You sir, are a star! :cool: D.

How much was that on top of the service, Mark? D.

Cheers Fred :)

Mine did this the other week. First I knew of it was grease flicked all over the alloy... :( The clip that holds the boot on is a crap design too. D.

Is it worth changing every couple of years? Is it worth doing at a service interval - say the 36k one? Is it a sod to change in the first place? :) D.

I would look at Mac's, going off your requirements above. If you want to stick with PC laptops, I personally prefer HP ones. They seem a good balance of performance against cost. D.

Ignore the Vee - look at that Capri! Has it got black wheels on it, too? :approve: D.

Nowt wrong with your mum, m8 - she was proper protecting your car. I can imagine if I had made an attempt to nick your car, it would have been me that would have come off the worst! ;) D.

It's a guaranteed drive past the hospital just after 12pm - especially if we have a Fat Basta*d Friday and head on over to Subway! :) Mick - Jain was saying that black gold was really rare on the '55 plate? You certainly don't see many Vees anyway - either Mk1 or Mk2, but to have a rare...

Hehehe! The Stalker strikes again, eh?! To be fair, it was Mick that PM'd me first, so I'm not entirely to blame! Anni - you would have missed me by about 10 minutes or so - those roadworks further down are causing a nightmare getting in, in the morning.... :( D.

Ah, it's in the pipeline then? I know your car had a lot less miles on it than mine, but your black gold paintwork looked amazing. It must have been well looked after by the previous owner - either that - or it didn't get out much. The one (unfortunate) thing about the BG Vees is when the...

Lol - you got back quick? Heavy right foot? ;) Good to meet you too after seeing the Cup there so many times before. I'll have to get used to looking out for a Vee now! Maybe a change of forum name is required too??? D.

I have to agree - brilliant! Just enough to make it stand out and make it very special indeed. Love the boot Hybrid badge too! :) D.

Give him that - even with the turning circle of an oil-tanker, Elvis can certainly park a Vee well.... ;) D.

Could be - though it was earlier than that, m8. It was on that road that heads into Reddish from that roundabout - with Wickes off to the side. We were in a works' Mazda-6 at the time, hence I didn't flash! ;) D.

Spotted it coming the other way through traffic. Only glanced at the plate - could have started YP55, though I'm not sure on that. It was either carrying some weight or it had been lowered too.... ;) Early afternoon today (30/7/07) D.

DOH - I think I should have posted this in the Detailing section. Could a mod move it for me? Cheers, D.

Looks good Ricky! Are you planning anything with the fog-light holes? Cooling ducts for the front discs, perhaps? How does the racing blue colour fare against the usual debris thrown up on track? It looks ultra-clean on the later pics - does it look proper grubby afterwards? ;) D.

There is a pic of him on here somewhere..... quite a few threads too! http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=125114&highlight=elvis D.

Looks just right on the ride height - shame Reno didn't kick them out the factory that low to start with! Not really a fan of the tints (on any car) but everything else looks the nutts - especially the black diamond. D.

Love that side shot that includes the Ford Galaxy. Very clean and shiny! D.

You're all wrong. The unique blue paint is coated in a flatulence bacteria that releases microscopic farts when the car is under hard acceleration. Adds at least 20bhp when rolling.... ;) D.

I was at that same junction in the pic today. What time was it roughly? D.

Well, it was a great day to clean the car. A bit too good in a way as the sun was really strong. The neighbours were out so it was a good excuse to nick some of the shade on offer... ;) A decent amount of black goldage going on....:cool: However, mine was totally outclassed by...

I wish they did that as an option when I ordered my 182. I would have much preferred a sunroof than A/C... D.

ARGH! Stop making me change my mind - you're confusing me!!! :rasp: D.

^^^^^ - Good point edde - especially keeping the car as a track virgin too. Hmmmm. I think I'll stick with non-grooved ones then.... Cheers for all the feedback guys! :) D.

So, so true. Seems to be the way of things, these days. :dapprove: Having said that, pepsi - I don't think you've done anything wrong - just made the best out of an unexpected situation. Fair play to you. Yet we also end up with situations like what Taylor says. She comes off the worst (by...

Are the grooved discs worth paying the extra for? D.

I am getting a quote on the EBC Red Stuff as well - so I may consider them? D.
