  1. I confess to trying the cassette player once, but the quality is so poor compared to CDs I haven't bothered since.
  2. I know what you are saying, but as written it is incorrect. The 245 is the width of the tyre and has no impact on rolling radius and hence speedo readings. The key figure is the profile of the tyre. If the profile of the tyre is 45, that means that the sidewall is 45% of the width from which and knowing the size of the wheel (17", 18") you can calculate the rolling radius You are absolutely correct and have explained it much better than my attempt
  3. All the the very best to you and Mrs Sarnie. Does she really know what she's letting herself in for?
  4. Since the Rays are 18s and you currently are running 17s, if you increase the rear tyre size to 245 it will affect the gearing and speedo readings.
  5. You can leave the adapter in place no problem. Owners handbook has all the instructions for creating a phonebook, giving voice commands, etc.
  6. My milkman put his prices up to 55p a pint from today - still cheaper than petrol though and tastes better too
  7. There's no reason I know of why it won't fit. IIRC, however, all models have ally bonnets.
  8. Agreed. I had a Clio 172 a few years ago and it used to average 36 mpg and even did 29 mpg on a track day at Castle Coombe.
  9. That's not my experience of them. I accept they're a big old bus and not exactly agile through the tight and twisties, but I found them to be very well planted through fast sweepers and overall very stable.
  10. There really are some dumb asses around
  11. Hasn't Martinmac got one for sale
  12. I'll wave if I see you Nixy and I wear a suit - well to work anyway
  13. It's mainly the door cards and the centre console so I guess they could be changed. Don't forget though that apart from the interior and the engine, the 06MY had revised headlights, LED rear lights, Bluetooth compatibility and a different front bumper and grille.
  14. Heavy old bird a pheasant! My mate hit one in his Vantage and the repair came to over £1500.
  15. I reckon that potential Zed owners should be vetted for personality and if found to be devoid of one, shouldn't be permitted to own one
  16. Your wife decides to go out with her friends drinking and dancing.... You're okay with it, because you get to watch sports and play on the Internet all night... You hear her stumble into bed around 4 and laugh knowing she's going to have a monster hangover.... You wake up next morning and go outside to the family Volvo, which she used last night.... You sigh in relief because it's all in one piece.... You circle the car looking for dents and find none.... But.... Wait a minute...................
  17. A mate of mine had one of these and apart from the fuel consumption (17 mpg average) is was an extremely quick and good handling car. And as for the sound from that V8
