Pics look great [MENTION=52200]montana[/MENTION] ! I'll be heading up to Leeds tomorrow, Sunday can't come quick enough! Hope the weather holds up. 30 mpg is certainly surprising! I might be able to make the whole trip on 1 tank of fuel!

I recommend the route jimmyd81 mentioned in this thread http://www.clio197.net/forum/showthread.php?49816-Buttertubs-2-8-15

I did the whole traingle, went back to Hawes and then did the buttertubs run (one side of the triangle) at the T-junction turned around and did it again from the bottom back to Hawes. Love the roads around there, the road heading to Kirby Stephen can get a little tight at times though so be aware.
 
Car looks great! Where did you get your mats from ? I've seen a few different ones but yours look better..
 
Replaced my rear dampers last night for some KYB items , they did the trick, the little Clio is now much less 'choppy' on bumpy roads which is pleasing (that's shocks replaced all round now). No issues with removal, very simple process, the old dampers were pretty tired.

Had a new set of front tyres fitted today (Nexen N8000 - not a premium tyre, but with respectable reviews and excellent value for money they are worth a try http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/Nexen/N8000.htm) tyre fitter also rated them so time will tell. I then rotated to the rear to get some use out of the rears (old rears now on front).

Not much else is on the horizon other than a Oil service next month and Aux belt / tensioner replacement ready for the colder months.

Got myself a nice little digital tyre gauge to monitor tyre pressures, saves me 50p each time.

great stuff Pete..after todays Moors run i have come to the conclusion that my suspension needs an upgrade too..very bouncy on some roads..
