The mk2 is best and is stunning to look at..dont like the mk1 ian

Thats strombas car.. What happened to him anyways,havent heard him for ages now ian

I would probably say i owned a indisit washing machine on wheels and tried to make a rustler burger advert out of it.......lol ian

Some work of art,they must of had a donation from the steven hawking fund Good ridance ian

It wont be long now before they overtake petrol.....However much you like petrol they are gonna get beat one day............ ian

Its 3mm as said but theres a lot more to it than that.Someone like mr townsend may help but the track is wider and the springs are stiffer than a cup and so on.Someone may have more info.....i just like the look of cars. ian

Loose out on what mate.It only costs about £3 more to fill up on optimax,i then get a bit of that back with around 5mpg difference,so its minimal really.The 172 was made to be run on 98 so thats what it gets,i wouldnt want to compramise any internal engine bits for the sake of 5p a litre When...

Ok The 182 has posted the fastest 0-60 if them all with 6.3 in autocar The 182 with cup pack has higher rated springs and slightly lower and wider track than a cup Evo has posted a quicker o-100 time than the cup in a 182. There you are ,now that should get a little bite from someone on...

£4.50 a litre,whats your name gordon brown....Were moaning about 85p a litre here... And anyways,how bad is that for your engine. ian

Its cheaper to use optimax in the long run. I get 5mpg more than normal cheap crap and it only costs £3.50 more to fill up the 172 on it so it balances itself out ,plus you get the extra va va voom ian

Some good points dave 182,i can agree with some of that.It would still be good to stuff the dealers where it hurts and give everyone the same price. Fancy that,having to deal with a car garage to get the price down of a foreign car in your own country.Why do people pay up.Why cant people stick...

Ive tried them all. Optimax,bp ultimate and esso super,etc,etc The optimax is the best.It also returns better mpg on my 172 by about 5mpg vs normal unleaded It seems to aid the pick up when you plant the throttle when moving ian

All imports from within the EU have now been given 3 yr warranty,just not cyprus ones People who buy from dealers are mugs,there is a 3k saving to be made on a purchase from most importers and still people go to a dealer. All the cars come off the same production line and end up here.They...

^^^^^^^wot he says^^^^^^^^^^^^ ian

glad the clio did so well Will try to sell my 172 now to fund a 182 Also glad it beat an evo 8 in a slalom test in evo,just to proove its credentials ian [Edited by ian 172 on 14 June 2004 at 10:54pm]

Its a shame renault cant creep the same:( TVRs are handbuilt sports cars and are meant to feel a bit like that i suppose. With a full fia roll cage in every tvr i would rather crash in that than my 172.I dont think they are as bad as you make out.There not made to do a daily commute i think...

The day will come when i can have a tuscan.But the purchase will be made with a 2nd car in mind.I will probably do 6k a year if that and then the running costs arent so great.Compare this to a ferrari which costs £1400 just to change a cam belt and its still a bargain.I think running an evo is...

I want one now,those wheels looked great going round and ill take mine in artic blue please. I didnt realise you could have the cup pack and spoilers with sat nav?!? In all a fair result as we all know there not the best built cars,but with the gripes comes that engine and handling enough to...

TVRs are gorgeous pieces of british design,you must of sat in an old one because the ones at the motorshow were stunning.Along with noble they are the best of british and there is nothing this side of 100k to touch them on performance The cerbera can be had for 16k and break 9 seconds to...

If the car was imported from cyprus then youve had it...If it was from anywhere else in the EU then renault UK have to honour the warranty. If you are buying the car make sure it has the original bill of sale and any warranty bits and present this to renault uk who will then register you. ian

V6 money is 2nd hand TVR money X or Y plate tuscan anyone <<<ian

Very serious....As i also said evo posted the same time for the cup and M3 round bedford auto last year ian

I too would love to see it on a fast track,but still dont think it would be light years ahead.To the same point i would love to see the cars on a very twisty section of track.The very normal looking 182 (as you put it) beat the evo 260 in a slalom test in this months evo,so how poor would your...

Top gear is the best motorshow on tv.Half of his comments are made in jest so as not to bore people to tears about cars,the rest of us who like cars see where hes coming from.Its just your opinion whether you like him or not but i dont see any other show touching it for fast cars and a bit of...

Evo did a group thrash of all current clios(issue 50)and the cup beat the v6 by 2.1 secs a lap. This was the mk 1 v6 and seen as the mk2 v6 has been improved and the power increased then i think it would be a much closer race,although i wouldnt like to bet on the outcome of either car. The...

Someones put stones in your wheelcaps...he he he ian

About 3mpg in my car on a run,very nice compramise ian

Thank god i had this today.I got in the car and it said 30 c and within a couple of mins i was chilled.I dont think i could have a car now that doesnt have it. I know we only get three weeks of sun a year but i really was glad.Has anyone else blasted theirs today.(no offence to cups) ian

I thought you could only have the stripes on a racing blue one to comemorate the gordini blue racing cars of old ian I will be having an arctic one soon me hopes [Edited by ian 172 on 08 June 2004 at 12:23pm]
