  1. Not always a good idea. You **** all over them and then they feel they have to overtake no matter what, in a BMW driver kind of way. Some nutter in a black 225 did this to me near Stourport during one of the last outings in the RS.
  2. That light was on for about half the time we had the vRS. First 4 occasions were due to coilpack meltdown, so fair enough. (You haven't got that for sure). Then came on for a temperature sensor or something, then on and off for about a year for no apprant reason. Irritating :thumbdwn: Bit of black insulation tape does the trick
  3. That sounds very cheap including those extras as well Since the demise of the vRS I've been thinking about new cars, current favorite is a civic type-r but for that price a new Octy could be in the frame. Welcome to the board, I'm not a big poster but the board is probbably the best I know.
  4. Anyone have a favourite polish to use on exterior black trim, like on the bumpers,doors below the windscreen etc. I've been using various "back-to-black" type aerosol sprays by the likes of carplan and simoniz for a long time. However I tried some Autoglym "Vinyl & Rubber care" on the exterior of my micra and the results seem pretty good. I know for sure this stuff works well on interior plastic and also things like the vRS engine cover. Also seen as this is a liquid type spray you don't feel like your poisoning yourself with aerosol fumes so much. Anyone else used this?
  5. I could be leading the Octy camp here, 23 in November. Its not mine but you asked for drivers not owners
  6. Yes he had dark, shortish hair and was late twenties/early thirties I'd say, can't say anymore since I was looking where I was driving. He overtook just before the entrance to the garden centre, just before the railway bridge as you come towards the Ferrari dealer on the Chester road. You can see how far this is from the 50 limit sign
  7. I've used Autoglym super resin & extra gloss for a few years now. Happy with the results but never over do it with the super resin as I was told that its abrasive too. The extra gloss can be used often and does give as very smooth to touch finish and resonable shine, however I'm on the look out for something better and those mentioned above look worth a try.
  8. Driven by a muppet in the Sutton/Aldridge area. Anyone else local had any experience. Driving along the Chester road yesterday afternoon. He seems to have a problem with me doing 30 in the 30 limit through the speed cameras. So I back him up some more and then open it up to 50 once the 50 limit starts Eventually he caught up and felt the need to overtake in the face of oncoming traffic. Had a red i only, does this show the level of tune or something? didn't seem to have all that much poke :confused:
  9. Looking forward to todays stage, hopefully see some action I was impressed by the ride of the guy in yellow yesterday.
  10. The only thing I have against Armstrong is he rides two races a year, the Dauphine and the Tour. Thus I can't see him as one of the greats of the sport, not in the same league as the other 5 time winners. At least Big Mig rode the Giro, taking the double twice and other races such as Paris-Nice, Tour of Switzerland and the Worlds. I still have some faith in Ullrich but I fear Armstrong just walking over the lot of then in the first serious mountains.
  11. When will production of the "old" vRS stop? I'm half thinking about an Ibiza FR, but with the octy at this price I'd look a bit of a prat. Personally I don't think there will be another Octavia vRS, or if there is it will be a diesel. I'll leave you to decide which would be the worse situation
  12. Been watching on ITV2 since the start. Only spotted the comissaires Superbs so far, except last night what looked to be a couple of old shape Octy press cars. And yes hopefully Armstrong won't win. 5 is enough, give someone else a go
  13. Thats a load of tripe really isn't it? A new car is a BIG investement for some people who may have worked their backside off for a long time to be able to afford it. Wanting to keep it in top condition is not an unresonable request in my opinion.
  14. I can see exactly where your coming from. I get stick for always driving around and finding a corner space at the back of the car park, where at least they can only get to one side of the car. Have to be carefully about taking up 2 spaces, might get clamped/ticketed. Some little Hitler put a notice on my car advising me that I'd parked in two spaces in a Halfords car park once. Wouldn't mind so much but the outside wheel was only just on the line! Saw someone drive into a car once, never even bothered to get out and look. Got him on camera and left a note on the guys window (car park at uni, he always parked in the same space) didn't contact me though.
