    flood damage!

    ...just a maybe....but if the flood was so deep you had a bow wave over the bonnet, the slip road should have been closed to traffic....as you say, once on it you couldn't realy go against traffic to get back to the dual carriageway.....its worth trying to claim against the Highway...

    flood damage!

    ...I cringe when I see people plowing through floods, thinking that they are having some fun....even if it's only an inch deep I would generally go the otherway....or crawl through in the midlle of the road so as to stop the landrovers from forcing a bow wave into the engine bay...

    Vxr8

    ...there is a fella near me who runs one in Arden Blue...they look the biz with the duel Xenons and LED drls....sound nice too, but will date quickly I think....I doubt they will have any where near the fun factor of the Clio...more of a motorway cruiser...once you get over 70mph though you'll...

    New Clio 4

    ....when you compare a standard Clio 3 with a 197/200 it looks dull....this one looks a little dull but I am sure that the wider track, bigger wheels and slight flairing on the RS version will look great...and will grow on us like the 200 did eventually....I hope you get proper dials in the RS...

    Focus ST Cosworth

    ...something like this would be a good move. I had a look at an ST in a showroom last week and there is something 'not quite there' with the way the car looks....probably the five door thing....I will probably leave this out of my wish list for now but I await the new RS with a bit more...
