dont bet on it. passport only covers call charges too, data is still a big cash cow that I believe you need to have agreed to new terms and conditions over.

£43k could buy you a good car, why do this? or is it a prize for the best salesboy in the estate agency?

remote displays for theft deterent (because a wimpy standard-fit renault unit must be sooo nickable!) the remote display is a double edged sword anyway, if you have one and change your head unit, you're looking at anywhere up to around £80 to get it workin again (well, that was for my alpine...

After manufacturers spend millions in getting handling set-ups for their performance vehicles sorted, the obvious thing for anyone to do is to bolt on a couple-of-hundred quids worth of aftermarket springs and shocks then throw all the recommended settings in the bin. mnnnnnnurrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

to all of those on here who complain about insurance costs (generally the sub-25's), this is why

rear window seals? if they open?

Thanks chaps. We saw a couple of wasps, no more than any bit of country-garden, although we did get a free take-away wasp in one of the gift-bags. lovely. I'm informed the engine should be fine. The cambelt didn't go anywhere, there's still a good sumpful of oil and the coolant hadn't all...

All of a sudden the dash pack lights up and the temp. tops out. There's a mile or so of panic thinking, the electrical warning is flickering like a strobe and the engine symbol has turned red. No time to think, just get on that hard shoulder. So, broken down on the side of the M4 I pop the hood...

Only 1 thing I'll add. when you've gone and "raced" whichever motor winds you up, it doesn't mean you're big, nor clever. "Racing" suggests a track, not a 300yard stretch of road between McDonalds and Halfords car parks

I was harassed by 2 pikeys in a 4x4 "eee, waddis it have unda tha bonnet there d'yno" well, sir, it's the Renaultsport 2 litre At the turn of the green lights he axle-tramped his way down the road while I shook my head as the Hyundai thing chopped up about 3 motors, almost exactly where I'd have...

love it. would have one any day of the week, in the white / green-brown 2-tone. mind, I'd also take a 480 Turbo too, for a track banger

Overtake you mean ;)

Finally, a decent bit of trim in a Twingo!

Wasn't the R26 the first to have the LSD? That would change the cars dynamics massively

THIS Bare in mind that you could well end up with an undrivable jalopy that will only lead to you making your first insurance claim even quicker, meaning from-factory-quick vehicles will be out of reasonable-reach for a while longer

I chopped the MX-5 in for a MG ZR 160 because I didn't want the missus ending up going backwards into a ditch days after passing her test. Wish I'd taken the risk now though (OK, not exactly on topic)

Look for - AMD

hell yeah, anyone with a PROPER PS3 (not some cheaply-knocked-up cut-price shoddy model) will find memory card slots in the bay above the USB's... and they'll be able to play most of their Playstation back catalogue

there's no sense in wasting any petrol on a 1.2

yep, sure can. you have to hard-wire your source into the slingbox though. for instance V+ HD Box----> Slingbox ------> Router ------> Wi-Fi -------> Receiving computer or Router ------> Internet -----> Receiving computer (SD only)

can't see why you couldn't, a Slingbox HD can do it from an HD source to a PC

the 'other' matrix Nokia (7110, with WAP!) was a complete bag of shite. Everyone wanted an 8110 about a year after it stopped being sold, suckers

mine sometimes slows down, then when you pop the memory cards out, it's back to full speed. I didn't even notice it, the engineer did. my 60gb never skipped a beat for 3.5 years (well, aside from Fallout crashing randomly), then a COD crash manged to detonate the laser

8110, on Voda contract, when I was 18 FTW would have another one any day of the week

Downloads canbe re-downloaded onto the same user account without a worry. I dont know about any of the newer ones, but my 1st release PS3 allows me to send pretty much anything to or from USB or memory stick. Oh, and to those who have PS3 breakdowns, I recommend PS Pro's in Bow, London. Sorted...

Well, to stop myself from losing too many hours in the wasteland aain, I pulled out an old copy of Need For Speed Pro Street that I picked up for a fiver since it had no instructions or case. so I'm not ALWAYS spending too much for games

ah, right. Well, never heard of that before. Too late now and I'm not banging another one for the 4hp drop I'll never notice (or have got to use) :(

Yep, MX-5 owners are seemingly more "communal" than Clio onwers. But an MX-5 is a sports car in all its guises wheras a Clio can be a shopping trolley, a hot hatch, or a shopping trolley with money wasted on it to try and make it look like a hot hatch. You always get thumbs / waves / flashes...

It may not be stock, but it's as near as damnit. I just took my 172 into a local garage and they just ordered "an exhaust", nothing fancy and it fitted fine. And wasn't expensive

DAMN! Remote control car included!? (I'll stick with the normal release version and my Nitro RX-7 though)
