Drop me a pm tomorrow.

I share a unit with a very experienced Renaultsport mechanic. He’s extremely well known on the trophy forum too. In fact I have 3 clio’s Up at my unit that he’s working on. If you want his number i’ll Gladly pass it on. (We’re in Soundwell, BS16)

My painter now works in the bodyshop I work in and unfortunately I can not recommend them. A good honest bodyshop yes, but all the staff are paid poorly and bonuses are heavily based on volume and speed and you want someone that takes care and pride in their work. A smaller outfit for sure...

My BMW; she likes it. My van; she loves it. And drives it at any opportunity. Scoob; hates it and has never even sat in it. Clio; she doesn’t even know Ive still got it. She has no interest in cars and can’t fathom why I’m so obsessed with them.

Is that yours?!

Chris? Jamie?

That's lovely. If I didn't have 11 sodding cars already I'd be messaging him. A tidy exclusive is the only clio sport that could tempt me back in to a Renault I think. I'd love that as a daily driver.

Lush! I'm hoping to buy a 2010 325d Touring this week.

I loved mine. Of all the cars i've owned, it's the only one I really miss I think.

I stole it. So I can smash you in the face to stop you snoring next time I'm camping with you!

Wasn't his T18 TWO? (I owned it at one point so you'd think I'd know... but I don't, clearly)

That will be a mechanical fuel pump operated by timing, controlled by electrics. I had a similar issue with a transit. My mechanic did try and explain it but I lost interest! Lol No issues like that on a clio though, Ancillaries off, Old engine out, new engine in, ancillaries on. Bosh.

197 won't do 40mpg. Not unless all you do is drive down hill. Probably the most fun when pushing on out of your options. Build quality is average. Megane; reliability engine wise is pretty good providing it's not been mapped and hammered. Electrics and window reg's are problematic though...

That is dreadful workmanship, absolutely appalling. And to charge £120 to fit it is nothing short of a total rip off. I'd be looking for a new 'mechanic' to work on your car in future. I wouldn't let him top up my screenwash the 2 bob pirate.

Where were you sleeping prior to your own tent??

I find anything funny in the welsh accent, I love it. A man could tell me his cats just died and I'd laugh! Lol

Mate apart from a pair of shorts, I was wearing everything I took and I was still f**king frozen. 3 t-shirts, a jumper, a tracksuit top and a hoodie! Lol It just seemed to go Baltic at about 10.30pm.

Mooched about until about 9am, Got showered and ready, watched about an hour of the morning session, went and cooked some bacon/sausage sandwiches, then went on the go karts, then walked around the cars on display, then had lunch, then went on track lots in the afternoon, then drank some beers...

One of the nicest people on CS, and along with the 05 plate inferno on silver Turinis, one of my favorite Clio's of the day.

Sorry. Not sorry.

The feeling is not mutual.

I'm not packed. I am still at work. I need to go to Wales (ffs!) to pick my mate up who's coming. The car is not on the trailer. The trailer is blocked in down the garage. I still need to shave my head (bic, takes ages) and do a bit of shopping. We've no idea where the tent is and I can only...

Remove the whole lot. ECU, UCH, all the wiring everything. Fit standalone engine management and wire up all of your electrical components etc with dedicated switches in a panel. Makes life so much easier and gets rid of the problematic ECU and UCH. And if you ever change your car, you can...

You do know I live in Bristol, right??

I've camped with you many times over the years. You smell like shame. And feet.

There's a reason why you smell like you do Dave.

I'm a twice a day man. But on occasions like this I'll make an exception and drop to one per day. Reluctantly. If there were no showers, I wouldn't be going!

I'm afraid of no man....

Bodyclock and sleeping in a tent means I'll get next to zero sleep. Plus I've got cub in my tent so I'll be crushed like wee mouse.

Cool. See you at 6.
