailed me a letter from reno...its the one that was posted on here recently that states that imports DO qualify for the warranty upgrade. I sent reno the letter they sent ian/ian sent to me, then referred to the letter they sent Ian in the covering letter that I wrote asking for my...

Got the letter from reno 2day stating that my own car now has one year manuf warranty, and two year dealer warranty. RESULT!!! About a month ago, I sent in all my docs as requested PLUS, i sent a copy of the letter from reno that stated all EU imports reg after Oct 2000 (i think) qualified for...

"Talou-Verible" there must be a small irony in that if you say that name quickly, it sounds like Terrible. My, what a hive of activity my mind is! g

Youll get a brush off, I reckon. A para that contains the word solicitor and 21 days might invoke a better response. g

use the Batmobile again without permission and itll be Pow! Wham! and all that kinda stuff. ;) :D g
