Hey guys, as some of you may know if you read the previous entry on the blog, I've just got back from a week in Crete. It was the first foreign holiday for me in over three years and an extremely welcome one at that! We stayed in the Phaedra Beach Hotel on the outskirts of Malia. First...

Spent a bit of time sat around in Piccadilly Gardens today, been a while since I've just sat and watched the world go by but it does wonders for the stress levels! I took the camera along not really intending to use it, but it eventually came out of the bag for a bit. I'm not gonna lie, I'd...

Right this is the first time I've ever spotted an RS Clio with a CS sticker in the window so you sure as hell had better be on here lol. Black 172 with aftermarket exhaust hanging below the bumper with two pipes. Looked to be lowered with either anthracite or black wheels I think. This photo...

Spotted the Trophy sat at the traffic lights outside Renault Manchester this afternoon, looked awesome. :approve: Sure I recognised the guy driving it, but can't for the life of me think who it was.. Then just as I was leaving Renault, around 5pm, a blue 172 went through the carpark...

Two of the official togs for the night: Chris's monster: Naith gets caught short: ^Jonff^: Bloooor: Bifcaids: TDK: Bloooor on the move: Strangers in the night: ^Jonff^: Bifcaids: TDK, with pilot: Bifcaids: TDK: Sorry if I missed a few people, lack of tripod was a...

Spotted a blue 172 Cup sat near 3rd Avenue in Trafford Park, 03 plate beginning with P. Seen it about before so probably no-one on here. Then I was along side a rather dirty (but then it is black so you're forgiven!) Pearl Black 172 going around one of the big roundabouts in Trafford Park, I...

My car has been off the road since September, during which time it's had some fairly major work replacing a failed headgasket. Everything is now back together and the car runs okish (think it needs an ECU reset), but for some reason the central locking is playing up. When I turn the key to the...

I say landscapes, but if we're honest it's just photos of trees! It's been foggy here in Manchester (surprise surprise), so I thought rather than sitting around on CS I'd pop down to wander around the local field.. In the dark, surrounded by fog, alone, with my camera gear. Fortunately the tale...

Heard a nice exhaust burble by my window as I was sat outside Spar at Woodsend Circle, waiting for my mum to get back, and noticed a never-before-seen-by-me Silver 172 pass by and park up. Guy driving looked to be maybe early twenties at a guess and went into Spar, so must be a local. Wearing...

Before anyone says anything I realise all the engines have different cooling setups, but I'm hoping someone will have a clue what I'm on about! I've just finished rebuilding everything after replacing the headgasket on my engine and as I'm filling up the coolant it's leaking out from the end of...

Was on my way into work this morning going over the Parkway (into Trafford Park by the Trafford Centre) and was overtaken by a RB 182 with the stripes. Looked to be in good condition, but my mum wasn't for catching up with it to get a better look, lol. Think it was an 05 plate? Anyone?

Stopped off at Anglesey this weekend for two nights and took the camera along for a bit of a run out. We went for a bit of a mooch on Saturday and ended up at Penmon and then later on at Red Wharf Bay. The weather was pisch, rained pretty much non-stop, but the scenery made up for it! Canon...

Saw a 172 Cup hooning it's way along the A55 today into Wales. Not the best weather for it, low visibility and plenty of surface water, but it looked good nonetheless! Don't think it was standard, seemed to be sitting quite low, although I was heading in the opposite direction so didn't see it...

Been scouring eBay for a replacement engine and I've come across this (My car is a 1999 1.6 8v Si): http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2000-Renault-Clio-Scenic-1-6-8v-Engine-with-warranty_W0QQitemZ220503740574QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item33570c109e Firstly, is there...

Over the past month or so, on and off, I've been building a website for my photographs. It's coming along fairly well and I'm nearly at the point where I suppose you could say 'stage 1' is complete. Stage 1 being a functioning website that serves its purpose, but has plenty of room for...

Hey, a few of you may have seen my other thread about my headgasket failing, but now I'm looking into the options for getting it back on the road.. complete novice in this area, so could do with some advice please! How easy is it to replace the headgasket myself? Where can I get the head...

More specifically my Clio. Flick to the photos if you want. Had a family meal this weekend in Blackpool, to celebrate a relatives 70th birthday. I set off with my brother from Manchester early Saturday afternoon and met up with my cousin near Bolton to convoy across. Pulled into a petrol...

Popped back down to the nature reserve to get some inspiration for the current round of the CS photography competition and also to practice getting things right in camera as much as possible. So.. a lot of bokeh, but I've mixed a few more in for good measure. C&C welcome! Being watched...

I'm looking to create a slideshow for the index page of my website which would basically be a 900px x 300px image that fades to another image after a set period of time - calling up the images from a folder on the server and looping back to the first image once it had gone through them all...

I've been building a new website and hosting it on a Relichost server while doing so. Two days ago I went to log on, but instead of seeing my website there was a cPanel 'holding' page. Today the website is back up, but it's an old version, like they've done some sort of system restore. So, does...

Keep seeing a blue 182 with tints on the rear windows parked up on the carpark on the corner of Frederick Rd and Lissadel St in Salford. It's next to where I'm working at the moment. Anyone on here?

Today I'm going to an Indian Restaurant in Horwich to take some shots for their website. Looking forward to it, but I'm also very nervous - it's dark inside and I wish I had a camera with better noise control! There's no pressure as such, as it's a favour for my a guy my dad works with and I...

On the way over to Frodsham from Manchester this morning around 10am ish and was overtaken by an Albi blue 197 with dark wheels, no spoiler and dark decals - looked pretty good! Then somewhere in Manchester around 12 noon I caught a glimpse of an Inferno 182 going round a sweeping righthander...

I'd been trying to get my mates to go to the zoo for aages, but no-one was for having it. But, after a quick round of phonecalls on Sunday night my mate decided it would be a good idea for me to drive everyone to Chester Zoo the next day, very thoughtful of him! So Monday morning and five of...

Parked up today and was surprised to see an Odyssey Blue ph1 RS pull up a few cars along. If you're on here you'll probably know who I am - kept looking back at your car as I was walking in, memorising the numberplate! Had a twin exhaust below the bumper and looked quite smart from what I saw...

A few photos from a quick meet up with some of the NW guys at Oulton Park today. I love going there if nothing else just for Coach Road - best road ever! Think I've got the hang of this :): #1 - Strangely endearing chav chariot: #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 - Marshall harasser...

A small selection from the 500 or so photos I took this weekend (of which 450+ will be going straight in the bin!). #1 - ??. #2 - Solitary Red Arrow. #3 - The 'big attraction' Vulcan. #4 - Vulcan again. 200mm (320mm at 1.6x) definitely isn't long enough for the type of shots I was after...

..Who doesn't jump when you tell them to! :) I went camping in Rhosneigr (On Anglesey) with a few of my mates from back in high school, managed to get a few photos. Was a good laugh. :) Might add a second set later. Ian

Sat next to this car at the traffic lights at the cross-roads of Moorside Road and Crofts Bank Road. You turned right towards the train station / town centre and I went straight across. If you're wondering why I was looking so confused it's becaue I was weighing up the probability of you being...

Well I think it was a Cup anyway, there are too many shades of Blue lol. I also have no idea where I saw you, other than it was somewhere between the Dream sculpture at Sutton Manor/Clock Face kinda way and getting back to the M62.. really wasn't paying attention to where I was! Waved as you...
