Oh hai there club member ;)
Agree with the above though, the clio's although a good car are the car for people who want 1 car that does both to a reasonable level. If you have the option of 2 cars, it doesn't come in to the equation.
Spotted on Oldham bypass last night (not sure what time but it was dark.)
You were behind me coming through sainsburys onto the bypass. Was in a silver Mk5 ZS with a Mk1 MX5 in front and a 6n2 GTi in front of that.
Sounds about right. A lot of things on here aren't 100% accurate. It's just a matter of who says it, depending on the person to say it, it then becomes fact.
Removing the fuse on the 1*2's to remove ABS gives you 50/50 brake bias iirc the bias is controlled/determined by the rear abs sensors. Apparently you can disconnect a rear ABS sensor to disable it but retain the standard bias.
Personally I'd go for a 106/Saxo, the parts are cheaper, they are...
Friend of mine has one, lovely little car.
BUT! Gearbox is gash, steering feels too light and you can't real feel what's going on underneath you and for the extra power, it's no quicker than my Mk5 Zetec-s.
That said, they are better built, will run forever, and are a much nicer place to be :)
Did I miss something or isn't the colour name posted anywhere for the BMW? It's a little dark but it's hard to tell as it's indoors and quite dark anyway, would be nice to find some pictures of it out in the sun.
