    Just picked up my new car....

    Cheers, well the SMG takes a little bit of practice.... best not the view it as an auto but treat it like a manual without out clutch pedal if that makes sense. In auto, lifting off the acc pedel seems to prompt a gear change earlier/smoother and in manual mode if you are just cruising about...

    Just picked up my new car....

    Cheers all ! Well, that 35mpg did include about 30mins of cruise control at 50 (road works with specs) I couldnt decided whether to have a manual or smg but decided to give it a try... looks smart too and tbh im already liking it alot.... nice novelty.

    Just picked up my new car....

    Well, I had an older 535 over the winter so that honed my oversteer. 340 bhp is a different story though.

    My £400 V8 :-)

    My £400 V8 :-)

    Ok, so it was a little more than £400 but i'll explain. After writing off my clio, i bought a Mk3 Golf GTI for £300, gave it a wash and sold it for £900..... added an extra £100 to that and bought this for a just over a grand. Therefore only spending £400. Thats how i like to look at it anyway...

    Another 'Is it a write off' thread?

    Sorry to hear bud. Wrote mine off in May. Was a 54 plate with 65k. Got £5300 for it so well happy. Has worked out pretty well. Bought an in-between car, sold it for a profit and now have a V8 Beemer haha. Onwards and upwards...ish.

    is my clio an import?

    Yeah, as above. Mine was one as i bought it from motorpoint. Not a big prob though. Just an exsuse for a mean alarm/motion sensor like mine had.

    Mongol Rally 2009

    Yeah, our cost were around £3500 for 2. Got the car for very little but spent a huge chunk of money living it up in 5 star hotels after a hard few nights in the middle of nowhere or driving for 32 hrs non stop. Loads of camping done though during the 7 weeks A little bit on spares, lights...
