Lovely car. I hate being a Clio driving porper.

Is it 0.00000-1 by any chance?

You bought a Beetle as a cheap reliable run around? lol

Can someone please explain what a drop test is?

Oh right, sorry Phil. :o

Part of me just thinks that going to a battery place to have it tested will just end up with them selling me a new one, I can't imagine they're going to say 'nah it's fine mate, keep your money'. I don't even know what a drop test is. :(

That was with the engine off mate, looks like I need a new one then, it'll have to wait until next week though as i'm out of tax and get paid at the end of the week. ​Why does sh*t always f*ck up when you're skint?

Yeah it started at 18 and levelled off at about 13v, it was still dropping but only by 0.1 every 20 seconds or so.

I take it you were born with the ability to decipher electronic settings and use a multimeter then? The last one I used didn't have a dial, just a needle that told you what volts it's putting out, I don't have an electronics degree so don't know what any of it means. The alternator's hovering...

In DCV there's 500, 200, 20, 2000m & 200m, which one should I use?

My battery was flat yesterday and I need to check if the alternator's charging it properly, it should be because it's brand new, i'm thinking the battery running flat and recharged a few times has knackered it. A bloke I know has lent me this, but I don't know what setting to put it on to check...

Mine's still in there, it's just not connected to anything.

Lol, quick put it on Gumtree they're rare as Unicorn spunk!

I'd love to know what Daniel thought was too harsh to post. lol Btw which 1.4 engine does my 172 have?

Why do these vids always drown out cars with music? Should be the other way round! Cool car though.

Big money project! How far are you going to take it in terms of power?

Quite a collection of cars there, that Mini's mental.

If all you did was plug it in and take a screen shot, ​then I can't see why you couldn't drive it, it's still got the standard map on there.

I see it's still homosexuals anonymous in here.

Yeah, he's f*cked that right up. Expensive day. :(

Isn't a test day full of race cars blasting past you at warp speed? ​Surely they'd be quite angry at a clueless noob getting in the way?

Same here, i've misjudged corners on the road before and the dog kennel's just pissed all over them, I don't have the skill to push my car when the tyres are warm, ​it's far better than I am at driving.

I was about to say that's fixable until I took a closer look at it, sadly the money and effort wouldn't be worth it, better to just start again with another car.

I'd be upset if I smashed up my £2k dog kennel, ​I don't know what state i'd be in if I wrote off a brand new car.

I have to admit, i'd have probably taken my wheel brace to his head, ​maybe i'm not cut out for trackdays.

I was just going to pay for an instructor and do as i'm told tbh, ​hopefully having one in my car will keep any nutters away from me.

Nope, one drag day at Shakespeare raceway, kind of hard to crash when it's a 1/4 mile straight.

I want to do one this year, i'd prefer one that wasn't full of angry dickheads trying to kill themselves.

So which trackdays would be good for someone who's never been on track before, and doesn't want his car smashed to bits but tw*ts? Bit scared now tbh, just when i'm start thinking it's a good idea I hear stories like this.

What's an action day then, any old bugger on track?
