Lovely car Burger!! I think the Dolphin Blue is my favourite colour. The thing is that I haven't actually seen a real one in the wild yet. It seems to be a different colour depending on the light. I have my fingers crossed for the warning light to be a cheap fix.

Hi Mick, I haven't driven in mainland Europe since the mid 1990s. My best European tour was seven days in 1986. My mate and I did France, Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Italy and Switzerland, departure point Dover. I think our mileage was 1500 for the week but wouldn't swear by it...

Thanks AEK. Nope, I haven't got a clue what the turbo pressure is! All I know is what the rolling road printout shows above. By the way, the image is just a photograph of the graph they gave me. I don't know what "Total ratio 3.825" means, any ideas? Also, "Weight 900.0" is clearly not the...

Hi JBM, I bought my 156GT on August 4th 2017. My first bit of advice is not to buy the first car you've found. I wish I'd bought a 200THP, for the improved performance. I'm glad I don't have a satnav though, it's a personal thing but it does block the view out of the windscreen quite a bit...

Remap News Hi all, yesterday I took my car for her remap. Caveat Emptor. I know very little about remaps. I just had expectations of getting more power, torque and probably improved MPG. If I make any statements that are wrong, it's because I don't know any better! Any "stock" figures I refer...

It took me a while but she is now "just right". What do you think? Did I do a good job? Some other guy had his GS3 in for mods too. I quite like it. Can you guess the approximate date and venue where I really did take these pics? No cheating. Apologies in advance because I'm quite certain...

Update on my Remap I was asked to take my car in this morning at 08:00 for it's remap. I dutifully turned up at just before 08:00 to find the place locked up and the small yard that they have completely full of six vehicles or so. To be fair, they arrived at 08:05 and moved two vehicles out. I...

Thanks Mick, you made my day! I bought the plate from regtransfers.co.uk. Me and the Mrs were coming home from picking up the car. I said to her, "A private plate would look good on the car". Her reply caught me totally off guard when she said, "Yes. I think we should get one". Well then, as...

One more. Sadly the background is awful but I love the double bubble view and the mirror finish of the door.

It has begun. I've spent about £220 on cleaning materials in the last 10 days. I've visited North East Remaps in Cornsay Colliery to talk about a remap. The bloke I spoke to was very helpful and left me baffled on a few occasions. She's booked in for September 6th. It will take about 5 hours...

Thanks to everyone for their posts. DKZ, I would love to go to a meet but I think I'd have to park my Z off site due to grubbiness. Pleco, great photos, I love the drone ones especially. I want a drone, one that will follow you driving! Scotty, I would appreciate any ideas that you have for a...

Hi neil, Apologies in advance if this is a duplicate. It's good to know that I'm not the only driver attracting plonkers. I am never ever a plonker myself. Never. Promise. Those curves, oh those curves. I read somebody's comment on here about describing those curves that you see in your rear...

nicpy, many thanks! I laughed at your comment. I really appreciate that you found my post interesting and amusing. So I missed my vocation? Would that be the rare writer who compares a Hyundai i10 to an RCZ? I'm pretty sure I'm unique in that respect! But seriously ... thank you :dance:

Thanks stewart for the comment and info about the car's mystique. I'm glad that somebody enjoyed my waffle. I will now go and look for your own "verbiage". It's quite rarely that I post my "waffle" on different subjects on differing websites but when I do I go on and on and on... It is nice...

Initial experiences are bad. I can barely tell the difference. The rain beads but seems to cling to the glass until I get up to at least 60 and then it goes off in streaks. I followed the instructions. Applied it to clean glass and wiped off with kitchen towel. Perhaps I did it wrong or...

I've now had my Mercury Grey 156 GT for 15 days. My commute is a 41 mile round trip, 96% of it on the A68 in County Durham. I've done 527 miles so far. Apart from the commute they have mostly been on Durham Dales roads, twisty, up and down a lot and loved by the fair weather two wheelers at...

That is stunning Neil and inspirational. Superb. :D

Re: Quiet at work so took the opportunity to give her a clea Hi Ian, I've just got my RCZ. I would love to know what that foam/snow type stuff is that you've cleaned her with. I do 41 miles a day to and from work on an "A" road which usually gets along at 45-90mph. The front of my car is...
