    Cleaned my black gold 182

    Hmm, I recognise that car! ;) Looks cleaner than the day it left.

    Revisiting old games

    Baldurs Gate 1 and 2 are now on the iPad. Still brilliant, great way to pass the time on a train journey.

    CLIO IV RS - Trophy from page 111

    I had a brief go in the colchester demo today and I actually thought it was a pretty good car. It actually would suit me quite well as I am in the market for a 5dr hot hatch. I didn't mind the fact it looks pretty similar to a 1.2, it went well, handled nicely and was easy to drive quickly...

    A "Perfect" Experience?

    GP out - Exige in

    I've not had any problems like this with mine. However, the heater thing is a known issue I think caused by water sitting in the bottom of the front clam, it's a clam off job to fix but it's do-able.

    Epic Elise (680WHP)

    No, he's been perma-banned - frank/ronin doesn't take criticism very well and has been known to be a bit 'abrupt' to anyone who might have a different opinion to him. He's on pistonheads and exiges.com (and lotustalk too I think).

    New 200

    Excellent advice this.

    Winter Tyres

    AO48s for me - so probably won't move much till April! Need to buy some jump leads... Won't bother with the wife's astra either. Winter tyres make no difference to my commute, I get the train and one flake of snow basically brings the system grinding to a halt.

    Deals on 200s

    Personally I'm all for the trend towards 5 door hot hatches, but I have a baby on the way! I might've kept the megane if it had been a 5 door...

    new fiat 500 abarth

    The TDO will probably have arranged for a photographer to be there. He will take 30 or so pictures of your car during the day and you pay him between £20 and £40 if you want to buy them. Enjoy. Remember you aren't racing anyone...

    200 Cup Owners - Spec help needed

    I almost ordered a 200 last year at the time the cheap PCP deal. Had a long test drive in one, 200, black, gt spoiler, cup chassis, black speedlines, tinted rear windows. It would've gone on the track, so I definitely wanted the cup chassis (but personally, I wouldn't have it if I have no plans...

    Video of me driving my Clio172cup at Bedford. Ferrari and Exige vids as well.

    If you don't mind. Although I usually try to get out of the way fairly promptly of caterfields, and I don't think I had much tracktime with the Clio.

    Do you have any other videos from 30 April?

    Some nice shots of my replacement 172cup. 'T6 CUP' plus some Bedford pics

    Thanks for the offer, very kind and I'd love to take you up on it. But it's 1.5 hours each way for me from north london to the track (and that's on a clear early morning run) so I won't be able to make it. However, now I know who you are (I've seen you on a few days I've done previously)...

    Some nice shots of my replacement 172cup. 'T6 CUP' plus some Bedford pics

    Lucky you, I go 3 or 4 times a year and then a few other places on top - so I suppose you didn't mind the over booking and not getting on track till 10am! Hopefully off to Donnington at end of month (with ET again...) assuming I can get the holiday from work. I don't think the orange NA exige...

    Some nice shots of my replacement 172cup. 'T6 CUP' plus some Bedford pics

    I was there on Saturday with the grey megane, so all of those are yours? Had a good look over the 172, looked nicely sorted - I'd lose the stickers personally though. Was more impressed with your exige though! I had a passenger ride in the orange NA one that was there and it made me want one...

    Does anyone know this car?

    This was going to be a second car, so starting with no NCB. Needless to say, the 250 is under 800 a year. The point is that the horrific number of chavs buying and crashing these cars means that insurance costs are disproportionately expensive.

    I've also seen her on a few. Her husband has a yellow 996 GT3.

    Does anyone know this car?

    Bah, I've lost interest. The cheapest insurance I could get on the car was over 2k! How do 19 year olds afford these cars? As a comparison, I stuck exactly the same details as I used for this car into confused.com, but with a Lotus Exige S worth £22k as the car to be insured - and the cheapest...

    Does anyone know this car?

    It's been due them for over a year - so hopefully would have been done as the add claims FSH.

    Does anyone know this car?

    http://pistonheads.co.uk/sales/2349731.htm Having seen how the botton has dropped out of 182s since I sold mine last year, I fancy buying another and using it as a track car for the summer. This seems an ideal candidate and it's been up for sale for at least two months. Has anyone been to...

    clio v6 v megane 250 evo comparison

    For the person posting about a comparson with the 182 - I'm not a driving god, and I've only done the Bedford GT track thus far in both cars, but it's ridiculous how much faster the 250 is compared to the 182. Bigger, heavier and less fun in my opinion, but it is so, so easy to drive fast, has...

    Any recommended garages near High wycombe

    Re: Any recommended garages near home counties? They're usually very busy and it takes Tom a while to respond to things, but I'm sure he'll contact you, especially when he sees this thread.

    Any recommended garages near High wycombe

    Re: Any recommended garages near home counties? JMS in uxbridge are probably reasonably convenient for you - just down the M40.

    Russ's new toy - Lotus content

    I've been looking at these for the past month, and there's one up on pistonheads that keeps on catching my eye. Azure blue, 99 T, 54k miles and less than 8k. I'm seriously tempted, the problem is that I'm not sure how it will cope living outside on my drive over the winter months. If I had a...

    Brakes

    Do a search, there's a million threads... I had ds2500s and brembo hc discs. Did loads of track days on them. Well worth the money, which is why they're the standard answer on here. I never bothered with changing the brake hoses.

    new car Abarth 500

    I think the personal insult is unnecessary; but I'm not going to bother with this. I genuinely don't understand how you can contemplate spending £100 + on a vinyl wrap, several hundred quid on a new (unnecessary) exhaust, and yet won't spend £2 more on the recommended fuel for the car...

    new car Abarth 500

    No I can read just fine thanks, but I don't understand. 40 litres of v-power will cost about £2 more than 40 litres of standard. Isn't a new exhaust is several hundred quid?
