    Brand new car - 1500 miles in a weekend :o)

    Thanks :) No she's not lowered, two well built guys in the car made it so low heheh! Tail lamp update...well, the day after mine was made, they started fitting them with LED tail lights. They aren't all that to be honest, seen one for real, I'm not fussed mine didn't have them tbh!

    Brand new car - 1500 miles in a weekend :o)

    It's a nightmare, The last week seemed to go backwards it went so slowly. Not helped by the fact that my job as a UPS man involves delivering to the dealership nearly daily. Now that WAS torture! Still, all good things come to those who wait :)

    I dislike them somewhat! Scratch was made on the 26th so dam close to yours, I thought it was the 28th they started putting them on there, oh well, no loss! Friday night will be the longest night of your life. Even longer than Christmas Eve when you were under 13 years of age lol

    LOL, when I was an admin on clio197.net, I created a Fiesta ST section as a tongue in cheek joke, and there was OUTRAGE! LOL, luckily, people eventually got my joke, and I removed it. They are proper good cars, really really good! Agreed, there are too many, you don't see any clio 200T round...

    Thank you! The handling is truly amazing, that car performs better in every area than I could have imagined, and coming from having owned three cliosports, that is quite something to say!

    Brand new car - 1500 miles in a weekend :o)

    Well, the weekend before last, I added another car to my career. So far, it has been 106>Punto>VTS>Zetec S (Mk5)> Clio 197>Clio 182>ST 150. Out of all of them, my favourite by MILES was the 182, it really was amazing. However, I made the mistake of test driving a Clio 200T and one of these. The...

    Windows 10 Woes!

    Well, its a severe LOL at my Windows Woes! Reinstalled windows 10, and the PC Settings function starts working again, so I go into it and "go back to previous operating system" for it to bring back to life the very buggered previous Windows 10 installation. Out came the factory reset disk...

    Windows 10 Woes!

    I've tried downgrading to 8.1 - it won't allow it because I can't get into PC settings to do it lol! Well, I have a half functioning PC at least. Will wait to see what Microsoft do, I am one of many many people who are suffering this problem!

    Windows 10 Woes!

    What a pile of poo Windows 10 is! Upgraded from 8.1 last week, and the thing wouldn't start at all, it would say "Diagnosing your PC" then come up saying "Unable to start your PC" bla bla bla. Clean installed it yesterday, now Banana (may as well be called that), the start button and no apps...

    1.2 Dynamique metal coolant hose rusted

    Its not the clamp on the rubber part. Its the actual metal pipe that I think goes off to the water pump, its rusted through by the bracket that holds it.

    1.2 Dynamique metal coolant hose rusted

    Asking on behalf of a friend. The coolant pipe that goes behind the aircon pump has rusted through. Been down Renault and can't find the part on their system so hoping someone will know. Anyone know if it has some obscure name or a part number?

    Planetary photography

    Anyone had any success with taking pictures of the more visible planets? Just done one of Jupiter, I KNOW it's crap, but it was my first attempt. Io, Ganymede and Callisto are the three moons visible (I believe!) I don't have a clue how "stacking" works, or how to do it either lol! Anyone...

    You don't have to have an SLR to take some awesome photos

    I'm was not saying phone cameras are better than SLR's, purely saying it is possible to take some awesome pics on a phone. I'd never get rid of my SLR though lol!
