Jeremy can drive, you on the other hand prefer to drive on the wrong side of the rumble strips.
I was referring to a 225 Trophy anyway and they are not easy at all, on the straights they are away!
LOL, theres me praising you in the V6 thread saying you are the only one I know who can drive a V6 well on track and you go and stab me in the back.
If only I had video evidence of me keeping up with you in the 225 with me in the 182 and a passenger around brands, that would keep you quiet;)
when i enquired about a 225 test drive at my local dealer they saidi couldnt take it over the speed limit and if I drove it fast they would kick me out and I would have to walk home so I told them to stick it and test drove it properly at brands on track!
i agree with you Nik, a bit of healthy rivalry never hurt anyone and it is exactly right what you say about the people who seem to think they can have an opinion on something without even trying or driving it.
I never said a work about the Trophy on here until I had driven it as I would be...
im with you on this one pete, finally someone else who doesnt think the sun shines out of the Trophys arse!
I wouldnt say i was disappointed though, just thought it was no different from my 182, we had been stick together though as Team Trophy will be along to do us in;)
So is that it then, we have come to a conclusion, the 182 is faster than the V6 unless it is a traffic light GP (which is obviously illegal anyway) so the 182 wins especially on track (unless JT is driving that is as he is a nutter and doesnt have to pay for his car anyway!)
Yey!!!:p

actually he did like the 182, he said the interior and seating position were poor but the handling and fun of the car more than made up for it.
The 182 is positioned on the cool wall at the very right of cool nearly overlapping the line for sub-zero so I think thats pretty good!
He didnt...

14.7 is actually quite a good 1/4 mile time I ran a 15.00 at FCS but Im sh*t at 1/4 miling I thought a 14.8 would be possible especially if the stupid ASR would switch off above 35mph which the standard meg doesnt. Soon to be sorted on mine...

Fair play Steve, but remember the price of an RS Clio. Im unsure if youve lived with one, but if you have youll know that you cant go faster for less...which will explain the love of them on here ;)

submarining is when you have an acident and you slip downwards in the seat so it stops that, the magane sport hatch has anti-submarining front seats to combat the same problem, at least this is how i understand it.
i had mine replaced recently but it was faulty from the start.
They told me it was 8 hours just to take the clutch out as they have to remove the gearbox but in the end they managed to change the clutch in a morning and i had the ccar back in the afternoon the same day.
