Ha, Russ your mum sounds ace. Can I have her number mate? Seriously though, it's a car, drive what you want or what you need. It really is that simple

Well aren't you grown up, Alan. Jesus, it's a car that's fun to drive, pretty practical and cheap. The only way I'd ever judge someone driving one is if they'd modded the hell out of it and ruined it

I'm 26 and always had fiestas and focuses up until last year. Decided to get something much more grown up in a V70. Absolutely beautiful car but the most boring thing I've ever driven. Got myself a 172 after that and now I even look forward to driving to work in the mornings. My only problem now...

Ahhh, so there are a few of us in Leeds then

Get an 02 Fiesta or something. That Fox looks horrific. I'd have a corsa over that!

A policeman isn't going to pull you over for not declaring you are the main driver. Yes, you will be lying on an insurance policy...I personally don't have a problem with that.

Never hear anyone on here suggest a non-cupped 172.

Yeah that actually looks spot on. Don't usually like modded cars, but that's nice. Must need cleaning twice a week like

Haha, you work in insurance Russ?! Jesus, if you can get it for cheap then do whatever you can. Insurance itself is the biggest scam going. Fleece the b*****ds all you can.

Haha

So you drive a different car and weren't in the area but think it may have been you?!

I had a 60K service at Birchdown and they give the car a once over and tell you any other bits that might need sorting in the near future. No problems really, just my reg light. Then I took it to Renault for the bonnet catch and they mentioned that my engine mounts are mis-shapen. Now it looks...

I hate how Clios, Fiestas and cars of that category are becoming more focus-sized. The 172/182 is a perfect size for people who enjoy driving a car and don't have much need for room. I fear I'm treading on thin ice as a Clio driver...but stepping down to the Twingo seems a bit gay.

Ahh company insurance, the life saver. My mate has a carpet shop and added his Impreza to the policy. £50 FOR THE YEAR!!!!

A 182 at 18. Lucky begger! I had a 1L Fiesta

Well they definitely don't look 'sh*t'. I wouldn't have them but they look good!

If it's got FSH on an 05 plate then the cam belt will have been done in 2010 surely? Anyway, I'm looking for an RB ff so get some pics up mate! I'll certainly beat a webuyanycar quote.

So belts don't need doing then

15 hour commute? That's rough

Yeah, not my cup of tea but it looked well looked after. Stickers all over it. On Kingsway, Wrose. Anyone here?

That eBay link is an absolute horror show! What's wrong with people?!

50k is fine. The age of the car probably isn't though.

'Wrong' has a 'W' in in mate.

It's the difference between a £5 puncture and a £100 puncture

Williams in Leeds Valley Ind Estate. Fairly near Ventura. Looked pretty low and tidy!

Haha. Quality. I had a Fiesta years ago and the revs used to die every time you put the clutch to the floor. This resulted in me having to press the clutch, brake and tickle the throttle every time I rolled up to a junction, all simultaneously. Sheer panic every time I slowed down!

Fair enough. I just can't do it. If there's a good opportunity I have to floor it!

I get about 36mpg in my 172 on a decent run. What's the point in owning a Sport if you're not gonna get your foot down!

The dephaser causing a rough idle you mean? Don't know how you can keep a car garaged for so long. What a waste

How much are you wanting for it at the moment mate?
