Anything between PO22 and GU27...they're mostly covered in wet leaves and mud from tractors right now.

Part of me really wants to, the other part doesn't need it. On the roads I drive at this time of the year the torque and power it has as standard is more than enough to lose traction at will and pass what I want/need to safely. But my insurance renewal may force the issue and make it happen...

No not yet. I did run insurance through a few sites last night as my renewal comes up in December. Modified/Mountuned versus standard = an extra £20. It'd be rude not to!

On the home screen pinch and you can add or take away at leisure.

Here's mine...seems to be getting better as it loosens up.

My ST came shod with these. After 8k road miles including one blisteringly hot trackday and I still have 5.5mm on the rears and 5.0mm on the fronts (after one rotation). They should be good for 15k miles easily. Wet grip is very good, dry grip is very good, progression is very good, road noise...

Excellent choice, best colour. Give the engine time, mines so different now at 8k.

Nice one Jon. LOL at all that traveling only to find this peach just down the road! Will you use this to drag the 172 about?

Firmer and more consistent pedal position...that's what I noticed. Keeps the pedal where you want it/expect it to be regardless of how hot you get the fluid or lines.

I've not glitched once. I pass my time doing missions, races, and general f***ing about. I think they have the balance of earnings/rank points/costs about right. Things are within reach, but you have to work a little for them...it keeps me coming back anyway. Will LOLOLOLOLOL if they do reset...

Urgh! Can I expect to need this on my ultra-efficient direct injection EcoBoost then? If so, thank f*** I took the 5yr 100k mile warranty when I bought it!

Since when did modern cars need 'decoking'? I'm curious, what causes it and why does it only happen on MSC/JCW variants?

I like that. I like the 'f*** you' styling. Don't spend a penny on it, enjoy the attention/laughs it gets, enjoy the rarity, then sell it on as a genuine rare original car for a higher price than you'll get if you start chopping it up/changing things.

To have it applied or just for that tiny thimble of liquid? Looks good regardless!

I remember being doubtful when you said there was no element of your FRS feeling a little bit diesel-like as it revved out. Now I've seen the light LOL. Modern turbo charged engines are wonderful things...no downside at all compared the equivalent bhp output NA, and a sh*t load of upsides. I'd...

Err, no they don't. I've recently started hitting the limiter more and more in mine. When new, it noticeably ran out of urge over 5,500 rpm...no need to watch the rev counter, you could very easily feel when it stopped accelerating as it approached the limiter. Now mine's properly run in...

You missed the fact that ALL tests so far comparing the ST with what else is out there hot-hatch wise have it leading the class. MPG and price are factors for sure, but they are far from the sole reason these cars are everywhere.

LOL really? Where is it you drive where people turn and stare in wonderment? I did 30k miles in my 200 and never once felt this; to 99.9% of people who see it, it's just a Clio, exactly the same as my ST is just a Fiesta.

What N0ddie says ^^^ is bang on. Similar driving experience, similar overall pace, but with the ST it is much easier to make progress. Heated windscreen and heated seats also made my commute this morning a very pleasant experience. I've only seen one other one on the roads so far.

I do this, I always do this, my legs work so I have no problem using them...but it hasn't solved the problem for me. I still get idiots parking right next to me when my car's surrounded by 100 other empty spaces. It just shows how little people actually think about anything at all when they're...

I winced watching that, several times. Extreme idiocy.

Beautiful, but no less similar to the basic Clios than the ST is to the lower spec Fiestas, no? The only things externally that mark any of them out over lesser siblings are wheels, calipers, exhausts and bumpers. Unless there's some other appendage on the Clio I've missed?

Exactly.

Exactly Look at the share of the costs on the pie chart. Saving a few percent on the fuel cost won't make a huge difference to the overall cost of ownership. It'll still be the biggest portion by far. Depreciation/finance/hp/lease costs are the only thing you can reduce that actually make any...

Clearly scripted from the outset to ensure the Clio didn't make the final two. Did look a bit useless tbh.

All done at the dealer yesterday. Mirror supplied and fitted, and SYNC system reset fixing my iPod connectivity problem. They didn't update the software after all as it's quite a lengthy task apparently and they didn't have time to complete it as it was too late in the day. No bother as I have...

So, test bias and pre-scripted agenda aside, after a bit of a hack about and some intentional stupidity by Tiffany Dell the Renault's dashboard was lit up like a Christmas tree. That alone makes me happy I'm not in one right now.

This is why my front left wheel always used to lock way before the right one in my 172 Cup? Makes sense, throw in 75kg for a driver and there's serious righthand side bias!

Got it booked in this Friday to have a complete new mirror assembly fitted. Quite surprised that they come in at only £160 plus fitting...That's colour matched too. Going to have them update the SYNC software while they're at it, hopefully restore my iPod connectivity. Now I've had it for a...
