The good 'ol Punto Sporting 1.6 8v. Didn't get it at 19 - couldn't afford that then, but it was my first car.... I wonder if P170 NVU is still knocking about somewhere??? D.

About 20 mins ago. Apologies to the occupant - I think I terrorised her by knocking on the glass and saying 'hi'. Not a good way to introduce ones' self. Sorry again..... ;) D.

Stupid price, but you can get it..... http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00004UBJN/?tag=cliospnet01-21 I must admit, DOTT was superb. Brilliant attention to detail and a great sense of humour. D.

Niiiiiiice! They look great with the silver contrast of the car! :approve: D.

Must admit, that G5 we recently bought, did look the part. I'd had no idea what I'd use it for, mind! The only thing I would have to change with any Mac if I bought one - would be to get a 2-button USB mouse. The whole 1-button Mac thing is just...........wrong. ;) D.

Who was B.A again??? ;) D.

Spotted a 172 Cuppa coming off the roundabout and then a silver 182 in a similar spot about 30 minutes later. Anyone off here? Approx 12.15 - 12.45? D.

^^^^ - bloody hell! Insurers really do take the p1ss at times.... :mad: D.

Do you realise that 150 people have viewed this thread? Of those, 149.5 probably haven't got the foggiest idea what's going on...... ;) D.

Yey - well done! It seems like you've been after one for ages - good things come to those who wait, eh?! ;) Just take it easy for the first few weeks until you get used to the additional power. What is it over the Ka? Something like a three-fold increase? Lol! D.

Good call. :approve: RivaTuner is the nutts. I have it installed on mine to ramp up the fan speeds on the gfx cards as they default to something stupid like 30%. Cooler runnings - higher clocks.... :cool: D.

LOL - that was my first time on MySpace and it's just as bad as I had thought. What a load of complete and utter pointless b****cks. I hope to God all accounts aren't plastered with such total sh1te? Jeezuz - it makes Big Brother look educational in comparison. Therefore (to the OP) - don't...

Didn't you know? Reno were that desperate to get the 182 out the door quickly that they went into partnership with these guys for the steering wheel.... Great news on the Trophy - the only other Clio I'd sell my 182 for. Or possibly a Vee.............. possibly. ;) D.

Yep - the pricing band tends to follow a 'U' shape. Mad expense from new, then becomes cheaper as it becomes more popular. Then it dies out and becomes more expensive again. Some of the original HP-Compaq memory is a fortune for older (5 years+) servers, for example. D.

Re: f**king idiot lorry drivers ^^^^^^ - Whoa! Brown-trousers moment! :eek: D.

Re: f**king idiot lorry drivers Unlucky pal.... sorry to hear it. :( Fecking construction trucks are the ones that REALLY feck me right off. FFS - how difficult can it be to sweep the tailgate door clear of sh1t before they set off? Instead of leaving it to rain chippings and other crap...

Actually, that's not quite true, my fellow PGGT aficionado.... ;) I put a steering lock on mine one day in the summer. Part of the leather stuck to the bloody lock and took two strips off the wheel when I took it off. :dapprove: Having said that, it was a great wheel. Loved the little notches...

Sounds the nutts! :approve: D.

Nowt new, I know, but the old Dale Winton-esque indicator bulbs got changed for the Silvatec ones from Halfords. I'm amazed that such a subtle change makes the front end look a lot tidier. I actually think it looks even better on a black car as the orange of the indicators just clashed really...

I would love to do that and not get bollocked for it. I would happily pay out of my own pocket for frontal repairs on the 182, if it meant one or two of them were put out of action for a few months. Complete, total and utter scum. Who probably will breed the next batch of worthless scum..... :( D.

That sums it up pretty well, I think. Oh, and the dash looks very similar too. ;) D.

LOL - well spotted! :) Glad you like the R27, jocker. I really try to convince myself that I like the look of them, but I can't quite manage it. However, it's your car and you love it - that's the important bit! Must admit, the decals look well against a black car. I wish Reno hadn't put 2005...

Great first car there, m8 - you shouldn't knock it! :) As others - clear side indicators would be a prime target for some change - and the slight lowering in that Photoshop picture looks great. You may/may not get bummed on the insurance with that though? D.

As Gee said above - if both were standard, I'd say the 182 would have the definite edge. But then you're talking cheap turbo tuneage, reliable Jap mechanicals and a lighter car to begin with. If fettled, the Glanza would almost certainly kick the Clio's ass. D.

Hey - well done! :) I'm sure you'll like it. Mine still keeps me entertained after 2.5 years! D.

XP64. Only causes a problem on the rare occasion you get lazy goddamn programmers (i.e. on Doom 3) who don't allow the Install Shield to recognise XP64. Apart from that, it's the daddy. More server-based than PC and it runs 99% of the games I throw at it, fine. I'll be joining the Vista...

LOL - same here! 10d currently with our Quantum Superloader-3. D.

Yes - by quite some time now. ;) D.

I agree. I've got two 7900GTX cards myself, but unless you see a decent bargain coming up, there would be no point in going for one over an 8800 series card. EDIT : Ah, yours is AGP. Forget the above then! D.

Aye - all the posts above about using minimal amounts are so true! It's a right bar-steward to get off if you cake the car in it - not to mention the fact that you're just wasting most of it.... D.
