    TOP GEAR

    Absolutely loved the CLK.. though I'm a little biased as I moved from my A4 to a V8 CLK, sorted the suspension and a race exhaust and just love it, and it sounds simply glorious.. so I confess the merc appealed loads! Thought the line about all audi's being driven by ***** was a little...

    my birthday present & new toy

    Congratulations, you'll love it - I had the Animal one on a 52 plate for a couple of years as a company motor - fantastic vehicle! Miss the sheer practicality and road presence, the power upgrade makes a huge difference. I added a proper 'bedrug', fully jetwashable carpet liner and a full...

    this mornings race...

    If the rest of the season is as entertaining as the first race, it will be the best in years.. Don't want it to be a complete LH walkover though, want to see some actual racing. Think the loss of traction control alone is clearly going to make it a vastly better season! (witness both ferraris...

    A4 and Audi = crap

    some interesting points made here, and I take issue with the concept of audi=crap, and also with some of the BM/Merc points.. My last three motors: B6 A4 tdi sport (Mods: AMD remap only) covered 59K miles from new BMW 330d sport (Mods: Black diamond discs and pads, Eibach springs, other minor...

    David Coulthard this morning..

    For those who didnt see the live race and as there is little chance they will transmit his comments later.. DC was in post-crash interview with Louise Goodman, discussing Felipe Massa.. he talked about 'beating three kinds of **** out of the little *******'! DC --> :asskicking: <-- Massa...

    Awesome sound!!!

    I have an awkward stance to take on this. I have to confess my daily drive is no longer an audi, its an alternative German motor.. (but the sort that does have indicators fitted). It has a 4.3 V8, producing around 300HP now and bags of torque - a number of mods later and I had it handling and...

    Will we find anyone form here on this site??

    its neighbourhood watch, curtain 'twitchers', school prefects, geeks who tried and failed to be traffic cops but still covet the uniform, nature's traffic wardens, the slimy kid at college who kept a notebook recording who he had bought drinks for and who still owed some to him, the guys who...

    Best forum ownage ever..!

    Hope this isnt a repost for y'all: (If so, apologies!) It seems there's this Honda NSX driver, initially trying to spam a few NSX forums to drum up business for his online gambling sites.. tries it at the NSX Prime forum, and they wont have any of it.. he tries denying it when challenged...

    Speeding Limits in France

    I like the way the variable speed limits work on their motorways, where the limit rises if its dry and drops if its raining, seems fair. caution though: same as belgium, if you get a cop in a bad mood he will check everything, and the easy things that we brits fail on are: have you got a SPARE...

    Wonderful roads and views - dialup beware!

    ok - its southern California! In the final photo, the water that you can see above the hills, is the water of the San Francisco bay, and the city area in the pic above that is Milpitas / San Jose The stunning 'lake' in the mountainy area (i have loads of pics of that) is the Calaveras...
