    If you could only ever own one car...

    Surely some confusion with MX5 or small engined TT here :)

    Is My Avatar Disturbing?

    At least it's not the weird animated zooming one where he emerges out of his crotch over and over.

    Full House

    Leaves him on 182 posts. While I'm whoring for posts, have a sneak preview of the forthcoming Christmas bestseller coming to WH Smith soon:

    Engine flush

    She's in for service at the weekend, and no doubt they'll pitch an engine flush. Has anyone had a power flush on 12K? Is there really any point?

    which oil?

    I used Excellium, but proper rated fully synth is the way forward.

    If you could only ever own one car...

    Just one, RS4 Avant. Can fit all your junk in it and it still goes like the proverbial. Must admit, it'd take a lot to persuade me to part with my Trophy though.

    197 not too clever up a steep hill

    Want to drive, but have been drinking :(

    Might have to sell the Trophy

    B*gger. Hope it all goes well if you go for the move dude, could amusingly price up shipping one of the beasts...

    197 not too clever up a steep hill

    Oh yes, I didn't even consider it. I know what the backlash would have been like :D

    197 not too clever up a steep hill

    Surely was. It's not slow mind, we both pulled away from a chavved Saxo quite handily :twisted:

    197 not too clever up a steep hill

    I know it's a bit unfair because it would still be a little tight, but I can confirm that a Trophy is appreciably quicker up a slightly twisty hill than a 197 :) Blue one tried to keep up and failed earlier today here: http://www.multimap.com/map/browse.cgi? ... imap.y=186

    I want an Audi R8

    RS4 for me. Mebbe even the Avant to have the fastest production estate car known to man :)

    Got a quote for a 12,000 mile service...

    Tempter, I'll be in touch when I'm back from hols (provided you have an official stamp) Cheers

    Got a quote for a 12,000 mile service...

    So can anyone recommend a Cheap but reliable place in South Yorkshire? I just want to get a Renault stamp and get the job done properly without any dealership nonsence.

    Coming up soon for me, have to think about servicing...

    See anything nice?

    LOL Did you pay cash money to go in the Atomium?

    Speed cam's

    We have a couple of cameras that are regularly burnt out or filled with expandible builders foam. Not me, but I'm not complaining :wink:

    how much to fill the tank?

    That's with Johnnies 97 RON.

    Folding the passenger seat forward

    Both should tilt/slide, but there's a knack to it. In c. 10000 miles, there's only been one person in the back anyway, so I'm prolly not the ultimate authority on this...

    Must Read! - 197 Being 'Significantly Better' than 182

    Shocked there were no norks with the review. Well, you know my views. Don't know where the chrome remarks come from...

    172 Cup or 182 Cup?

    182 Cup. Come November, the ABS and ESP start to make life a bit more comfortable. At lest if you live out in the boonies like I do! Inferno is such agood colour. If he can find a 182 with Recaros, go for that.
  22. Portland

    ESP on or off - how do you do it!

    I usually leave it on, but might have to pop is off while it's dry.

    how much to fill the tank?

    I've been scary low on petrol before now, bust £40 easily even with petrol cheap.

    New MK3 Rsport

    Well, I’ve driven the 197 and I don’t get any kickbacks from car manufacturers, nor threats of not placing any advertising with my publication/TV channel, so here are my thoughts: It seems Renault have tried to make the car more “grown up†The boot is significantly...

    What Category Did You Put The Trophy Under?

    I'm with direct line, and my policy says: Renault Clio 2.0l TROPHY 182. I'm looking at my cert' right now (Got to take a copy in post merger to prove my business use to claim odd bit of mileage) I would make very sure you select the right car, as it is a different group and you could...

    Very quick Clio!

    I'd like a magic resistor to double my car's bhp please. "Sure, that'll be £15.00 plus postage" Aces. Most amusing watching the scooby driver getting bummed.

    Howdy howdy partners

    Damn, he's found us. :wink: When are you picking up the 197 for the set then?
