    My New Car

    Spot on.... ;) Glad you like it Andy, hopefully you'll have as much fun in it as i did! Oh, and love the 106 too, that looks the business. Is that a 2" Pugsport exhaust? I used to have a 1.6 106 XSi, awesome cars.

    My first bit of proper motoring journalism...

    Cheers, to be honest i originally had it at about 700 words, but they requested between 1000 and 1200, so i padded it out a bit. I guess its a skill of a journalist to keep the reader interested so that they don't realise its so long. All stuff i need to learn....

    My first bit of proper motoring journalism...

    Yep that's right - basically £10k per year. Some people get the idea, some don't. Hey Christopher, i'm up in Lymm at the mo visiting the folks for xmas, i'll keep an eye out for the FPM, i'm in my girlfriends poxy 1.2 Dynamique - where's all the power gone?!?!?!?!

    My first bit of proper motoring journalism...

    Cheers for the comments all, it means a lot that people like it! I got into it through my membership to http://www.ecurie25.co.uk I've been a member for a couple of years, and whenever i took a car out i stuck a little 500 word post up on the Pistonheads forum about it. I got a fair bit of...

    custom modded k-tec Mk2 stealth

    'Wierd', but certainly addictive! It goads me into driving to the limiter so i can make it do its little vocal tricks, and ends up with me doing 23mpg!!!

    The LOWEST MK2?

    Sorry to say it, but that looks ridiculous to me. There's low, and there's silly low which looks like your car has no suspension...

    Whatever happened to Chris Harris' BG V6 with full leather interior?

    Ha! I knew there was a reason why i've kept all my Autocars every week back to 1992..... I'll get back to this once i've found that Reg number...

    Whatever happened to Chris Harris' BG V6 with full leather interior?

    So nobody has any info on where Monkey's car went? (after the brief thread tangent...)

    Whatever happened to Chris Harris' BG V6 with full leather interior?

    Surely someone must know its whereabouts?

    How gorgeous is this Vee?

    I don't like any other wheels, just those Comps. They really suit the more rounded nature of the car IMO.

    Whatever happened to Chris Harris' BG V6 with full leather interior?

    I was just thinking back, and remembered that Chris Harris had a Black Gold Mk2 V6 as an Autocar Long termer a while ago. Now the main difference was it had a full cream leather interior - a £1500 option IIRC. Not seen it anywhere since, so i wonder if it went on to be a renault UK car, or if...

    How gorgeous is this Vee?

    For me, the addition of those 18" Compomotives makes the V6 look a million times better... http://www.rims-cars.co.uk/RIMSStock/10.htm I want!!!!!

    Steering 'clunking' noise? WTF?

    Anyone live near Wickford that fancies coming round and having a look? I've got decent mechanical nous, but if there's someone near who knows Clios inside out and would be able to diagnose instantly it'd be a real help. I've not had it too long, and haven't had to work on it yet! There'll be a...

    Steering 'clunking' noise? WTF?

    Cheers Tom, do you have any details of size, fitting etc?

    Steering 'clunking' noise? WTF?

    Okay, so over the last couple of days my steering has developed a 'clunk' when you turn the wheel when stationary, left to right. You can also feel a 'jump' when you turn onto full lock in reverse/1st as you move off, as if something isn't right with the front sus. I can't get under the car to...

    197 Renaultsport stickers on my Monaco 172?

    Are they silver or white stickers? They look great though, i think i'll be getting a set for sure...

    LHS Headlight washer jet?

    Sweet. I'll pop down to The Toomey Stealers this avo and see...

    LHS Headlight washer jet?

    Anyone know how much one of these would be from Renault? Some prick has reversed into my car in a car park and driven off. Luckily the paintwork stuff will polish out, but they ripped off the washer jet while they were at it. I'm guessing its a bumper off job to refit as well. w*****s.

    So who's the Group Buy dude then? :D

    197 Renaultsport stickers on my Monaco 172?

    I think rear looks best, but they are a bit steep at £40. Group buy?

    197 Renaultsport stickers on my Monaco 172?

    I was thinking along the lines of either front or rear placement. I've chopped both onto this pic very roughly...

    197 Renaultsport stickers on my Monaco 172?

    Okay, these aren't the ones in the group buy, but these ones: I'm thinking of getting a set in silver to go with the new style badges on the back. Just updates the car a little, i feel. So what do people think? will they look good? I may do a litttle photochop...

    F***ing birds!!!

    Typical, cleaned my car on tuesday night, gave it a proper going over. Parked my car outside work yesterday, only to find when i returned that all the local birds have used it as target practice! Little f***ers!! Another hour of pressure washer, car shampoo and tar&bug remover, and its back...
