Getting excited now...... Flame red 172

[Trainerbrow]

Going to view a flamer on saturday

Been speaking to the guy for a couple of days on phone/text. Arranged to viewing for tonight (thursday) but he is now stuck in London til friday evening, so we have agreed saturday morning.

He's promised me first dibs on the car as I have been so enthusiastic about getting down to view it.

Train tickets booked. Cach in my pocket.


I just hope its as advertised. If it is........... its coming home with me :rasp::rasp::rasp:


Fingers crossed!!!

[sussex_gti]

[dave126]

removed, thought above was OP

 

[matt5687]

think he meant the flamer. so yeah Ph1 or 2?

 

[Trainerbrow]

ah

Its a Phs2 (the best, obvioulsy)

Plans will involve a cup package, some dark rims, and generally keeping it as Renault intended

 

[Alic01]

Its a Phs2 (the best, obvioulsy)

How very dare you lol

 

[Trainerbrow]

Oh come on Alic, lol

Its arguably better looking, has all the toys, and a better colour interior.

I dont think the 0.54566465 seconds difference 0-60 is all that its cracked up to be

 

[Daz_RT_04]

Its a Phs2 (the best, obvioulsy)

Oh Dear...

 

[Malky]

Did they make 172's on 05 plates? I thought the 53 plate was the last one?

 

[Trainerbrow]

Correct

 

[DrR]

What reg is it? on the off chance it was my old one.

 

[Malky]

Assuming its a 182 then?

 

[DrR]

lol at this 05 plate thing, read the thread just dave 126 talking about his 182 cup.

 

[Alic01]

Lol i was only kidding, i would have a Ph2 for every reason you mentioned, i just found a Ph1 i liked.

Also im sad and much prefer the look of the Ph1, dont know why!! Only other thing the Ph1 wins on is white dials, again prob just me being sad but i love em

 

[Malky]

lol at this 05 plate thing, read the thread just dave 126 talking about his 182 cup.

whoops. My bad lol

 

[Trainerbrow]

lol

The flamer is an 02 plate, but its got a private reg on it at the mo

 

[matt5687]

Front end of the PH 1 is epic! The back for me is not as nice as the Ph2 which i think is proven by the fact so many change to ph2 lights and sometimes bumper.

Ph2 ftw though :rasp:

 

[D1CKY]

Did they make 172's on 05 plates? I thought the 53 plate was the last one?

I thought there was a few of the last 172's running on 04 plates ?

I hope the car is what the guy says it is and you come home with it.

If you do, get some pics up

 

[edewer]

Picking up my ph1 on saturday too! So so excited about it!

not so excited about the 6am start to go get it though! and the fact that the mate who's giving me a lift's car is s**t and will probably break down on the way!!!

[Harpham]

Flamers are the best colour to have tbqfh!

Good luck with it, hope its all good!

 

[Alic01]

Good luck, hope its as advertised and you get a good deal!!

 

[Brett]

ah

Its a Phs2 (the best, obvioulsy)

If you like your car looking like a 1.2 Dynamique not a hot hatch

Hopefully its a good one for you mate.

 

[matt5687]

^^ :slap:

lol

 

[matt5687]

Subtle differences on a hot hatch FTW imo

 

[Trainerbrow]

well, saw another flamer tonight in preston, on pistonheads. From a trader.

He promised the earth, but all he gave me was manure


Roll on tomorrow morning

 

[edewer]

only 5 hours til i leave to go get mine to excited for sleep lol

 

[Trainerbrow]

a wasted day getting the train to nottingham

I was a shitter, with some gay filter on it. Turns out his "mate" had done the cambelt. Time wasting wanker

Or if he wanted to be totally true to So Solid style, 23 hours and 39 seconds
