After just over 3 years with the Swift Sport, I finally decided on a change so have bought a Megane 250 - people on here will probably question why I went for a none cup car, but I really fancied something which went well, rode nicely and looked less shouty so this seemed to fit the bill. Yes...

Hi All, Just looking to put some new discs on with some track / fast road pads. Is there really much difference in OEM / Euro car parts Pagid discs over something from Godspeed / Brembo HC? Just trying to justify whether the cost difference is worth it, will the standard pagid items warp...

Hi, I run a website for a friend and have seen a huge drop in ranking from October 2013, no changes to the site, no bad links etc. (I am not an seo but have some very outdated experience) I never created a robots.txt file, I thought that this was not vital if you didn't mind Google crawling...

Seems like ages since going - but finally got round to sorting through pics so thought Id post them! All of them are on FlickR but here are a few...

Went over to Wales today in the Swift to see my mum taking part in the 3 Castles Historic Car Rally, thought I would post a few pics (she was driving the Dino) The trip up towards Bala from Lake Vyrnwn had some of the most amazing roads I have driven!

Saw an RB182 with black turinis by Leeds Bradford Airport this evening, coilovers with cage. Looked really good!

I didn't expect any news on this so soon, but seems an event is being held at Silverstone on Wednesday to announce some sort of release on the future of Gran Turismo. Could be interesting! http://www.gran-turismo.com/gb/news/00_5806733.html?t=info

Just been looking at cars on Autotrader and stumbled across this dealer, who strangely have a number of pink cars for sale, I am somewhat baffled! http://www.sarmstrongcarsales.co.uk/used-cars/search-results?colour=Pink It looks like they bought the fleet off someone!

Saw this on Kirkstall road yesterday around 11am, was in the Swift. It looked really well, sure I recognise it from here, I overtook so I could see what wheels it was on!

Drove a Twizzy today, was impressed overall. Obviously it's a way off a replacement for a car, but as an alternative to a scooter/ small bike I think it's a lot of fun!

Just seen this on Yahoo news, what a nutter! This guy must be really pissed! http://uk.news.yahoo.com/russian-man-destroys-nissan-dealership-in-rampage.html

Anyone else experiencing speed problems with Virgin Media? I can get on here fine, it works quickly as usual, however (ironically) the virgin media site barely loads, the bbc site barely works and a handful of other sites. Yet Google works as normal! Very odd!

Hi there, Just had a drive in this today, my dads bought an old 355 as a project to mint up. It drives really nice, surprisingly easy going and rides well over back roads! Will have to get a vid as it has an aftermarket exhaust on (not sure which one) and decats!

Hi there, After much deliberation on what insurance friendly / cheap to run car I could replace the 182 with, I decided on the Swift Sport. Must say Im impressed with it so far, it was between this and the Zetec S fiesta. Found a good deal on this one which is a 57 plate with 25k miles, full...

Hi there, I may be breaking my clio 182 cup for spares shortly, it suffered a frontal impact, I believe the engine however is ok, does anyone know what an engine, gearbox, ecu would be worth roughly. The car had 54k on the clock, cambelt had been changed recently. Thanks Nick

Hi, I will possibly be breaking my 182 cup for spares shortly, however I was wondering if I need to watch out for anything in terms of the seats. It has Recaro Trendlines fitted from the factory, in the crash the pretensioners went off, the seats are however in immaculate condition. Will the...

Hi all, just got back from another Nurburgring trip, thought I would share a few pics I took on the way. I drove a friends Impreza which was awesome, first time I have driven the ring in anything other than a clio. With 400 bhp, 4wd and some toyo 888's it was awesome! Its the first time I have...

Hi there, Car is in for an MOT this morning, anyone else had a problem with MOT failure due to the mechanism not locking in properly? The base is the problem, you can get it to lock so it doesn't slide forward / backwards but sometimes if you move it, it takes ages to get it to lock back in...

Hi! Saw you earlier about 330pm today, car looked very nice! Saw a CS sticker in the window too I think! Nick

Hi all, This is my 5th RS clio, pleased with it so far, needs some sorting but it should make a good one! Its an 05 with 51k on the clock, got Recaro's fitted too. Its also got a Scorpion cat back and sports cat (fitted by previous owner) So far have had a 4 wheel alignment, I fitted...

Hi all, I have just bought an RB182 cup, the previous reg on it was S* PKO, anyone know of the car? :) Thanks Nick

Hi all, I have recently bought a 182 cup with factory fitted Recaros, however the passenger seat will not lock in place, I tilted it and slid forward whilst cleaning the interior and now it wont lock back in place! I can get it temporarily to if I move the handle about but when I let go it...

Hi all, I am looking at buying a clio 182 cup, do you know if they were fitted with the sill protectors as standard? (when you open the door the stainless protector that is on the standard model) Thanks

Hi all, Thought I would post this up on here - its not the fastest lap and I was driving like a bit of a novice on several occasions, but anyways... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L75dk3WqtgM Ahhh I cant get it to embed :( Also - the Carousel was a complete disaster - I kept the ESP on with...
