Good thread, Maz.
We cut into the right-lane after being sat still, going absolutely fecking nowhere in the middle lane. People just coming into view on the left-hand side, kept rolling forward and managed to get in and we had moved forward about ten bloody feet! :(
Apologies to anyone we got...
Here's a pic, m8 - I hope James doesn't mind me posting it? :o
The camera does the deep bronze colour absolutely no justice whatsoever. You can see a subtle difference between that and the black gold V6 at the side, but there was a stark difference when the sun came out.
When it did, there...
Me likey! :D
Just had a brief drive in StevieGreenstuff's 172 and I must say, it's a significant change from my 182.
The whole package feels a lot more 'raw' and much more willing to tell you what its doing and what is happening to those wheels up front. The 182 does that also, but it feels a...
That silver GDI'd car was Taylor's? I think I walked straight past you without even realising it! Sorry - lol!
Loved the Bat Clio - it well deserved to be in with the Meg's lot.

Hehehe! Is that The Look you reserve for scallies in bus-stops when you're stuck in traffic?! :cool:
How was the mega-early start at work, this morning?

Hehehe - yup, a minging chicken tikka butty for me!
I should probably try their cafe out every once and while. The trouble is, I'd end up ordering the lard-arse, fat mofo All-Day Breakfast!

Fair play to you - not a lot of people admit when they've done wrong. I just hope the insurers go a little easy on you or else you'll be aspiring to a 1.0litre Micra in about 15 years time. ;)

My first time down there and I really enjoyed it. As others have said, the weather did a great job of holding off the rain for the most part and generally, things seemed well organised. Apart from getting in the place - which took us nearly an hour, fighting amongst other Frenchie-mobile owners...
Always leave it in gear. Always start it with the clutch in. Both very good habits to have.
It must be something that's stuck open - it can't really be anything else, I would have thought? Unfortunately, I bet most of the people who would know are on their way to FCS now....
Hope you get it...
That was the main idea, m8 - kill two birds with one stone, so to speak.
To be honest, what Rollo says is a bloody good point too. I hadn't thought of that. Actually looking after your car too well, can at times make potential buyers think that something is amiss.
Bugger. I'm even more...
Is it a worthwhile idea, or total overkill?
Mine will need it's 36k service in the next couple of months and as I plan to stick hold of it for another year - I'm thinking it's another plus-point to the potential buyer at circa 48k and 4 years of age?
Just a random thought bouncing around...
Anyone?
Went out at dinner and when I came back, the nice looking '55 plater was sat in the car park. :cool:
Had a nasty scuff on the front bumper :quiet: - but otherwise looked really well.
I really do have a soft-spot for Trophy's and its not often I see one.

A lot of people picking up RS Clios at the moment? Wish I had a bit more cash for some Evo-ownage so that I could put mine up for sale!
Loads of giddy people - nothing better than picking up a new car!

I wouldn't have even bothered looking up the Beetle's 0-60 time. Offer to take her out in your car and see what she thinks then.
Or.
Get a TT and she'll marry you. Get a Boxster and she'll have your kids. ;)
