Ok, so I ended up buying a fourth car! Some would say overkill, I would call it bangernomics. Basically my little girl lives 130 miles away so I do a round trip to pick her up every other weekend. Well as you can imagine a 133 isn't really ideal for the trip and as comfy as my CLS is, 25mpg...

Hi guys, I've not been on here in a while, been a bit distracted with various other things and a change in car marque. But, I still have my 133 Gordini which shamefully hasn't been driven in about 2 years. :shock: I know, I know, I should have driven it and even more shamefully it's only...

Well I was looking for a replacement for my Megane 225 Trophy. I wanted something faster, bigger, comfier and more luxurious. After considering and doing my homework on M cars I was advised that The CLS AMG was within my price bracket. I stretched the budget a little as this particular example...

Here we have my 2005 RenaultSport Megane 225 Trophy. I have owned this car since February 2014 but have known the car since it was brand new and bought it from the family who bought it new. The car has 48,000 miles and is excellent condition. I know the term mint is overused in terms of car...

Hi guys, I have a selection of car covers (from Coveryourcar.co.uk) which I have used at various points through my Twingos life but which are now redundant. I have recently bought a new cover and having a clearout so have a selection of used covers available which are going FREE! 2x Voyager...

Just phoned up my local dealers to find out the cost of a cambelt for my 133 Gordini as being a 2010 I assumed it would need it done this year. Told me it's 6 years, which I'm pleased about as my 225 Trophy needs it's second cambelt done later this year and that's even more pricey than the £699...

Well the time has come for my mum to sell her Twingo Gordini TCE. She's got her eyes on the new shape Clio in red, so we popped to the local dealership to see what they'd offer her. Because of the state of the alloys, which aren't kerbed but have tarnished, they wouldn't budge above £3,500...

Well I must admit I've probably had about 18 months from feeling a bit 'meh' about detailing. Not that I'd dare let my standards drop on my own cars but I've not had that real urge to get up early and crack on like I used to. Until today! So up at 7.30 and all the gear ready by 8am! :thumb...

Well my Megane 225 Trophy hasn't had any proper detailing love in months and although cleaned as often as possible it was long overdue some TLC. So my friend Ed at Divine Detail was given the car for a 'mini detail' and this was the outcome. Before Car was then sprayed with Citrus...

...and hello RenaultSport Megane 225 number 2! :lol: Basically I've been using my Clio 172 day to day and it's a lot of fun but I'm not finding it very practical, especially as I'll be putting my little girl in the back and it's just too harsh and noisy. Now you may be thinking what about my...

Yes, James May would be so proud!!! We picked up our Dacia Duster about 3 weeks ago after a rather long wait for it to be built. It's a 4x4 1.5 DCI Leareate model so comes with all the things you'd want from a modern car, electric mirrors and windows front/back, aircon, alloys, MP3 headunit...

Well it seems to have come round rather quickly but my Gordini is 3 years old and has just had her first MOT!!! :shock: As you'd expect for a car with exactly 1,195 miles on the clock it passed with no issues. I also treated the car to a service with my local Renault dealership who I must...

Well Gordini 110 is coming up for three years old so I'm going to have my mobile mechanic chappy service it along with my Clio. Now I was looking at the Opie Oils website but there's no service pack for the Twingo RS. Any help would be muchly appreciated. I did search the site but it kept...

Well after a year of ownership my Clio 172 got what I'd consider a proper detail. I had intended to not get prissy about it and actually decided I'd let the local hand car wash look after it. It had been through hundreds of car washes in it's 10 year life so what harm was it going to do having...

When I say an outing I mean that in the loosest sense, I merely took it for a bit of a drive this evening and took a couple of snaps on my iPhone! I apologise for the slightly mucky wheels, the brakes were a little rusty so left a bit more dust than normal. :lol: Still, I had some chap ask me...

Well my other half's Twingo went to it's new owner today. It was the first car she's ever had from new and I must admit it was faultless, brilliant to drive and even 3 years later a great looking small car. The only good thing is it's gone to a RenaultSport family as the new owners...

I promised myself that with my Clio I'd let the hand car wash people clean it. It was only cheap so I wanted to keep it fuss free and just use it day to day. Then the sun came out and I couldn't resist. As much as a £15 valet will get your car relatively clean, it's not a patch on doing it by...

Well the time has come for my girlfriend's 2010 Twingo 133 to go up for sale. She has had the car from new, the car has been superb from day one but now has to make way for a family car as we are expecting our first child in September. Details of the far as follows : 15,500 miles Full Renault...

And hello to mini-225!!! :o Happened a bit quicker than anticipated but over the moon. Don't panic the Gordini is staying haha. But the Mrs will be looking to sell her 133 for something a bit bigger. We had looked at the Megane III Coupe but actually realised there's as much space in...
