    up at 3am and went for a drive....

    Congrats. Parenthood is the biz. When the booba gets a bit older, they will love being a passenger in your car. Mine do :-)

    Samsung Galaxy S4

    Most apps don't use the power of the S3 so waiting for the S4 seems a bit pointless. I have an iphone 5 (yep, b1tch to Apple and proud) but am happy to say the S3 is an awesome phone. Thing is that it should be the OS that determines your choice rather than the hardware. Choose the OS...

    Is there a doctor in the house....

    That's the way I see it. Won't be selling for a few years yet.

    Why do the R.S cars loose money so quickly: your thoughts

    This. They are now at a price point where the people buying them will want to mod them and the 197/200 is very expensive to mod. We know how good they are and a standard 197 will outhandle most other modded cars but, they don't make the claimed power, aren't particually fast in a straight...

    Is there a doctor in the house....

    ....coz I am haemorraging money :zomg: Last year's service was a big one with the cam belt & waterpump etc and this year I have just replaced all my disks and pads and the tie-rod ends (and some other bits) so over a 13 month period my car has cost a fortune. Saying that, this was all...

    Interesting times ahead.....

    I said this before, the cost of tuning a NA engine will put off all the traffic light drag strip kings. The things that makes a 197/200 so special will save them from the chavs.........I hope.

    New 200 turbo driven.

    I'm sure the car will be very capeable but it looks huge and I also think that the driver will feel more detached from the driving. If I want to drive up the motorway or pottle around town then my 197 can be a pain but when the mood takes me, I can have more fun in it than most other hot...

    Bye Bye MK III RS

    In the current financial climate, I can see myself driving my 197 in 10 years time. As I don't really need my car for work (London Underground........) it is fun miles all the way, and as long as it is well maintained should last a good few years yet. I also think that at 44 with growing kids...

    To 5 or not to 5

    I pick up my 5 tomorrow having had an iphone 4 for 2 years. A big point not yet mentioned is 4G. Orange will release their tarrifs at the end of the month and you will need a new sim that supports 4G. Orange have confirmed I can change to a 4G contract for no charge when it is released which is...

    Please recomend me a game

    Played Bioshock 2 (I watched the strory for Bioshock on Youtube beforehand) and that was a great game. Looking forward to Bioshock Infinity next year. Think I will continue with Crysis 2 until Dishonoroed is released. Bethesda release some of the best games in my opinion. Already completed...

    Please recomend me a game

    Done Skyrim :-), Didn't really like the Mass Effect as I prefer 1st person to 3rd person. I was going to play Risen 2 (Risen was great) but the reviews have been poor. Just watched the trailer for Dishonored and this looks very nice. I'm not a fan of shoot everything that moves.

    Please recomend me a game

    Deus Ex Human Revolution is the best game I have played in many years. Playing Crysis 2 now and although visually nice, it's boring in comparison. Without hijacking the thread, what is the best game to get now that is like Deus Ex?

    Clio 200 vs corsa vxr burg vs golf gti mk5!

    Having driven a Burg round Rockingham recently, I'm not surprised. I drove a standard VXR then jumped straight into a Burg and they are a world apart. Still need to be 20st plus before the seats grip you properly. That is my only issue.

    The limiter

    That's why the numbers on the rev counter in a 197 get bigger as you rev higher!!! Warp factor...... BTW, I have hit the limiter plenty of times. No probs, just have to change gear.
