The question isn't why should you get one. Its why *shouldn't* you get one. You won't regret it... No one ever does (unless you put it in a ditch) ;)

Popular car that one... ;)

Well, well... just caught up with this thread... addition details about the car. It was the chance the engine needed replacing that the insurers were worried about. The fact the frame may have been damaged as there were creases above the b pillars didn't help. Total damage was something like, 2...

I am not sure if there are many Swiss peeps on here. But I spotted a Silver Mk1 172 with different alloys and 2 massive pipes sticking out the back. It was parked by the Mercat Galvany. Just on the off chance........................

Yeah, nice!

Please don't ask Loony for a constructive comment about the mods... it would be much worse for you... I'd stick with what he has said if I were you... I do like the colour though. :)

I agree. defintely the way to go. But if you are wanting some track action, go for a Trophy as that is a lot better than a FF on the twisties. One thing: Can anyone explain to me the point of the 182 Cup? To me it seems a waste of time.
