    Anyone owned a VX220?

    After my Clio 200 i bought a VX220 Turbo. Had it for 4.5 years. Great performance but I always had a second car to use for the more practical stuff. Then I had an Elise S and now I have another VX220 NA. on the twist stuff they are great, especially with the roof off and the forum is great...

    Winter tyres

    Stuck with the std size. They were really great in the snow. I turned up an untreated road last year where the snow was just touching the underside of the car. A Navara turned into the road just after me. Not wanting to hold him up I just put the foot down and drove away from him as he slid his...

    Winter tyres

    I had Kumho KW23 winter tyres when I had my 200. Worked brilliantly in the cold temperatures and in the snow. Had them fitted from October through to March last year.

    i'm sure i will at some point. Amazed it was so dry today after last nights rain. Still quite wet at the hairpin exit which made for interesting moments for the rear wheel drive cars!

    Winter Tyres - Advice Please

    I've got Kumho Kw23 winter tyres 215/45 17. Will be going back on soon. You do notice them moving about a bit more under braking as the tread moves but were great last year with all the snow and cold temperatures.

    Holograms

    I'm no expert but dont move the polisher too quickly and make sure the polish breaks down properly. ie work it in to the paint. I've never had problems with holograms but I do take my time.

    Petrol consumption - Motorway use?

    I've had 36 mpg on cruise control at 75. But that was on the M6. Went down quite a bit once onto the M74 due to all the hills.

    Do your brakes squeal?

    Mine also squeek when turning right at lowish speed <25mph. Not too bothered about it, I just turn the stereo up a notch.

    Calling all Cyclists - Roof mounted bike rack?

    I had 591's and if someone wants to take your bike off the rack then those locks wont stop them. Just be careful when you park up. Im paranoid as to replace my mtb would be £3000 and my road bike £4000. Thats why they live in a bag in my car when I'm transporting them nowadays.

    Calling all Cyclists - Roof mounted bike rack?

    I just use a bike bag and put the lot in the back of the car. Had roof racks on 2 previous cars but the marked the roof slightly, bugger your fuel economy, bugged me with the wind noise and the bikes can easily be stolen if the car is left unattended as has happened at Glentress recently. But...

    type r vs clio 200

    You need to go and drive the Clio on the type of roads that you tried the Civic on. My mate had a shot in my 200 with cup chassis just when I bought it. Now we went down a brilliant road but I didn't want to rag the car with 50 miles on the clock. It obviously made an impression as he went and...

    Winter tyres

    I've got a set waiting to go on once the temps drop down to the 7 degree mark. Last winter i got up a road that a Nevara was struggling up. Mine are the same size as the std tyres, next time I'll try and get some narrower ones.
