    Best ever car adverts...

    Love the recent Honda offerings like what Waitey mentioned earlier. Very stylish and put together. For me, I always remember the VW Golf ad from the late 80s with Paula Hamilton. Summed up that era perfectly. Not that I noticed all that at 13 years of age. I just thought she looked fit as...

    New Girl :)

    I think the sharks have been kept away....... for now. ;) Welcome, by the way! D.

    Juke-R + Street Race

    Flol. That's the car equivalent of Nora Batty with the assets of a pole-dancer under her apron. The Puke-r is epic however, for the fact that it even exists. Hat's off to the engineers for even attempting it. But I would much, MUCH prefer to have a standard GTR.... D.

    Go on have a good laugh at my own stupidity.

    PMSL! Quality! D.

    Newbie - Picking up mint Clio 182 tonight :) ADVICE?

    Does look dodgy on initial comments. But don't completely write if off just yet. If the car drives and feels fine and is structurally sound - you'll just have to make allowances when purchasing the car for the belts to be done. Although not cheap, I would certainly get both done given the...

    Rota Wheels...

    ^^^ - those are stunning. I'd have those on the Evo any day of the week. :approve: D.

    Crashed Vee on Tranent High Street

    I 'think' that's the diagonal paving on the floor. You can see the same on the other side of the second pic too. D.

    Hate speedbumps?

    Utterly pointless. I R no understand. D.

    What Silvatech bulbs do I need?

    Yep - as koi says, it's the offset ones you need. D.

    Newbie - Picking up mint Clio 182 tonight :) ADVICE?

    Not sad at all - bloody good idea if you ask me! A couple of minutes of your time marking up in return for peace of mind? Well worth it. D.

    Newbie - Picking up mint Clio 182 tonight :) ADVICE?

    Just for a heads-up too - check that no error codes appear. If you hold in the button on the end of the stalk and turn your ignition key once (or twice? I can't remember off the top of my head) - the dash will light up and the dials rotate automatically. There will be a beeping noise and if you...

    Crashed Vee on Tranent High Street

    Shame. :( I'd be more concerned of V6 owners swooping down like vultures for parts off it. D.

    Over 10 years in waiting...... and my day finally arrives

    It's been a long time coming - but I got there eventually! :) Yep - definitely one to agree to disagree about - lol! :) I did jack it up on the jacking points (similar to those on the Clio) but a couple of them were pretty mangled, tbf. I've never really understood whey there isn't a universal...

    Silver 182 with clear rear light clusters - A-U-L this afternoon

    ....would have been around 11.40am - heading up Lord Sheldon Way towards IKEA. D.

    Abarth pics

    Am I looking at the gearstick right - only a 5-speeder? As much as I like these, I can't but help think of 'what if' the engine was at the correct end of the car? No doubt it would cost an absolute fortune to develop and price itself way out of the comparative market. But it would make a cool...

    Over 10 years in waiting...... and my day finally arrives

    Haha! Too late! These were ALWAYS going to go on. Along with a Scooby, they are one of the few cars that can get away with having them fitted, imo. And with Clio metal being like a titanium alloy in comparison to the metal used on Evos, the bodywork needs as much help as possible against...

    Well the car lasted all of 4 weeks..

    Well said. And welcome. :) D.

    Coolest car your Mum/Dad has owned.

    Awesome. Love the Youtube name too! :) D.

    Coolest car your Mum/Dad has owned.

    I love it when people own a certain car for donkeys years. Such an antidote to the 3-year-recycle culture that a lot of owners have with their cars! Looks very well looked after, btw. :) D.

    Coolest car your Mum/Dad has owned.

    Simply stunning. I remember one of the dinner ladies at our junior school had one very similar - without the white trim on the tyres and the car itself was white, iirc. Looked brilliant even back then when I didn't really realise what it 'was'. I remember dad picking the same as this one below...

    Middle aged driving w*nkers (pointless RANT)

    I've done that many times........ and got 'away' with it. I think I've had enough chances now - the next person might be a total nut-job and stab me on the spot. Just not worth it these days. D.

    Over 10 years in waiting...... and my day finally arrives

    Tomorrow's job arrived today...... :cool: That's all assuming that..... The jack will get underneath the car (I'm thinking a new purchase is required here) That the bolts holding the flaps in place don't hit the rubber surrounding the 18s. Fingers crossed! D.

    Audi TT RS + low

    All a bit meh to me. The only thing that grabbed my attention was that fleeting glimpse of the Mk.1 Golf in that original video. About 2.55 in, iirc? That looked superb. :) D.

    2 Monitors...?

    NO WAY - could I have that desk! ;) I cannot stand finger-marks on glass/monitors/windscreens/etc. Just using that desk for 5 mins would have me stopping what I was doing and cleaning it again!!! D.

    To all V6 Owners

    For my 10p worth.... They are great cars to be in. As others, the attention it gets is very noticable. It's a Marmite car too. A lot of people simply not understanding the reason why that Clio has no rear seats - or why that Clio has a 'silly' bodykit on it! One-off parts are eye-wateringly...

    New Member here just bought 172 sport

    Evenin' and welcome! Worth paying the membership fee so that you've got access to car parts for sale section, etc. Something may pop up in there for you? :) D.

    Woman of 86 takes her Clio for a drive on train tracks.

    I can see the funny side - but stuff like this makes my piss boil. And WTF was the 20-year-old doing?!?!?! Stop the car FFS!!! When I went into Renault yesterday, some old codger had to be told AGAIN that he'd come into the wrong dealership and that Fiat was next door. Maybe the large 30ft x...

    Photo of mine published in the iPad edition of the Metro Newspaper today

    Lol - good pic! One of those that definitely makes you smile. :) D.

    Had tracking done but steering wheel is now offset

    Got mine done last time at Demon Tweeks after behaving exactly as you say. Made the car so much more pleasant to drive as the offset steering wheel was really beginning to piss me off! D.
