    Renault sport 200 Cup

    I think a 200 cup would thrash even a mapped S3 on a back road. Handling, braking etc is far superior. Autocar did a test with Focus RS and the clio 200 is sat on its tail.

    Hit a fence in the snow!

    I would have left it and not owned up! Its only a council fence after all, does he even have to pay for it?

    Petrol in diesel car!

    I've NEVER done it to any car i've owned or driven, so i'm not sure what goes through peoples heads at petrol pumps. Do they not check what they're filling it with? I've been confused at which side the filler is on a few times though

    £40k for a golf ?

    Nutter driving M5 in traffic (VIDEO)

    As above, a completely different driving style to over here. We'd all be watching what each car we overtook was about to do rather than concentrate on the gaps you can squeeze through. Its quite good driving in a fashion, just dangerous. The difference is, UK drivers are morons that never look...

    incident support vehicles

    Incident support are just a clear up team after accidents etc. Highways agency are, i agree, abit traffic cop wannabe's but their role is to take those mundane jobs away from the real traffic cops, who can spend their time dealing with real crime (or sitting on perfectly clear dual carriageways...

    £40k for a golf ?

    I'm inclined to agree with Ess Three here. Though it looks good on paper, unless they do some serious work with suspension setup and weight loss, its going to end up being a Volkswagen S3. Fast and safe but at the expense of driver involvment. I don't mind admitting, i can't afford one...

    what are the "rules" with private number plates

    Yes you'll need to send the V5 back to DVLA along with the relevant form for putting the plate on retention (costs about £80 for a year). Can download forms from DVLA gov website. Or you can simply take it in to your local DVLA office if you have one. There is one in Nottingham which isn't too...

    Went to a Fiat Coupe meet today.

    Not my cup of tea! over 300bhp through the front wheels on an old chassis like that can't be much fun, especially in the wet! My standard Type R with 200bhp was a handfull if it was damp! The engines are pretty good though, great power and sound.
