What's wrong with that Simon? Doesn't it say 5.05mpg? About right for a Vee.... ;) D.

I like the chunks of paint that have clearly fallen off/been scraped off the front valance. Niiiiiice ;) D.

Coming home from work tonight. Just got through the lights near Fairfield Hospital and the George & Dragon pub and spotted a muchos-lowered Willy on the other side of the road. When it set off, there was a distinct whistle-noise spooling up - making me immediately think that it was turbo'd...

The funny thing was though, the slightest difference in driving made it vary wildly. Looping into 5th gear easily put it in the 50+mpg bracket, a blat on the motorway slip-road dropped it to low 40s. The figure was so easy to change, dependant on how much your right-foot went down. Previous to...

If only it stayed that way! :D It tripped over the 17,000 mark on the motorway and for some reason, reset all the trip, mileage, mpg etc. Must be a standard Reno thing - either that, or mine got that fed up waiting to be reset - it did it itself. D.

Let me guess. It had 3ft of clearance between the rear wheel and the rest of the bodywork? Why the hell do people waste their money on crap like that? D.

About 30mins ago. Parked in the pickup-point bay. I 'think' I glanced a view of a Willy there too - Flaming Monkey, perhaps? D.

Good pics! I just can't shake the feeling though, that the 197 looks boring as hell compared to the out-going 182. I think it could be the wheels, or the fact that it looks so tall. D.

Still kiddies-stuff compared to the likes of GTR and GTL on the PC. :rasp: GT4 is a great game, don't get me wrong. But comparing the two is like having a can of Top-Deck Lager & Lime flavour, then trying GTR and realising you've had a gallon of Tennent's Ultra Monsta Get-Pissed Quick Largoh. D.

Lol! :D D.

Biggest problem with that R5 is the weedy intercooler. Surely to god he could have got a larger one? ;) D.

Got a stupid price for me alone on Jain's V6 - stupid, as in good! Bell Direct came in at circa £600, which is part of the Admiral Group, iirc. Mind you, I am an old fart at 31 - I don't think I can remember back to when I was 18! ;) Currently with Sainsbury's Bank Online. They were by far the...

So it's also available in the shops then? Not just an online download like the 'booster packs' for BF2? I hope so - Steam sucks biddy's c***s, imo....:mad: D.

Now that would be an idea. Completely understated and most who saw it wouldn't have a clue as to the potential under the bonnet.... ;) D.

I'd be up for that - me and my Lotus Cortina! :cool: Can't fecking wait for GTR2. I'll need a new PC for then though! D.

Buying it is the easy bit - it's the frequent trips to the petrol pumps that hurts! ;) D.

PMSL - so true!!! :cool: He was probably peed off with the Veyron doing him on the twisties. Once on flat tarmac - WHITE VAN MAN went out of his way to prove his superior motor. 1000bhp? Pah! Bloody good spot mind - looks great! D.

LOL - and he called you ghey? Let me guess - his idea of the perfect Repmobile would be with 22" rims, blacked out windows and 500kg of ICE in the boot. Tell him to have a blat in a 172/182 and then ask him to find an equivalent car for the same money. Probably the same kind of person who...

Nice one - cheers for the info guys. Make sense to get a new one then.... Any group buys on the horizon? ;) D.

Does it need cleaning and if so, how often and what with? Mine's been in there for about 15k now. Just wondered if it needed a trip to the laundrette? Cheers, D.

That's the bit that worries me the most. I'd happily still run games from an MS-DOS command line given the chance. Damn that 640k limit. ;) Eye-candy for eye-candy's sake is nothing but a complete waste of time and resources in an O/S, imo. D.

:S - I'd tell her to park to the kerb closer than that - especially with Captain Caravan Man parked at the side of yours. Why is it, everyone with a trailer hook has no comprehension of opening car doors without letting them fly out to within a millimetre of the car parked at the side?! ;) D.

Yikes! Windows O/S's trying to be Macs - Macs with Intels trying to be PCs? Where will it all end?! :S Oh well, it will all end up being badged Microsoft eventually.... :p D.

Not true edde. The Cup suspension increases your cornering speeds - allows you to brake later - increases your top end speed, reduces world debt, helps climate change, promotes growth of fresh bamboo for pandas and errr, also looks better than non-Cup setup. Well, that's what the Reno guy told...

See - so close, yet so far! We'll probably have a look again over the weekend sometime? Yep, my 182 is totally standard bar the ITG panel filter. Would like to make a few mods to it, but my eyes are drawn towards the Meggy 225 F1 Team car. If those black versions ever make it to the UK shores...

Hi m8 - yep, that was us. Like two crazed stalkers! :D We'd had a blat over to my parents in Ashton and on the way back came through Heywood and thought if we could spot your 182. I did spot that Bentley - was it the one with a couple of Boxsters near it? The reg on the Vee ends in GAX - if...

Where are we off to tonight, then, Mrs. Smith?! :cool: D.

I'd email that to Renault UK, if I was you, m8. Things like that are not only a pisstake, but bloody dangerous too. D.

Only used it properly once - when I drove from north of Manchester to my m8's wedding just outside Worthing. Came in real handy then. I do switch it on every now and then also - just to relax my right foot! D.
