by bolting in go-faster bits it wont be as good on fuel.

its 4wd you know

R27 with full livery and bodykit, in LY. or a 200 Silverstone / Raider (with Tomtom, not RSy0! meter)

CLK, coupe of champions

:) Even when some 18 yr old actually forks over the 3k to drive their 2k french hatch? I'd have to probably put the phone on mute for a second while I composed myself. "oi, steve... STEVE! He's only gone and done it! I KNOW! WTF yeah"

18 Renault Clio 2.0 172 Cup Bootle / Skelmersdale / Leeds / North Leg tracking device no NCB 2 fault incidents 9 points (phone, speeding, driving without insurance)

So what are the BIG ones Sky? You know, the ones where you pretty much laugh yourself to tears as the premium is calculated? 172 Cup is one, I'd imagine Racing on highway DBDD

I bet death by dangerous driving would add a few quid

The Clio is fairly practical, it is a hatchback after all.. I'd imagine the Clio will be worse on insurance, given that 19yr olds get their hands on them and proceed to immediately barrel-roll it through a playground

As you suggested, asset strip both vehicles and make one good one. naughty! don't go doing that again!

Sorry Tony. But, honestly, the total wipeout due to bearings never happened to me, but, then, maybe by idea I spotted the issue earlier than some.

Just found my old Deluxe edition. Many hours lost this past week

V-engines are always superior to 4-bangers. Fact of life. If you want fuel economy, get a Kia

That's just throwing money away. Why no just hold onto the car, leave it as is then use the unspent mod money on a car that is quick out of the factory?

LOL, no, you're alright, I don't want to bust my diff thanks. Seriously though, when the replacement came out it was literately a charred and melted cage with a couple of ball bearings falling out. They said they'd never heard of it being so bad so quickly. I did have an MPG drop off, I...

Schumacher - Can you get to the end of the championship-deciding race? or will Schumy punt you off to seal it for himself. Kimi - Pit stops last 4/5 minutes as each driver is required to have a mandatory Cornetto. Alonso - Game view is restricted due to the use of oversized baseball caps Lewis -...

I had new bearings on the rear of the Clio after wondering "what the damn hell is that noise, and why is it only at motorway speeds!!" A set of pattern bearings were pressed into the old discs and everything was fine.... for about 200 miles, then one of the new bearings totally disintegrated...

All I want is mid-race saving on 100% races.

good to hear they've been reasonable (finally!). You can polish windscreens, that might help with the scratches, but otherwise will work pay for your windscreen excess? Might be worth dropping into a windscreen place to see what they think about it.

is that gaffa tape up the nose and onto the bonnet?

Don't take that! "you shouldn't have parked [in the car park]" Is he some sort of actual c-unit? Provided you are supposed to park where you were, the damage was caused by an error made by someone working on the part of your company. Tenuously, it's similar to if a builder destroys your house...

G60 Corrado? Now that's a boosted VAG that I could be interested in

Corrado is a great shout.

Are you just bored of the car and looking for a new toy?

Hi Scott, welcome aboard. After coming from a Celica, you may find the 172 Cup a little "raw", it'd be worth having a look at the non-cup Clio's, the benefit of a Cup-spec Clio is almost negligible unless you are, genuinely, some race driver. The non-cup Clio's will come with more creature...

No, just louder

Paint the DRUMS? In black, I hope. If you spray them green then...... sigh

Ron said only the other day that the footage is worthless in Police matters (in that thread where MarkCup was chastising people for speeding, then got reminded of all the videos he put up where he was just as in the wrong). Maybe for insurance the footage carries more weight, don't know

You had a Micra?

Never put a child in a car you want to keep nice.
