    76k high ?

    +1. If its had a fair amount of TLC, I'd rather pick a high miler than one at circa 50k with a patchy history at best. D.

    Piston Heads Shocker.

    It needs culling. If that Clio has any self control, it will drive itself off a high cliff - preferably one with a petrol station sat at the bottom. Too grim to live. All that effort. And for what? I just never, ever understand the heavy modding way of thinking. Chipped, split and ripped off...

    How can anyone afford to modify their car?!

    ^^^^ - both examples of pure insurance b****cks... "I've changed my filter" "That will be an extra £100 on your policy, sir." "I've changed my exhaust too" "That will be a further extra £100 on your policy, sir." "Oh, and this afternoon, I finished boring the block out to 2.2litres...

    Short Term Insurance

    As Sy said Sarah - have you tried your own company? There seems to be plenty of companies out there that offer such services though... https://www.tempcover.com/default.aspx?src=google Never used them, so I don't know if they are any good! D.

    How can anyone afford to modify their car?!

    Lol! The inner workings of the Mormons or the Cosa Nostra are more logical, straight-forward and predictable than insurance companies. I think they do that on purpose though. If it was easy for Joe Public to calculate on factors A, B and C, then anyone could work it out. Surely? Their 'theory'...

    Newbie - from Oz

    Welcome Scott - whereabouts in Oz are you? I bought the Mk3 badging for mine - does look better, imo. I think Renault themselves would supply it to you? Approx £20-£25? D.

    V6 Convoy After FCS08

    Meaning you were pressing the Go pedal a little bit more than us? ;) D.

    Is this normal for insurance

    Unfortunately m8, its happening everywhere. Spotted this last week... http://www.rs246.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=71339&sid=d3b85960f9b4f37a19b95fb0d232d155 ...and a high-ish risk car such as an RS just causes the insurers to panic a bit and start to add £ to the premium...

    Is this normal for insurance

    As I've said on numerous threads, his age will go against him, but the postcode will have a massive effect on it too. Tbf, the quote he got originally is very good for his age, considering the type of car that the 172 is. I was paying that on the 182 just 2 years ago and I'm 33. Nil points...

    Pic request - and shots of the white Evo VI from FCS?

    Spinning off more than once, or simply being beaten on the straight by that red 306? ;) D.

    Pic request - and shots of the white Evo VI from FCS?

    Sorry - 'ANY' not 'AND' shots...... Bloody mong. ;) D.

    .....anything at all? Cheers, D.

    3rd Nordschliefe trip this year...(56k NO WAY!!)

    That NSX looks superb! Good pics there - but WTF was that coach doing on track? Do they do some Japanese tourist excursions for the masses? D.

    Impressed with the results of EGP (inc. pics)

    ROFL! I do think that black gold it cursed from the outset though. I thought I did a good job in polishing it the last time, until I opened up the driver's door and saw the black gold door pillar inside. The difference was amazing. It looked really, really well on the pillar - clearly being...

    anyone here upgraded from 182 to 197?

    The 197's I've heard on full chat certainly sound better than a standard 182. The 182 sounds poo in standard trim. :dead: D.

    Thanks guys! (Trophy owners at FCS)

    Snap. I did exactly the same on mine - problem fixed. :approve: D.

    V6 Convoy After FCS08

    Lol - only when we opened 'em up, eh? ;) Lost track of the number of coaches and trucks that passed us. At least Mossy was doing his bit for Vee Owner-Truck Driver liasions. :) D.

    Willy "EJB" - end of Shadsworth, Blackburn

    Stuck in traffic at the roadworks on Shad. Anyone off here? D.

    Impressed with the results of EGP (inc. pics)

    ^^^ - as it's you doing the hijack, I'll let you off! ;) Looks stunning as well. How's life post B/G 182? Have you got any of the Pug posted up yet? Is the paint quality better/worse on the other Frenchie? D.

    3yr protection polished used today (pics)

    Nice finish there, tezza! Looks to be a very tidy Willy, that. D.

    Impressed with the results of EGP (inc. pics)

    Jain gave her Vee a bit of polishing love, the night before FCS. Not that it mattered by the time we got down there as it was full of crap again! Anyways, I've been indifferent to how EGP is on my car. It looked good on black gold, but never that good imo. With not a great deal of effort...

    anyone here upgraded from 182 to 197?

    This always intrigues me when driving different cars and whether or not this actually matters at all to me? I did a round trip (again) today from Blackburn to Wirral and back, in a works Mazda 6 TDi. It's miles more comfier than my 182, coasts along on the motorway with hardly any effort and has...

    My FCS Tracktime Video!

    Good vid m8 - track seemed really smooth and seemingly quite wide. Was the wind a problem with the car? I noticed quite a few drivers getting very close to the wall at turn 1 (?) - I was just hoping that the wind wouldn't drag them into the concrete! D.

    Project Sunflower

    As per yesterday m8, it looked stunning - and is one of my fave's on here. :) What were you using yesterday on the black bits? I forgot to ask. D.

    Black 182 Tesco Ryde IOW

    I'm surprised there is even you three on there. The IOW is tiny! :) D.

    V6 Chesterfield (Yellow)

    Lol! Sorry Glenn - I didn't think you were on here! :o Was it looking good in the sun? Matt's looked stunning at FCS with the bit of elbow grease he rubbed on it. D.

    V6 Chesterfield (Yellow)

    I think that's Glenn's car? Not sure if he's on here though? D.

    Great shots in there - love the up close 'technical' ones D.

    Few of my FCS pics

    That petrol blue 182 looks bland on here? Nothing like it does with my own eyes - truly gorgeous colour that. And rare! As usual, the Yellow Sub looks like you could serve it with a dollop of ice cream and eat it! :cool: D.
