with a speed limit of 70 and 2 many cameras to get away with much over a ton (for very long anyway), youll only get left behind on slip roads!
Id bet a tenner that half of the ppl have not got 172/182s
well done Pal!
I just missed a Trophy by LESS than 1 second on Sunday mornin
(1 mile hill-climb sprint - 250ft climb including 1:7 on a racing bike)
winner 4 mins 21.6
me 4 mins 22.5
double FU**
just got renewal thru from Reno.
phoned round and no one can get within £70!
- dCi 80 with 17s, lowered springs
- sp 30 for speeding
- claim in 2002
- 35 yrs doing 20K pa including business??
£500, £400...............
one pound a day!
.... £365 including protected no...
trip blanks to _ _ _ and orange light comes on with 9.3 Gals (about 42 litres)
safe for another Gallon and half MINIMUM
50 miles on a 182?
(actually hold 51/52L to the brim)
LEAVE IT
AND save, save, save
a standard Oasis in good nick with a wodge of receipts in a nice little plastic wallet will ALWAYS sell easily cos of low insurance, running costs etc.
** ANY modded lower end spec car is difficult to sell **
ask yourself - if you needed a cheap runabout...
^^ ditto
warrenties are only insurance schemes
there are so many exclusions that they are almost worthless
set up a standing order for £50 a month into an ISA (tax free instant access), then theres EMERGENCY money when you need it!
Mk 1 172 is ACE,
but i dont drive fast any more. I just love the looks/toys on the 172.
presuming you also mean you dont rev. the nuts off it, wot about a 2003 dCi 80 Dynamique? - most of toys CD auto wipers, auto lights, spots, alloys etc.
for same money as Mk1 172 youd get a MINT low...
^^
nah 50L is nominal capacity, light comes on at 9.3 gals (42 L)
add on filler pipe and more like 51 or 52
I did 115 on orange and got 51L in the D ;-O
changing jobs soon - better job, crappy commute
Old: 30 miles twisty single carriageway with yumps, bumps and twist
SWERVE-SCREECH-YUMP-WOOHOO
New: 15 miles dual carriageway, 15 miles on dead straight A road!
YAWN-THUMP-YAWN-THUMP (lowered sus & 17s)
Remember the Ones and even Coopers dont have the standard spec. of a Dynamique
expect POVERTY at a PRICE!!
a Mini One D would have cost me close to 13K with the same spec. (air, alloys, CD...) as my Dynamique that I paid 9800 for!
^^ oh and a Mini D is MUCH slower, smaller and thirstier!
