I think you have all got it wrong. The impression given here is that you look down on the car because it is cheaper and therefore is within the range of a buyers bracket that you do not seem to want to be aligned with. You seem to want to keep the price up to keep oafs away from the car and...

Ok, lets expand this caveat:- 1) It depends on the driver 2) It depends on the conditions. With the same driver over the same course, standard 172 and standard WRX (dont think ive ever seen one) the following conditions will realise the following: - 1) Dry - Not that much in all due...

Having only test drove a demo 172, which I felt was like driving dead wood (a Ka was better) I still plumped for a Clio as I felt this is an area that I know I can improve upon. This may have only been that one Clio and is not necessarily applied to all 172s. I need to drive another to be sure...

Do not disagree and will be doing some testing when I get the car. I am going to develop a lightweight TechnoMagnesio wheel (mag alloy)with the correct offsets etc for the 172/172 Cup (assuming the offsets on both are the same),,,, ,,,,So will report back which is the most compliant, as if I...

On the Impreza, bigger wheels improve the actual control and feedback although it does ruin the ride comfort and also makes it niggly and follows cambers etc. For me this is how I like to drive. It suits my style knowing exactly where I am on the road. Im not bothered about loosing some comfort.

Its (nearly!!) official. Todays Autocar (7/8/02) has a road test between the Cooper S and the Cup and the Cup wins,,,,, hands down. Quote: - "Take this together with its bold styling, superior driving position and undeniable charm as an object to ogle and what we said eight weeks ago...

As I have not yet picked up the Cup, can I bring along one of my other cars, as it would be good to meet up with some of you regulars. Why is the real action @ Basildon?? Not really much there!!!
