Just seen a Scouser wedge his Ferrrari on a bollard and tried to convince him to plant it and Rip his back bumper off as he is not going to fill and paint the damage is he. He wouldn't do that so tried to help him...
Had the car for a month now and absolutely love it, by far the quickest car I've owned its super smooth and on average its getting 5MPG more than my 120D.

Manual
Mapped 270BHP
Turbo and injectors done
Swirl flaps removed
Nav, Ipod, TV, Bluetooth
Just got the 120 back from Finer detailing in Chadderton. I love the car and its made my mind up that I will stick to BMW's from now on but when it was under the light the swirl marks were socking. Found Iain at Finer detailing and took it down to him, he gave it a two stage polish and waxed it...
Done a search but can't find anyone with the exact same fault as me. On full lock the there is a squeak coming from under the bonnet, seems to be louder when the car is revved. Had the aux belt changed on its own because the cam belt had been done. Power steering pump is also loud. Fluids are...
Was sat at the lights last night on a flat road and the back end started making creaking whining sounds underneath. It sounded like when you are on a hill and the handbrake isn't applied all the way. When i applied the handbrake the sound stopped, took it back off again it started. The car was...
When I bought my Clio in December I looked through the invoices and it had a cambelt change at somewhere called Abacus pretty recently.The bill was really well presented and I googled the garage and they seem alright http://www.abacusautoservices.com/ so I was happy with that. However I knew the...
Don't know much about these but going to the gym this morning there was a banzai photoshoot with an old civic. It sounded immense, the owner said he had put an integra type r engine in it. All the modifications have only just been done as he has had the car in dry storage for 10 years. He said...
What do you do when you see kids playing football near your car? I saw some the other day and was fuming but my girlfriend and her mum made me feel like a grumpy old man. Was p***** off when i saw this the next day.

anyway it gave me a kick up the arse to clean it
Defo not a "detail" but gave my flamer a good clean today. It really needs that clay bar thing doing to it so anyone who in Manchester area who can give me a quote please pm me.
Anyway snow foamed twice, then washed twice with gold class and then used this detailing stuff that was in the shed.
When I do town driving in the clio im getting between 26 and 28 mpgs according to the computer. The car haqs just had a full service and is running sweet so i thought i should be getting a return in the mid 30s :S any ideas?
Digital camera died when I went to take a picture so got some dodgy iPhone pictures.
Really chuffed with the alpine head unit, ran the iPod lead into the glove box and bought an old 80gb iPod off eBay.
Had my flamer for a month now and started to think about loweing it. I don't need £500 coilovers to drive to tesco and uni so just want some good lowering springs probably these http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=2469&appid=2 is there anything better value than them elsewhere?
I...
I was just cleaning my car. I snow foamed it then was shampooing it. When I was rinsing the car i noticed all the snow foam on the drive way was freezing but the temp was +4. Anyway It took me over an hour to rinse it because it really hangs around. It was like the drive and pavement was covered...
I'm after some snow foam and a lance, my karcher has a lance for the the stuff that came with it. Is that any good for Snow foam? If not is this a good deal I know the lance is good but what about that foam...
Picked it up the other day, it's on 58k with good service history. Up to now I'm loving it. Had a saxo before this so the Clio feels like a rolls in comparison. Going to refurbish the wheels in the new year and get a new stereo. Not sure about lowering it because my saxo was and it made the ride...
I put a deposit down on a 172 the other week and was meant to pick it up from the dealer today but this morning he rang me saying the traction control light came on when it was being test drove. He then rang back later and said that the whole traction control unit was knackered and they were...
Anybody from Manchester seen them, they are usually parked on main roads and have a small camera coming out of the roof. Whats the score with them i thought they were speed cameras but i've just read about some down south being used for minor driving offences like eating etc They use one all the...
Can you get an aftermarket head unit wired up to the audio stalk controls, any reccomendations on head units? it must have full ipod connection not just aux socket
