    MY car at FCS '08?

    I had the usual gander at your car Chris - average as per usual. ;) I think in my Top 3 of CS cars (in no order) - yours is there, along with that white RS and of course - Middos. All look the nads in their own way. :approve: D.

    My usual French Car Show pics

    Was your's the black Meg with the Salford sticker on the bonnet? Looked at that and it made me laugh - nice touch. :) Good pics Lee - good to see you again, if only briefly! The V6 mob wanted to get going... D.

    Had an accident in work van, do i need to inform clio insures ?

    Me neither - though 'technically' I can see why they might want to know. D.

    Latest Issue Performance Car - 197 at the Ring

    A flamer comment - but I cannot believe how much better the white 197 looks with the spoiler on the back. It literally transforms the rear from a mundane, plain and fat-ass hatch in to something that looks good. It's weird - as an optical illusion, it almost appears to lower the car a bit as...

    A bit harsh for to call your gf that, m8? ;) D.

    improving cold air feeds on standard ph2 172

    Wasn't there a thread(s) regarding the fact that changing the CAF alone won't give you any benefits - in fact it could decrease your mpgs as the ECU tries to match the extra air with extra fuel input? I thought these things only gave benefits if you went down the route of full remaps, etc...

    Steering Wheel Rubber Grips

    Could these be superglued back on? Or would it likely melt through the rubber completely? One has started peeling off on mine. :( D.

    172 insurance quote

    I'd rather have the Blackburn postcode of where I work, than be tagged with the Bolton postcode of where I live! To the OP - are you sure those aren't quotes for a V6 and the insurance people are just being stupid? Even if that premium was for a V6 - that's still sky high. When you smacked...

    ****** 36000 service advice please *****

    Ah, that's nothing. I did the 256mile trip each way to RenTech for my 24k service. ;) 50 miles is nothing for peace of mind. I'll be doing 61mile each way to Birchdown this Thursday for my 182's 48k service... D.

    Anyone know much about memory-card camcorders?

    Just in terms of what's good - what needs to be a feature on the camera - what's crap, etc? Not interested in the HDD cameras or DVD. And tape most definitely has had its day - lol. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Anyone actually got one/used one? Cheers, D.

    plasma or lcd tv?

    To be fair, I remember way back in the early days of plasma TVs in the late 90s. We had various corporates wanting to buy extended warranties for their £6k+ boardroom telly's. Not one manufacturer back then would offer it - regardless. You got your stock 12 months cover and that was it. They...

    IBM's 'small' PC

    http://www.itweek.co.uk/itweek/news/2218619/ibm-roadrunner-flies-petaflop Surprise - they are using AMD instead of Intel. No surprise - that they are using Linux instead of MS stuff. D.

    Linux audio apps?

    Looks good. I may even nab that for Windows too. Cheers m8. D.

    Linux audio apps?

    Has anyone got any recommendations for audio apps for Linux? Running on Ubuntu? Cheers, D.

    sport badges

    You don't really need the hairdrier to remove the badge. Best bet is just a length of dental floss - works a treat. And as others, the new RS badging already has adhesive on the back. If you're matching the new RS badge up to the Clio badge on the other side of the boot - you need to lower...

    Have the DNA results proved that though? I thought they were still undetermined between animal, vegetable or mineral? D.

    Today's triple spot...

    Silver 172 parked outside BT Showcase (next door to Harley Davidson) in Stockport. Blue '51 172 next to the petrol station at Tesco's, Rochdale. '52 plate 172 Cup at the lights, at the junction - top of Queens Park Road, Heywood.No stickers on any of them. ;) D.

    Two 182's. One nice. One driven by a cnut.

    Surely you wouldn't be that evil? Jade Goody - clinical proof that every man on the planet would turn gay, should she be the only woman left. Either that, or I'd lop off my own todger and eat it before it got anywhere near that. D.

    182 "rasp"..

    Oh, so true. :dapprove: The potential was there and instead, they muted the poor bloody 2.0 to having the spine-tingling audio clarity of an asthmatic koala bear, blowing out a raging bush fire...... through a straw. D.

    182 Insurance Problem

    ^^^ - The Quote of this Thread. At 33, I can still get ring-stung off the insurers. Postcode plays a massive part in your premium too. Hang in there though - it does get better. This year is the first year where I've had Evo quotes for sub-£1k. Which although I would despise in paying, is...

    What? She knows of the 4G63? Is she single? :cool: D.

    Two 182's. One nice. One driven by a cnut.

    Could have been worse - the old dear could have got really confused and mentioned something along the lines of "VTEC" and "YO!". Wrong type of car, nan... ;) D.

    Project : 182 turbo

    Take the turbo badge off the boot, imo - keep it more stealthy until the boost kicks in. ;) D.

    5gtt project

    Looking forward to the end results - looks like you're really commited! :) Just a question on the rear arches (I know nowt about the R5's btw). Are they normally that 'high' up before the rear arch skirt goes on? D.
