    Mad prof. drives a Trophy.....

    A bloke looking none too disimilar to a certain Mr. Lloyd...... ...seen driving on the M65, eastbound. The Trophy reg started YH55, iirc? He did break 80mph at one point - but eased off before reaching 88mph. Damn. Anyways, the Trophy looked nicer than a De Lorean.....:cool: D.

    '51 silver 172 (with K&N sticker) - M65, Junc. 4

    Spotted it going up the sliproad this afternoon. I was a few cars behind (not in the 182). No CS sticker that I could see, but like I said, there was a K&N one near the Reno badge on the boot. Anyone? D.

    Bored of my 182...

    The 147GTA is a really, really nice looking car Tom. Good to hear that you're well aware of the 'potential' money pit that is the Alfa! I think they look superb - and not a common sight on the roads either. I'd certainly have one - so long as I could afford the petrol! D.

    Cheers Daz - thanks for that, m8! D.

    Microfibre fetish?

    Is it wrong for a bloke of 32 to have two carrier-bags full of microfibre?! Had a bit of a tidy-up this morning and I swear that these cloths have been breeding - I don't even remember where half of them came from! Maybe I keep seeing packs of them for sale and forget that I've already got...

    The CDs that come with a Macbook...

    ... are they unique to that Macbook specifically? I.e. - if we lost them, are we shagged? Or would other CDs from other Macbooks reinstall just as well? Haven't lost the originals (as yet!) - but just checking.... Cheers, D.

    hi....

    I like that bonnet vent - suits the colour and isn't OTT, imo. D.

    i would give a limb for these!

    I was going to say that they would look great on a white car - then saw the Scoob at the bottom. :cool: Me likey. D.

    182 only 24.4 mpg

    Aye - around 35mpg for me too. Have you reset the mpg-counter on it? Maybe the previous owner only did very short journies? D.

    Darren S

    Yup - I bet lowered, the car would look even better! I was actually in a Mazda-6 TDi when I saw Lee. I actually quite like it too. :o I must be ageing faster than I thought........ where's me pipe and slippers? D.

    KTR brakes installed, brake calipers painted, and black side repeaters as well!

    .....and SilvaTecs in the front units. The OEM indicator bulbs stand out SO much on black gold! D.

    Just needs another 800cc to get with it as well.... ;) D.

    '53 172 Cup in Nelson - approx 11.30am

    Anyone off here? On that little slip-road down the side of the Land Rover garage off Junc.12, M65. You were out of the car and heading for the postbox. D.

    Darren S

    Yup - it was me - on the way to Nelson to pick up some stuff. Not putting mileage on my car for works business - lol! Centre caps missing after the EBC brakes went on last weekend. Actually liking the look of it, tbh. H - stop being cheeky! Off to Subway today (compulsory Fat Bastrad...

    MacBook

    You've hit the nail on the head there. If it does what you want it to, then go for it! I'm increasingly liking Macs for what they can do and what they are capable of. Especially the Macbooks - and coming from a laptop-hater, that means a lot! Would I have a Mac? No. Simply because my PC...

    28 - Too Young

    Andy - be prepared to be shocked for a few more years yet, m8. I had some insurance companies turn me down in the last weeks of being 29 on my 182. In fact, I had to take out a 2-week cover note from a seperate company, to tide me over until I was 30! :eek: D.

    Black Gold 182

    LOL - if anyone offered me £6,050 for mine at 31k, I'd laugh in their face and tell them to stop wasting my time. Then again, the selection criteria covers a '01 172, through to '06 182 - very vague to say the least! D.

    Trophy In Great Harwood today...

    I see a Trophy everyday now as a bloke who's started work here, has one. I still get the horn with those Recaros. I wonder if he'd notice the swap-over to mine? ;) D.

    Any Cisco router specialists out there?

    Cheers for the feedback, chaps! I'm pretty much sure that the firmware is both the same on the SDSL routers and certainly the IOS image is. Then again, I've fecked up before on 'assuming' things! Moz - looks a good link that, m8. I've give that one a go - cheers! D.

    Any Cisco router specialists out there?

    Just a little techie question, if there is! We've got quite a few 1841-ADSL routers happily running along with no problems. Yet we have two of the 1841-SDSL versions and both seem to be very busy, even though they are doing little. One supports just three PCs via a VPN and the CPU on the...

    CAM Belt snapped on my 172?

    Maybe a daft question (and slightly off topic!) - but how come cambelts are made of what they are? Surely heavy-duty, purpose-built chains would be far better - assuming the noise wasn't a problem? D.

    Focus RS v Clio 172 Cup/182 Blackburn...

    Does sound like Chris & Nic. Did it have a private plate on it? I'm not surprised you didn't shake it - that's one rapid little fecker! :cool: D.

    clio v6 ebay £3200!!!!

    WTF?! The pic on Page 1 of this thread shows a '51 plate car. Then the first link above is for a 2003 reg car and the next is for a 2004 car??? D.

    The famous blue mk2 cat d vee returns

    Cars for sale like this completely baffle me. Aside from the quality of the text (come on pal - even if you can't spell, get someone else to proof-read it!!!) - £10k seems suspiciously cheap. But £10k, anyway? I wouldn't buy a £500 banger off eBay. I once bought an item for £150 off there...

    Another Macbook...

    ....... bought for one of the guys here, for home use. Looks superb in black. Went for 2GB memory for it too, so that should be plenty. The Dark Side is forever more tempting...... ;) D.

    172 Cuppa at Renault Bury

    I'm not even sure of the on-screen price, as I've only noticed it from a distance. Just a heads up if anyone was after a Cup in the area? Cheers, D.

    New EBC brakes fitted (inc. some pics)

    £340 for the brakes then another £70 for the two new rear bearings. Labour and fitting was paid for in cups of coffee and various biccies.... ;) D.
