My argument would be this. If you have any remote interest in the 182, get it. No doubt it will be taxed to oblivion at some point for having a 'dirty' 2.0litre N/A lump and even the very best, mothballed cars are well past a decade old. Grab one while you still can, imo.

Love New York - it's probably the only city other than Vancouver that I've visited and could easily see me moving to. We last went in January - brilliant blue skies and proper cold - which suited me perfectly! Did you manage to get anywhere near the USS Intrepid at all? For those that aren't...

After a dozen laps with the XBone pad on the PC - managed to get into the 1.16's. As standard, with no course line, etc.

I'll say again about the epicness that is northern Scotland. Book a few days off work - make a long weekend of it and the roads are yours. Get up there around now - up to early May and you avoid the tourist trains of coaches. Honestly, I spent the majority of my time in the 70-80mph zone without...

Brilliant road - but isn't it riddled with speed cameras/traps these days?

Great - another one I'll be crap at! :)

Does look lovely in white. As already said - Renault missed a trick there in having the 182 available in that colour.

You use FAR more curb than I do - I'm sub-consciously concerned about the 'Invalid Lap Time' prompt appearing from running a bit too wide! Awesome time there though. Your car seems to drift more in the corners than mine with a pad too.

A bit extreme, but you could get the replacement kit for a tenner - it clearly shows the rubber washers too... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1998-clio-wiper-motor-and-linkage-/201869176362?hash=item2f00572e2a:g:XLEAAOSwXYtY2UNQ

No worries Leo. Been there and done that myself - thought it worth sharing the knowledge! :)

Probably the one area of the Clio that I'm most familiar with - I've had that wiper linkage in and out and swapped over about 6 times in total! Worth getting some grease on the replacement swivel points while you're at it. Another word of advice - make sure that the linkage lines up with the...

Not sure. But I'm more impressed that your Clio is clearly a time machine. "September 2017?"

I'm struggling breaking 51 secs with the pad and default setup.... Feels like it has all the delicacy of input, on par with a sledgehammer. Definitely think I'd be sub-50 if I brought oout the G25.

I'll get a time up (hopefully later tonight) - on PC with an XBox One pad. This should be comical....

Love the work and effort put into this car. It looks fresh, clean and purposeful. Of course, being a Scoob (and my personal preference) - you could always go for much bigger mudflaps - but at least you've made a start! :tongueout: Just reading through some of the recent purchases you've made...

Would have to be the go-to car for anyone interested in a new performance saloon. They look stunning.

Got the starter pack on PC. Quite interesting - reminded me a little of the hostage rescue mission on CS, when playing the terrorist hunt mode. Tried it on solo first. Died three times, then on the fourth attempt I extracted the hostage after stopping 22 of her abductors. Although I expect it...

Just ordered some stuff from CarPro with the discount applied - cheers @gally :up:

FLOL! Definitely one to bear in mind! :smile:

Cheers lads, Iron-X is totally safe on the paintwork too, I guess? Just a shame it stinks!

Chaps, Prior to claying after washing the car - are there any products that you recommend to remove the bulk of tar spots and other contaminants, that could literally be rinsed off after a few minutes? Is the straight-forward AG Intensive Tar Remover up to the task? Or are there better ones...

Excellent work all round, Mr. Mossy! Your dedication knows no limits! :smile:

I still think a lot has to do with the online running of BF1 for me - in particular with the netcode. I certainly didn't get the Hulk-Smash feelings at all, when playing through the campaign mode. I'm averaging around 10mbps on my broadband - certainly more than enough to support the lesser...

It is interesting with the bullet dynamics in this game. As @Gouldy says - when I was playing it, I simply couldn't find anything that clicked with me. The recoil, the low ammo count, the bizarre situation where you would get more accurate the longer the gun was firing, etc. Take a total...

Base building makes an RTS for me. It seems to have fallen a bit out of favour recently - instead having the players rely on powerful individual units.

Realistically, what would the people involved in stealing this, likely to receive if all of them were caught? It's a risk/reward balance - and unfortunately the Police are limited to what maelstrom of s**t they can bestow on people who rob cars. Not wanting to sound in anyway that these scroats...

They do have superb presence on the road. Even more special when someone actually knows what it is - and not merely a Clio with a bodykit!

I had the rather "wow - I'm impressed / really?" situation just last night on the way home, when my wife was asking about blipping the throttle on the downshifts. She said she's tried it a few times (when I'm not in the car) but doesn't think she's getting it right. Pretty much every set of...

Have you rinsed/steam-washed your engine recently? Been there - done that, with exactly the same symptoms. Those spark plug pots are like the perfectly shaped champagne flutes for holding and trapping water. That said, it did sound good to be a Scooby for a short while.....

I'm interested in removing & cleaning the rear rubber from my 182. Is it simply a process of taking your time and being gentle with it? Or did you use any specific tools? Cheers, D.
