He he, thanks Chris, I think I'll pass. Ad now up, took a lot of effort (and moaning from the wife) to actually press 'Submit Advert'. http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/3787380.htm

LOL Writing this f***ing advert is taking an age...almost done.

Thanks Daniel. That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

If fitting a new gearbox is easy then yes!

I's passed every MOT for the last 3 years without issue. Under the new regulations is it now something that will fail it?

...but I'm unsure of the following... My 172 Cup's speedo doesn't work as there's no drive from the gearbox, so I have a Road Angel showing MPH instead. Is this legal? Thanks

Aside from how they look, are they worth the cost for the improvement in how they throw light down the road? I recall there's split opinion over whether Xenons are better than standard on the mkIIs, so are these Projectors night and day difference or a bit meh compared to standard? In other...

If it beeped around 6,750 on the test drive sounds like the engine wasn't fully up to temperature. The limiter and light operate at lower revs until all is warmed through...can't say for certain as I've never revved mine hard when cold, but I'd imagine the beep is lower too. Get yours fully...

Ooh. Have you got a 200 on order Christopher?

Likely fuel queues could make that a PITA! I've now got tomorrow completely free. Cleaning the 200 though so if I get done in time I might come along.

If you'd filled it to the brim, you'd know how much you had left...(50 litres [or whatever it holds] less how much it took to fill it up). Then, knowing what your likely mpg is...you'll know how far out/accurate it is. Until you do that, you've only got really random guesswork to go on.

Mythbusters proved this is b****cks IIRC. Had a shed with glass windows in the middle of the desert, and repeatedly flew past it at supersonic speeds. It shook a bit, but no windows destroyed.

And the throttle is affected by the driver...so 160 bhp Clio vs 330 bhp Clio with all things being equal... The traction out of any given corner is the same, the tyres can withstand the same x bhp before they slip. So x bhp is applied by the driver, and the experience is identical regardless of...

Handling is how a car feels when you ask it to change direction, how it reacts and responds to your inputs, how it communicates what's going on back to you. If that is the case...I'm not sure where you're coming from Roy? It has more power, and the delivery will be different...but it'll...

Lovely motor. We should hook up and do a few brief side by side runs for the camera...

Tucks IIRC.

I thought that had gone too...has proper history that one, spent a fair few days being driven as intended (and broken sadly LOL).

That works very well.

OMFG, that's err, just wrong.

WTF? I never noticed the price. Was that really NINE THOUSAND POUNDS for an almost 7 year old Clio? I obviously need a ride in it. Then it'll make sense.

I did one at 80mph once. G reg Fiesta, made a noise like no other when it hit and f***ed the front valance.

Any damage? They're not big/heavy, but at 60mph they make a big hole.

Stupid suicidal motherfcukers basically! Do they really posses no survival instinct whatsoever? Had to haul up sharpish en route home tonight, traffic coming the other way so I had to come to a standstill and lean on the horn. Two others almost did the same but ran off just before I...

Where I used to notice it most on my 172 Cup and also on my 200 is when it idles. On V-Power/Momentum I can comfortably let the car pull itself along on tickover only in traffic, getting into 3rd or 4th without touching the throttle, whereas on 95 it was possible (just), but painful.

Isn't it a piece of history too? And a very low mileage, concours condition one at that?

LOL at not liking the seats. Change them, and on general principle you'd have to be killed to death. Epic car.

Wow, that's amence.

No web browser. No need for one either really is there?

Wow, amazing transformation. As said above though...that tyre's rotating the wrong way! Unsafe!!!

OMG Sorry Chris, but FLOL. So glad I didn't follow your lead.
