Welcome m8 - nice colour of 172! :approve: How's the 172 comparing to the little Pug? There's a lot of respect for Rex's on here from what I've seen, so you should fit right in! D.

We needs pics, we do... :) D.

That's not too bad in fairness, m8. I was getting quotes at renewal last year over that - and I'm an 'owd giffer now. ;) Getting multiple cars insured at once helped enormously. The 182 insurance was down to around £460 this year. D.

Great vid there dannyboy! I'm actually impressed with how that black ATR did. Had it been fettled with, do you know? D.

Good point m8. The arse-end can sound great in a car, but you loose the noises from up front! D.

I think the only time the standard exhaust sounds good is with the back seat down and nothing in the boot. It's far too muted, imo. Have you heard a standard 182 on a rolling road? I've never heard such a relatively powerful car sound so bloody weedy! Yep, as others have said - you'd have to...

Yellow's an acquired taste. I was unsure of it really, until I chatted to a bloke in the local pub yesterday who turned up in his yellow R26. It was late evening, and with the fading light, I got to see all the shades of yellow on the curves of the Meggy. Looked absolutely stunning. :approve...

Wifey taking out strange blokes in her car again, I see! ;) D.

Lol - good one breo. Would have been a bit embarrassing if Corsa Man had had a fettled 2.0litre turbo lump under that black bonnet though! ;) I still think a lot of the uneducated drivers on the road see the 182 as a mere Clio with a few bits & bobs stuck on it. They will soon learn...

Ah - my apologies - that mustn't have got as far as Ashton-under-Lyne - that's why it confused me! ;) D.

Eh? :S You 'resemble' or do you 'resent' that remark? D.

Same reasons for me not going for the R26 m8! I'm sure you won't regret it. :) D.

Doesn't support a USB mouse??? :S Surely MS would get of their fat rickers and make one to work?! D.

It's not cliochris1 off here, is it? http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=220041 D.

You sound like you've covered off most options in that last paragraph. I really wouldn't know where else you could turn to in order to get a resolve on this issue. It's an absolute ridiculous situation that Renault UK aren't keeping you up to speed with developments though. :( D.

Hehehe - hi! Nothing like going for a 'little' drive to have something to eat. Really nice pub that. I wouldn't have had a clue as to where it was, but Martin was navigator in his black Vee. D.

Lol - probably was us then. Two Vees, mine and a Monaro? ^^^^ - that avatar looks familiar! ;) D.

Good move m8 - get some pics up! D.

Michael - I think once you have a go of a 172, you'll be hooked. Driving mine back tonight, I still 'get' what the RS Clios are about. They are the family runabout, evolved. They get you from A to B, but egg you on to take that next corner better, to leave that stretch in-gear a little longer...

FPMSL! :D Not too sure she'd be impressed with that, matey! D.

Approx 9.30pm tonight. We were just leaving in our mini convoy when you came in. Car looked very good - and low! :cool: D.

Good point, but I think the answer is yes! :D I think you should always aim to improve what you had previously in a car - especially if you're a petrolhead. I love the Evo's approach to things. Take a completely boring, feck ugly four door and 'factory-make' it to be a hooligan. The 6 takes...

The 182 isn't going anywhere........ for now, at least! I've been thinking of what best to do these past couple of months, and I can safely say that I'm happy sticking with the 182. The 197 was never even a starter for me and while the Corsa VXR had some potential, it was a hefty hike in...

Must admit, they look like perfect roads for a 182! D.

Whoa - do those birds have cluster-bomb arses? :S D.

Love that first pic! LOL @ 'SUX' on the plate! ;) D.

Haven't tried that expansion pack yet.... D.

Sounds like the plan to follow then. Cheers Rich. :approve: D.

Possibly? It by no means a hard-and-fast rule, but a quick tootle about in your car and switching the engine off, wouldn't give it enough time to build up sufficient heat. The heat, in theory, should evaporate any unburnt deposits left in the system when you switch off. I could however, be...

Captive market, I guess? I'm 'hoping' that the 18 miles each-way I do going to work will heat the exhaust enough to reduce the risk of corrosion. Then again, that's applying logic to a Reno part. Since when did that ever work? ;) D.
