    People who just can't drive!!

    You are in the wrong. Tailgaters are much worse than lane sitters in my book. What gives you the right to be in front of them? Do that to me and you'll soon find yourself doing 30 in the outside lane coz I take my foot off the gas when some asshole is trying to crawl up my tailpipes!

    Does the car lock itself when I walk away??

    The new shape Megane does it automatically, but the 197 doesn't. Dunno about the 200?

    Clio 200 Milltek Exhaust in development

    Subtle differences? Like they've sawn off the tips from a 197 exhaust perhaps? Piper did the right thing and just made the tips interchangeable. One size fits all!

    Kangarooing like mad

    Mine was worse in warmer weather. Definitely did it more in the summer months.

    For you pet lovers

    Not a cat lover either, but I'd have a Russian Blue if I was.

    KTR exhaust & remap!

    I used to hate the way the standard exhaust droned at around 3300-3500rpm and quite often drove in 5th gear instead of 6th just to get rid of it!

    Tea or Coffee!?

    I like both. Darjeeling is my favourite tea and I do like a nice strong latté, too.

    Don't do it often but I will definitely buy the new Hitman game when it's out.

    Nimbus 197 in thame!?!?

    8700, matey, so I doubt you'll get a lot off of that price. It was up for £10.5K originally.

    I was talking to Mike and suggesting one possible reason why his flat was dear and your house was cheap! ;-)

    After a quick 4 wheel drive motor..

    BTW, my only other options were the Alfa 159 3.2 and the Audi S4 4.2, as I wanted naturally aspirated and 4WD. They were discounted for being dull sounding and too expensive to fix respectively.

    After a quick 4 wheel drive motor..

    Mine's done 26K and there's barely a mark on the paint, but it could've had a complete respray for all I know! LOL As for getting blown away by lesser motors, I don't rise to racing with them, I drive a grown-up's car now! :clap:

    Nimbus 197 in thame!?!?

    http://www.brilliantmotorcompany.co.uk/ It's an R27 and had about 22K on it when I handed it over, but I guess it's being used by the dealer if it was in Thame.

    That'll be my old one. It's for sale at a dealer in Long Crendon as far as I know.

    After a quick 4 wheel drive motor..

    I've just gone from a 197 to an R32 and don't regret the move one bit. It might not be as involving as the Clio, but I like that after 2 years of ragging the tits off my car just to get a bit of go from it. Yeah, the 197 was brilliant fun, but it only does the fun bits, when you're doing the...

    strange noise at max revs

    There's a little valve on the airbox and it's this that makes the noise. Appears to open a second inlet to the airbox as far as I could tell when I looked at it.

    Get it all the way up and hold the up button for 10-15 secs. Cured it on mine.

    Sexiest looking car in the world EVER

    I like the way the crease on the flank swoops round the door handle on the Astra. Looks a million dollars compared to the 250 with its stuck on bodykit.
