I remember somebody else did that on here. I don't see the point, just seems like a bit of a fad to me. Sorry chap. :)

I had a crash whilst saving up for my Cup, I lost 2yrs no claims and I thought I would never get insured on the Cup, I was considering not claiming because of this. But I did claim and my quote for the Cup went up by roughly £400, so not too bad, considering the payout was £2100. I was...

Coilovers on a 1.2? :/

Coolio.

Never ask a girl to do a man's job.

In my last car the idle adjustment was literally a screwdriver job to tighten it or loosen it.

Great find. :)

The Asbo is fooking ugly lads, simple as that. FRS owns it in terms of styling.. they ain't got a clue lately. And as for the engine, I think it was a bit of a cop-out putting in a Volvo engine. Lazy tw*ts!

I'm getting 34MPG out of the Cup at the minute. 5k, lol.

I like to think anyone who buys a 172/182 has already got the lets-do-a-car-up business out of their system. Why should you want to mod it? I mean any real gains in the engine department is gonna see you putting a turbo in which is gonna cost you thousands.. in which case anyone would be...

Ford certainly got it spot on with the ZS. The drive differs so much from the Cup.. they're both awesome cars in different ways, the driving position, steering wheel and gearbox are perfect in the ZS. But I'll take nothing away from the Cup apart from the gear throw could be a lot shorter. My...

I've said it before, FOR ME, if the Cup had the gearbox out of the Zetec-S it would be my perfect motor right now... ah what the hell, it still is, but the Fiesta gearbox would be nice. :)

Oh and the print on the gear knob is pretty whack, I think it wears off on all Cups, mine is starting to fade, the two I test drove before I bought this were both faded fully. No big deal really. One other point: You do not buy a Cup because of the interior. That should be the last thing on...

lol Rory.

I have just come in the house from following one.. Was tryna get him to put his foot down but he wasn't really having any. haha. Probably still tryna run it in.

Well that's not gonna help him round the bends is it?

If you want a fun, involving drive then they don't come much better than the 172 Cup for the money. My advice would be to try and find a 53 plate one with climate control, nice little extra to have on the later ones. :) I bought mine back in Jan for £7500, 20k miles, CC etc. Bodywork was almost...

I think the boot mats are a waste of money personally, especially for how much more they cost. I mean it's hardly ever gonna be seen (if you're like me and never go in the boot, hehe), plus I can't see what purpose it really serves.

Damn that's a stunning looking car. Pics from the rear look fantastic.

Excellent :)

Love that colour with Turinis, looks amazing. Not sure I like the smaller plates tho :/

I paid £7500 for my Cup in January. 53 plate, climate control, 20k miles, warranty remaining. :)

Looks lovely. Any pics of the back end?

Thanks again Rory. Glad we're moving things along now.

You're joking! When I have the Cup drivers seat as far down as it will go I can barely see the end of the bonnet. I have it half-way up. hehe

Tough (o Y o)

In my Cup they're in the spare wheel well.

47, 172 Mug

Hear hear! all hail Rory!
