Car is looking really cool still dude :) Although that left / passenger side rear tyre looks rather worse for wear heh! Dan

Seconded here, seeing someone try and talk down to Matt about drag racing and more to the point, FWD drag racing is pretty funny. Before trying to be all big, patronising and condesending it pays really to have a quick search so you have a clue who you're trying to mock... Dan

That yellow R27 is so beautiful :) I miss it :( Dan

I wasn't aware it had off roader spec suspension... Maybe it's an option, as opposed to the only option... It looks awful compared to the 350, especially those wheels which are just foul. Dan

Awww she looks awesome dude :) It's nice to know it's still getting looked after. If by 'treated the paint' you meant whatever that little sticker in the top corner of the passenger side of the windscreen - that wasn't me, that was done when it was bought brand new. Nice to to see my 'Ring...

Here's my thoughts purely on the costs between the two... My Vee when driven on short journeys when it was cold, especially, in winter, was sub 20mpg... In normal conditions though, driven with any tiny enthusiasm, 22-23mpg. On a long run I once saw 32mpg staying at a very gentle cruise -...

Yup totally understand :) I remember the unstoppable Vee urge as well hehe ;) Dan

I did three laps of the ring with me and two mates in, and a lap with just me alone :) So there is my proudly displayed sticker hehe :D

F40 or F50 for me :) Dan

That messes with my brain, it's a Jeep, yet, it just wasted an M5... It was pretty awesome :D Dan

I'm amazed you even considered the Soarer. Just no on every level for me... The Corrola, maybe, just a shame it's not the other body style for proper Initial-D pimping hehe :) I must admit, I always fancied owning one at some point, but the one in my dreams is the one shaped like this -...

That looks really sweet :) Welcome chief.

Holy s**t my dreams sound like that...

I only just clicked the links, apologies. The Neverbeen one is a nice subtle little laugh that any petrolhead would raise a smile at I bet, on the road I mean :) I'm not sure about the other one with the RS logo through it, I prefer the proper ones that say Nurburgring, like the ones you can...

I had a Nurburgring sticker on my R27, I bought it at the ring. Buying a ring sticker from Ebay just to make passers by think you might have been, is just sad IMO. Mind you, my car went to it's new owner yesterday, and it has a ring sticker on. And thinking about it, I want him to leave it...

I went from Vee to 197, well, R27 but close enough heh, and the R27 was so, so much better to drive than the Vee, and just as fast in a straight line (actually my 'time to the bridge' was a bit quicker than the Vee, I assume cos I carried so much more speed off the roundabout onto the...

Awesome photo dude :) Enjoying the 197 then? My beautiful LY R27 went to its new home today :( The dude is a member here, so hopefully he'll post some pics and stuff.

4 previous owners eh? Each one must've part-ex'd a different part for the lower spec bit heh. I hope the salesman that took it in has had it explained to him what a tool he is :) I mean, the missing 16s and the missing seats are going to make that unsellable. Anyone looking to buy a 182...

The exhaust isn't to my tastes, but that's just me! I'm not normally a fan of the euro-look on Clios, but that looks really cool, the wheels work realy well with the look. Your pics are awesome though, really clear, and a great location with some really well chosen shots. Dan

Click the 4th Auotrader link just up a bit mate, white 197 Cup and the guy proudly states "I Paid Very Nearly £18000 Only Six Months Ago. Only Used As A Second Car" I know he's probably lying, but, why make yourself look that stupid? I was offered a new Cup, with Nimbus paint (£360) Aircon...

...what? You can get a white normal 197 as well. Just for some background here, this is taken from Evo, from before the Cup came out, when reviewing the R27 and details the Cup Chassis - So, it's not JUST dark grey wheels and shiny calipers :) Dan

R27 has all the options of a 197FF. Plus - Firstly, Cup chassis which is suspension/chassis changes, anthracite wheels, red Brembos. Then it also has factory tinted rear windows, Recaro front seats, the F1 stickers, the plaque, MP3 headunit over the normal one and the option of Liquid Yellow...

I think I'd definately have been coming back to Vee ownership, with a Mk2 this time, in time for next summer :) Should that be referred to as an upgrade ;)? I saw somewhere an advert, which I've just been hunting for, for a 2004 black Mk2 Vee, on about 30k iirc, and it had just had the...

£10k?!?! It's the worst GTE model by far, in that you'll get wet and the handling is even worse. Mind you, assuming it's on the original tyres, I'd love to take it out - just to see how bad it is hehe :D Put some wide, sticky, modern rubber on it, and it'd probably snap in half on the first...

If he can get £13k for it I'd be surprised at the moment tbh. It doesn't mention a service history at all - possibly has never had anything, the oil would need scraping off the dipstick by now! I wouldn't trust the tyres either, they'll be all cracked up. Isn't the recommendation that you...

That 'GT500' style is a bit modest... Jesus. How tall is the spoiler?!?! I know it must be functional but it would look so much better lower. There's a local 500+bhp S14, and it has a Uras Drag spoiler - looks just right for the car I think as it isn't massively styled. Dan

That last pic looks cool :) Must be a real trial to avoid smacking the bumper, and knowing where you can/can't go though hehe! I had enough trouble with the vee...

Looks a little 'Capsicum Red' in a couple of those photos hehe :) Lookin very tidy dude. Dan

Jesus all that interior computing / monitoring stuff is awesome. Seems so wasted on an old MR2 Turbo IMO, especially seen as it has Halfords wheels and Lexus rear lights... Dan

^^^ I can vouch for Floridadaz's cables, I had one myself, but when I managed to get a Tunepoint virtually new for £60 I couldn't say no :) But Daz's cables do work perfectly, they just don't have the functionality of the Tunepoint. The Tunepoint allows you to plug in a USB...
