    With a lady driving, coming in from oakington/cottenham way in the morning and going back in the afternoon. I was in the dirty Monaco blue one in the morning

    I shouldn't have come in here, I'm already suffering withdrawal cos the mother in law is sleeping in the computering room.

    A damn good thrashing!

    my exhaust rattles like a t**t at 4k so it gets run at under 4k til it's warm and then it's not allowed under 5k until I get where I'm going. and guilt? b****cks

    Orange cancelled contract after sending me a new phone.

    Phone Orange back, tell em they f**ked up (keep quiet about the handset) and demand a better deal than you got from retentions and a new handset. If it works you win lots, if not you win a free phone

    ARB bush replacement

    my ph2 went in for a service (nigh on 80k) and im told it'll need new ARB bushes at some point soon-ish. They've quoted me £90odd for the job which doesn't sound unreasonable in the slightest - is it unreasonable for a dealer? how much do the bushes themselves cost? I'm also wondering whether...

    Do you drive your clio just the the sake of it?!

    not very often, I used to do it in the mx5 all the time but really don't feel the urge in the clio. It gets a weekly italian cos it's good for it but otherwise I just commute agressively

    Cliosport drivers

    If I'm being specific I describe mine as a clio with a big engine and a silly bodykit - which is what it is

    Clio 172 justified?

    insurance is the only unusual cost as far as i can see - if you can pay that then why not? fwiw I got 43mpg (worked out properly) average from my ph2 going from manchester to cambridge carrying 2 grown ups and 4 computers with monitors/keyboards etc in the boot - I spent most of the trip at a...

    Nokia - Commercial Suicide?

    unsurprised tbh, symbian's been a joke for a while now. win7 will do well in the corporate sector because Android is next to useless on a business phone and Iphones are even worse. You can't underestimate the importance of exchange integration/synching and built in office compatibility that...

    emissions, cats, rattles...

    okaay ph2 172, all standard with a fairly recently replaced genuine renault back bit on the exhaust... MOT time earlier in the week and my friendly MOT tester had to really, really try to get it through the emissions, it did eventually scrape through after he'd tried literally every trick in...

    how often do you "heel and toe"?

    i just do it automatically now, there's no disadvantage to it and plenty of advantages in terms of safety and staying in control of the car.

    Running costs of my 172 one year later

    They don't seem too bad to run compared to a lot of fast(ish)cars - or indeed normal modern(ish) cars- unless something major goes wrong. I'm lucky in that all the common big jobs were done on mine before I bought it so touch wood the biggest cost im likely to see for the next 3 years is tyres...

    its special cos its sitting on the rear chassis brace - there's no way on earth that thing would actually move at that height.

    Dead Space 2

    I played it with an xbox controller so I dont think I suffered any PC related issues, i just found it a weak game in pretty much every way. Its not the 3rd person thing - the Batman arkham game is awesome. I take from the replies that number 2 isn't going to be a game for me.

    Why am I so uninsurable?

    that basically. age seems to be the thing that makes the real difference. I insured an imported and modified mx5 fully comp for £360 with no NCB and 2 years with a license on the 172 im paying 480 with one year NCB, 3 years with a license why? cos im 31 (late starter) even if the no...

    Dead Space 2

    I turned the first one off after a couple of hours and never picked it up again because I thought it was complete s**t - totally mindless in terms of gameplay, appalling control/view setup, not scary and thoroughly underwhelming graphically. would I like the second one?

    I shall snout you out - im rubbish though so best used as a human shield. that hit reg stuff is par for the course with BC2 in my experience - i just keep reminding myself that we're still better of than we were with all the connection failures in 2142

    Is the RenaultSport Clio more efficient Fuel wise at higher revs?

    I win. Mine got down to 5.5 mpg over a tank during winter. The traffic was that bad my average speed over the tank was in single figures despite 80% of my commute being done at over 60. it'll see mid 20s normally on that run with an enthusiastic foot and will average over 40 on motorways at 70...

    Building Your Own PC?

    I used to be a devout self-builder but experience has taught me that unless you have very specific requirements you're better off buying a dell. In fact, most of the time you're better off buying a Dell anyway and then maybe upgrading a couple of odds n sods. It'll be cheaper, it'll have a...

    Insurance!! Extremely Expensive!!

    4k? Bugger that for a laugh. There's no way on earth I'd pay over a grand to insure a car that didnt get to 60 in under 5 seconds or cost me less than 10k to buy, let alone 4k on a 15 year old french shitbox. it didnt occur to you to check this before commencing the project then ?

    Re-installing window 7

    the laptop doesn't need much at all to function - you won't be able to take anything really important off through the remove programs area you'll be fine downloading a copy of windows as long as it's exactly the same version tbh though you're better off removing the crap manually - if you...
