So as i posted a couple of month back or so i bought an Astra Coupe. No, it's not to everyone's taste. No, it's not my usual choice in cars but it does it's job that i bought it for and tbh i reckon it looks pretty smart. I got it back from the bodyshop the other week and now it's had a bit...

So i bought this instead. 53 plate 1.8 16v Astra Coupe Edition 100. Which basically means heated leather and Centenary Blue paint, it would also have had BBS wheels standard although i'm not a fan of them anyway! These wheels are Omega MV6's and look great imo. Basically the Polo was just too...

So, i thought i'd post a few better pictures up of the Polo now it's had a quick polish (nothing fancy, i'll detail it in a few weeks)... I've still yet to raise it - was going to do it this weekend but with it being bank holiday and the weather being good i went out on the motorbike instead...

So basically, i'm trying to move out the parents and get my own place - running a 330 is expensive at the best of times, let alone when getting your own place so i decided to downgrade. I still wanted something fun but it needed to be cheaper to buy and run. Stumbled across this and decided to...

Well, i already know (and knew when i bought the car) that CS doesn't particularly approve of my latest purchase entirely. However i love it, the fuel consumption is a bit harsh but other than that i'm really starting to connect with the car - a lot more than i expected to! My general opinion of...

Thought i'd share some pics of the replacement for the mx5... The Mazda sold really quick which i was happy about and yesterday i picked this up. 330ci M Sport Coupe, coilovers, m3 wheels, carbon wrapped roof and few other bits etc. The exhaust has really grown on me, not loud at all but sounds...

I don't think this is a repost... Bit american cheesy but ah well:

Thought i'd share these shots as they've had a good reception elsewhere and people on here seem to appreciate the little Mazda's :) mazdadirty by chippen172, on Flickr mazdaclumerglared by chippen172, on Flickr dirtymazda by chippen172, on Flickr mazdaclumberfront by chippen172, on...

Just thought i'd put some more recent pics on here for the fellow mx5 owners/appreciators... Most recent addition is the splitter, which has made a ton of difference imo :) Been for a couple of spirited drives this weekend and got to say i love this little car. Not the quickest thing by a...

Just thought i'd whack some pics up as i know some on here enjoy the little Roadsters. Yes, i have Rota's - please don't turn this into a Rota bashing thread, if you like my car that's cool. If you don't then fair enough! :) jap by chippen172, on Flickr rota by chippen172, on Flickr mx5...

I'll warn you now, the majority are Saxo's and 106's... In fact, there's no Clio's! Haha. Don't know why i didn't take any pics of Clio's :S But anyway, still some nice motors: vtr by chippen172, on Flickr wassyschmidts by chippen172, on Flickr mx5black by chippen172, on Flickr...

Being as i'm bit of an ASW i thought i'd whack these pics up. My mates missus took them on the way to Ultimate Dubs earlier this year... I've finally managed to get them off her in a higher resolution tonight :) Of course, i sold the Clio probably a couple of month ago now, though. The...

A few folks have told me to put some pics up of the new motor so i thought i'd whack a thread up for it. Sold the Flamer to a lad on here abooout 3 or 4 week ago now. As soon as he'd took it i went and picked this up. In a nut shell it's slower, older and the brakes are pants until you get...

Well, a forum member came and left me a deposit on her yesterday. Nice lad and clearly surrounded by Renault nut's too, so she's going to a good home :) I thought i'd take her out for some shots, possibly the last one's i'll take unless we get time to put her alongside a certain Sunflower! It...

Now, i'm all for stance - so long as it's not over the top. However i think i've found a new meaning to over the top :S

Spotted it whilst in the van today. Silver, white 5 spokes... Had a really nice stance! 3/4 plate. Actually spotted quite a few RS Clio's but that one stood out :)

I'll be blunt, i wouldn't go again. However there were the odd few nice cars. whitemx5 by chippen172, on Flickr mazdabbs by chippen172, on Flickr bluelupo by chippen172, on Flickr saxo by chippen172, on Flickr ep3 by chippen172, on Flickr ep3front by chippen172, on Flickr 205 by...

Spotted in water meadows car park. Looked a fairly standard example with both Cup packs. Had CS.net sticker and a private plate. Forget exactly what it was now. Tonight at about 6pm.

Was waiting for my mates before we went Ultimate Dubs yesterday so took a few shots in the sun. Nothing spectacular just random shots :) flamerultdubs by chippen172, on Flickr clioultdubs by chippen172, on Flickr 172ultdub by chippen172, on Flickr

Just thought i'd whack some pics up for anyone who's interested. Was a good day. Lot's of good quality cars. Smaller show than i expected but i've never been to a Dub show before. Not all shots are great, could have done with upping the ISO so there was less chance of handshake with the...

Spotted passing by PC World last night. Maybe about 9pm ish?? Think i'm right on the reg. Looked to be lowered, buckets, single exhaust, perhaps on black 2118's (hard to tell when rolling).

Few pics from today's meet. Nice to meet you all. More cars than i expected!! Few shots are a bit shaky as i said they would be lol. csmeet by chippen172, on Flickr csmeet2 by chippen172, on Flickr stejimny by chippen172, on Flickr harphamyo by chippen172, on Flickr 197yo by...

Spotted a Flamer, possibly with carbon bonnet? In Kirkby. Also had 182 wheels. Then in Alfreton/Tibshelf i passed a Trophy with T12PHY on the plate, sure it's off here?! I actually waved despite being in the van, natural habit lol!

Alright people, For some reason after processing my pictures i'm losing EXIF data. I've tried 'Save as' and 'Save for web'. In the Save for web bit i've got the Metadata part set to 'All' so i thought it should be working?! I can't figure it out and all my EXIF is saying is just the pixel...

Parked in Sainsburys :)

Okay, i've bought another lens to go with my EOS 1100D. But for standard kit lens (EF-S 18-55) i need a rear cap for when it's not in use. Is this what i want? http://www.jessops.com/online.store/products/12533/show.html Thanks in advance

Picked my Cup spoiler up from the bodyshop yesterday. Looks pretty good imo :) cedited by chippen172, on Flickr bedited by chippen172, on Flickr aedited by chippen172, on Flickr

Hi folks, I've had a search and not come up with much. My mum's TomTom refuses to get GPS signal in my car, only occasionally will it work and even then it's temperamental. My Uncle came round with his iPhone 3GS which is jail broken today and that had perfect GPS signal (TomTom app) outside...

Silver 182 with no cup packs iirc. Followed you into Water Meadows (not stalking lol). Blonde driving. Had ClioSport.net sticker under rear spoiler.
