I work in IT and so I'm pretty computer literate, but networks aren't my strong point so I'd like to run something by people before I spend any money. I'm looking at buying a NAS box at some point for storing music etc etc and opinions on the web seem to be that NAS without gigbit network is...

I believe there is a fix out there somewhere for this but I found this very funny. I was copying some photos to a CD using Vista itself, and it took ages. However the time on the progress indicator was funny in itself: This was the worst one and it varied wildly. I think this was about...

Up Ridge Hill, Stalybridge this morning. Parked on Harrison Street. Passed it a couple of times at about 12ish or 1 on my way to B&Q and coming back. Then saw it driving down towards the lights. Seen it once before at the same junction - are you local?

Took my 172 Cup for it's first MOT today. I'd printed off the advisory notice pdf about the load sensing valve actuating arm being missing (thanks to loony for posting a link in another thread). However the MOT tester already knew all about it - maybe things are changing! Passed fine - a...

In the car park at about 07:00 today. Second time I've seen it parked there. Thought mine was the only 172Cup in the area.

I work near the center of Sale (Manchester) Town Center. In our visitors carpark is a Blue (looks like the 172 Cup colour) 182 . Got the splitter so I assume it's "Cupped". Anyone on here?

After having my 172 Cup for about a year, I was looking at a photo of another Cup the other week and thought, "so that's the splitter....wait a minute...mine hasn't gone one", a bit sad I know. So to remedy that I've bought a K-Tec Carbon fibre splitter which I'm going to have to pick up from...

About 2 o'clock this afternoon. Went in to pick up some shopping. Parked away from everybody to help avoid car park "dings". When I came out an 04 reg 182 in (what looked like) the same blue as my 172 cup was parked 2 spaces up. Made me do a double take when I walked up. It had silver...

I was heading toward Manchester and there was a 182 heading off the Mway onto the A49 toward Warrington. Is Inferno that orangey colour? What an awesome colour!

Sale, Manchester (not for sale, Sale the place) Stopped at the lights in the outside lane. Dark sunvisor on the top of the windscreen and little yellow "Senna" (i think it was) badges under the indicator repeaters. I crossed the road (on foot) in front. Cup looked nice.....

I was driving down Lord Sheldon Way heading out of Ashton-Under-Lyne (probably about before 12-ish this afternoon), got to the Cineworld/KFC/Bowling roundabout and there was a Williams really giving it some coming round the roundabout the other way. Watch out for the marked Police car often...

First V6 I've seen on the road! Centre of Sale (that's in Manchester not for Sale) 55 Reg Blue colour (looked similar to the colour of my 172 Cup). Looked awesome, then took off when the lights changed

This morning at 08:30 passing Dukinfield Town Hall (Tameside - Manchester). Black 02 reg 172 with 182 alloys and an aftermarket single exhaust. Looked nice and clean - thought it was a 182 until I saw the reg. The dark alloys looked really nice on the black car.

Had a lot of rain recently and was out the other day. When I took off got some wheelspin and heard quite a load knocking from the front. As soon as she got traction it stopped. It does it bit if I get serious wheelspin in the dry, but it's really loud when the wheels spin in the wet...

Today at 08:00 in Sale saw what I thought was a silver 172 or 182 with Cup alloys in the outside lane at the (red) lights. When I got closer (I was on foot) I spotted the Cup badge. First (silver) one I've ever seen - looked nice.

My key fob button doesnt always work - the little red light doesnt always glow so it doesnt lock or unlock. I changed the battery and it made no difference. If I take the PCB out and press the "button" on there the LED glows so it looks like its something wrong woth the key case itself...

Just back from a week on the east coast. This was the first real long trip Id made since getting the Cup. Drove over to the east coast from Manchester with a full tank, (new) spare, full boot and 2 passengers. Had a couple of days out driving around the A & B roads of Lincolnshire. The...

Im sure this was covered fairly recently but I cant find it anywhere. Ive had my 172 Cup since June. End of the month Im going away for a week (in the car). The post I saw on here got me thinking about the (lack of the) spare. If I have a puncture will the two bottles in the boot get me...

Hello, Im new here - just thought Id introduce myself. I sold my 306 GTi6 last week and yesterday bought a 53 Plate 172 Cup. Still getting used to it, doesnt seem as small as I expected, but its quite "pointy". I think - "I want to be over there"...and Im there If my experience with 306...
