Ooh, that was a close one mate, glad you got through it ok. What could you have done differently? From an advanced driving perspective; had the driver in front given you any clues already that they were a bit of a novice? If so, you could of extended your stopping distance by dropping back...

I only saw a little of that Fred, but weren't they just tapping the calipers back into contact with ther discs on the straights prior to the braking zones? Cool video though :)

I run a Sony DCR-HC18E Chris, and it's worked very well for me over the last three years. It was about £400 IIRC when I bought it - MiniDV tapes, pull onto the PC through a firewire link into Windows Media, upload, job done. £30 if you look hard enough will find you a genuine Sony battery on...

I wish you well and hope you have many miles of incident free motoring, but your comment above has illustrated just how much you have to learn about driving and car control in general. If I were you I'd be booking up some form of advancded driver training as soon as possible, because unless...

I originally got one when I subscribed 2-3 years ago. Maybe they don't dish them out anymore. You could always go on an Evo organised trackday...I picked up 5 stickers on the last one I went to.

There's a Ferrari 360 in my village with ENZ 66 on it. Obviously they could only stretch to the cheaper model.

Nice one Chris - treated exactly as it should be from new :D

K-tec stealth for me. A few have had quality issues, including me, but once resolved it's a great bit of kit. I say it's subtle, and combined with a decat, sounds just how it should.

http://www.iam.org.uk/aboutus/advancedtest/ Smoothness and anticipation are the key to it. That's why things like my brakes and wheel bearings have lasted so long as well.

Actually, I barely grip the wheel at all normally, I use a very light finger-tip touch - feedback is far less diluted. It's gone where my hands rest, but it's definitely not down to it being gripped too hard. It's purely because what Renault refer to as leather, is actually not leather (or if...

Pagid Blue is a race pad.

Harsh ;) It does clean up OK, it's just that, well...I never (hardly ever) clean it. I can count on one hand how many times it's been through a carwash in the last 12 months. There are far more important/pressing things for me to do on a Sunday than spend 3hrs shivvering my tits off!

And check out the back of the drivers seat... "My seat is squeaking" I said. "We'll sort it out for you sir" said the Renault monkeys when Mike had a day off. So they took the cover off and threw grease at the springs...and the grease has been working its way back out ever since.

That's all I've needed pretty much too Oms...one rear bearing went recently needing new rear discs...but I'm still on the original factory fitted rear brake pads. Original front wheel bearings too which is remarkable considering the amount of times it's clattered over apex kerbs while wearing...

It's 3 years old! In 74,000 miles I've spent; Fuel £9,000 Car tax £495 Insurance £1,250 Brakes (consumables and upgrades) £600 Servicing £1,800 Modifications (exhaust, decat, ITG panel, R-sport ECU) £630 Road tyres £500 Track tyres £350 Replacement OE dampers £160 Spare track wheels £250...

F****** U****** forum!!!

Go and do your IAM Roy... ^^^ ... you're almost there already. What I teach, and what I practice, is to be asking yourself this constantly as you drive, regardless of time/conditions; What can I see? What can't I see? What can I reasonably expect to happen? If you are asking yourself those...

LMFAO...lucky boy Roy, very lucky.

:cool:

Indeed! Looks great Dan :)

Looks like you pulled back up to and almost past him in this :D If only roads over here were as deserted.

Try trail-braking more, that should unload the rear nicely :)

They handle just fine in the wet, but the grip's not too good at the back if you unbalance the car. What happened to you sounds just like what happened to me here... Only, that was all my fault. Rippled surface on the corner contributing to understeer, vehicle approaching, lift of the...

I think the 10 bhp is a myth. At a Janspeed rolling road day, there was an even mix of 182's and 172's. They were all, give or take 2-3 bhp here and there, exactly the same. The top 3 figures overall were 172's though...probably down to mileage as the 182's had not been out that long.

I'd have him round Bedford though.

Not just cheap tyres though, I've had my Turinis fitted with Michelin PE2's balanced 3 times now and I still get a slight intermitant vibration through the wheel. To Billy... Are you running standard wheels? If they're aftermarket your vibration could be down to incorrect spigot rings.

Fiesta ST parked next to a mates house is; ST05 LEN And I've seen A6GRO on a Lambo Countach before.

Ha ha ha ha ha LMFAO Truly comical...what a pr*ck! All the gear and no fcuking idea. Went past that camera at about 80mph...and couldn't pull up at the junction in time. Very lucky for the traffic on the main road that he didn't t-bone anyone.

Sl@g :)

IIRC, the claim value paid out by Greenlight for 172 Cups, was more than ALL other Renaultsport Clios put together. So that's more paid out on the proper Cup than on the FF172, FF182, 182 Cup, Trophy, 16v, Williams, V6 MkI, V6 MkII combined... I just renewed my insurance with Herts...
