I really don't. If it's even slightly wet the rear spoiler/diffuser combo mean the back of the car/rear window get's continually plastered in spray/crap. Wiping continuously is the only way to a) see anything and b) catch anything worthwhile from the rear dash cam.

Not yet, next week. It's all I hear when I watch this video back, that f***ing spring creaking!

Sorry to disappoint! I'm hoping for something along these lines at some point from the exhaust noise... Normality will be restored soon. I can't suppress my urges much longer. Not particularly...although I tend to take the C-Max if I'm running domestic errands, and at work I have a...

It truly does...and not a spreadsheet or even so much as a mention of data anywhere. Plenty of cringe as usual though.

FLOL That makes me feel warm inside.

Yes you can. I'm not aware of the intricacies or pitfalls in doing so. I'd imagine sourcing the wheel hardware wouldn't be cheap though!

A-f***ing-men I did. I went into it direct from a 2009 Clio 200 and it was the far more capable road car. The Clio had the better throttle response, and ultimately on a track where low down torque matters mostly not one bit, was a little more rewarding. Given that my annual mileage is 99% on...

Hmmmmm. The point is slowly getting through, maybe I'll relegate them to biannual or annual updates only then. Maybe.

Hmmmmm, time to move it on me thinks. If I was happier taking my C-Max for grocery top ups instead of the RS with a 20 mile detour on the way home, I'd get it up for sale and find something else.

Don't want to drive it just for the sake of driving it?

Ouch. Nasty incident! Very cheap and very easily installed dash cameras would help massively here too. That is if they're allowed. Have I read somewhere that they're not permitted in Germany?

Meh. w*****s, the lot of you.

It's flown by, nine weeks now! Think yourself lucky, this started out at over 30 minutes long, I hacked it all right back. It was a mix of both, they each do pretty much the same amount on mine. A decent prod of the throttle with an abrupt lift over 3k and off it goes. They are! They will...

...some random thoughts, and a new t-shirt just for @Christopher :up:

"ACCESS - your flexible friend" - I haven't seen that logo for a loooong time. That makes me feel really very very old!

They're fine. If my rears didn't look like that after a track session i'd check I hadn't suddenly grown a vagina.

Is it rubber pick up? If it was wouldn't it be all over the tyre instead of gathered on one side only of all the tread blocks?

Donnington's clockwise and that rear tyre just looks to me like you were having a lot of fun. Working the back when they're hot will roll/wear some of the surface across to the edge of the tread block. Other than cutting your session times down a little as said above I see nothing on those...

That wasn't 1hr 20min non-stop was it? You had breaks to cool everything down every 15-20 mins or so?

Any thoughts on Netgear Arlo Pro? It's been personally recommended to me and seems a good solution.

I've not done a wet day for a good few years now but driving around a soaking Goodwood in my 172 Cup on A032 tyres taught me a huge amount about being gentle with the throttle and building it up slowly through a corner. Look at the day as an opportunity to learn?

There's very few cars I've ever owned where I've gotten into it and been on it straight away. They all take time to learn. Pedal positions, responses, pressures, all vary so much. It's only recently, at 3k miles in my RS, that I can honestly say I've been getting more of the shifts right more...

Anything from 5mm top this one with a monster 40mm lift! http://www.mishimoto.co.uk/ford-focus-rs-pedal-spacer-2016.html?gclid=CJj40cXB_tQCFUVmGwodFzAKYg I would so love to try that one out...anything other than the gentlest braking and the throttle pedal would be level with half way up your shin!

It was my birthday over the weekend and that meant me getting my annual new item of clothing. Expect a different t-shirt to feature soon.

Flapz and stickers make me 😢 Other than that, great choice! Get miles on it, power hard out of turns, get stupid grin stuck to your face.

I'd stick with silver, and a basic rattle can job for track only wheels is surely good enough. One of the sets I had for my 172 Cup I brush painted, badly, with bright yellow Smoothrite! Why not go loud with a blue or red?

They look good!

That's annoying...I'm going to have to watch Love Island now!

Not at all! That won't stop me recording, calculating, graphing, and moaning about it all in minute detail though :tongueout:

Nice, flat, good sight lines, you can get a good run up at the cyclists!
