I was stopped by the Police today, shortly after leaving work. I was not speeding, using my phone or driving erractically. My car is insured, MOT'ed and I have just put four new tyres on it. I own it, it is taxed and I had not been drinking. So why was I stopped? Because the Policeman in...

is Jenson Button undeserving of the World Championship? To me a world champion is always up there, gunning for podium places. Yes during the first few races he had a better aero package and trounced the competition, but in terms of out right talent Hamilton and Alonso have Button licked! Your...

My Sachs have now been rebuilt at a cost of £583.20 (inc VAT) by BG Motorsport. A brilliant service, very quick turnaround and smiles all round. However, I am a little frustrated with Renault. Clearly, when deciding how to see off the 182 they saw 1000 or so Sachs suspension units and...

A perfectly competitive market is one where there are many buyers and sellers. Information between buyers and seller is distributed symmetrically and products are homogenous. Barriers to entry and exit do not exist and the consumer is king. A perfectly competitive market is a politician’s...

Dear All, After getting back from South Wales today, I would like to ask: what is the best technique for carrying speed into and out of a corner in a Trophy? I know all corners are different: different gears required, different braking points, different throttle pressure etc, but is there a...

There is an inherent problem with trying to prevent people downloading music and films they haven't paid for if producers won't let you purchase because of territorial reasons. As far as I am aware the Internet is a global network of networks that has no barriers - it's pervasive and...

My car, as you may know, is being repaired. The air bag computer is currently being reprogrammed by Renault. However, the dealer cannot complete the reset because their computer thingy is asking for a side airbag code. But the car does not have side airbags!!! The dealer doesn't know the...

Dear All, Travelling down the A40 towards Monmouth today a pipe was in the left hand lane which I couldn't avoid due to traffic on my right. I thought to myself, "that doesn't look too big, I'll drive straight over it." Oh how I was wrong. The pipe scored the underneath of my car (i don't...

As above. Anybody else read the article?

As above. I have had the sensor replaced and it is back to intermittently dropping - especially on the motorway. I am thinking it's an electrical fault (wiring or connection perhaps). But then again my electrical and mechanical knowledge are limited, very limited.

Just a few of my favourite pictures:

I wonder: a person gets drunk, drives their car and has a crash. Was the crash caused by drink driving?

1) I have calculated that, when taking the car for an MOT, the probability the brakes fail is 1/10, the headlights fail is 1/4 and the wipers fail is 1/5. But what's the probability only one of the parts fails? 2) Point P lies on the curve y = x2 - 6x - 16 where m = 0. What are the...

Spotted today on the Hagley Rd, Birmingham. Are you here?

My mate bought an Elise 111R yesterday so it was only sensible to go to Mid Wales and take some pictures:

http://news.uk.msn.com/uk/article.aspx? ... d=14887192 The reason accidents occur on these roads you communistical fools is that a) the road surface is usually crap, b) visibility around corners = 0, c) caravaners force drivers to take unnecessary risks because they simply won't get out of the...

17 of us from the RenaultSport forum are going to North Wales on the 8th March. Myself (Trophy #465 and Trophy #83) will be going along with an assortment of RS models. Here's a link if you're interested: http://www.renaultsport.co.uk/community ... hichpage=1

Does anybody know if there are any trophies for sale trade? I have been seeing some silly low prices these days and I am now very interested. I currently own an Arctic Blue 182 with Recaros, cup packs and all the trimmings. Cheers for the help.

I don't know how many of you use the RenaultSport forum, but is anybody experiencing problems with it this evening? I am. It just won't load up properly.

As above really.
