Unfortunately most of the time! We live in a tiny village with no pub or shop and work 15m away, both at the same place (although the misses only does 3 days a week!) so our 20 month old daughter has to go to nursery. Any weekend trips out are in the family car as well, which is currently a...
WOW - How did you guess??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:oops::oops::oops:
How the fooking hell did that happen????????????
I didnt even know Id posted that!!!!!!
I guess kno*head of the day gos to me then????!!!!!:oops:
At least its given you lot something to do on a Sat night!!!!!;)
Just been and bought a Megane Dynamique 1.6 VVT 5 door as our family transport today and talked the salesman into lending me their 182 demo car for the afternoon!
I bought a brand new CTR 3 years ago over a 172 and one of the main reasons was the looks. I dont want to start a recent subject...
Valver for me.
I agree that the 172s/182s look too similar to the std models in the range (although I can tell the difference I sometimes have to look twice), hence I bought a CTR 3 years ago.
Heres the requested pic from above the valver........ nice...
A 1977, old S reg Triumph Dolomite 1500HL. This was 13 years ago...... damn I feel old!
Was a really comfy ride, nice plush interior with wooden dash, an overdrive gearbox and twin carbs! Bought it for £50 with tax and MOT!
It was a sicky yellow colour so I spent a week stripping it and...
Sh*t! Thats 5 plus me & you! I might have to sell up, I prefer a bit more exclusivity!!!!!
Dont fancy the afterburners thanks mate. I prefer the std look.
Did I say Saffron Indian.....? I meant Kebab shop near Mavericks!!!!;)
Are ther any other Clios around near us? I do know a lad from Driff with a 172 and a lad from Holme on Spalding Moor with one as well.
Ive had the valver for 3 weeks now and have not yet seen another one on the road!
Have only been into Driff a couple of times recently.
Might be in tomorrow night, only to pick up an Indian from Saffron take-away though!
Work in Pocklington so dont need to come that way often.
Certainly do feel the difference in power between CTR and valver. The valver isnt as quick as I thought it would be (little car with nearly 140BHP). Ive had a Saxo VTS (not for long mind, fed up that I could never find it in a car park amongst all the others;)) and it doesnt feel any quicker...
The CTR....

JayR, I really like the Arrows, I think they suit it. Matter of opinion I suppose!;)

Sure has! Its getting well looked after, dont worry!
Ill call in sometime, Im often near you, and let you touch it!!!!;)
NV - Ive figured out now that Naples is the fastest colour! Also the classiest. Never heard of hillpower? Will have a look.
Not bad is it Matt ;)(<- Previous owner!!! Missing it yet???)
Bought the CTR new Dean in 2002, my misses works at same place as me so I was only using it twice a week. We then had a daughter in 2003 and are extending our house, I also had a mint 205 1.6GTi and couldnt justify the cost of...
Type_Mo, clear reps are on the list. One small thing can make such a difference (thats what my misses said about me when we found out she was pregnant!:cry:)
Thanks JayR, car is totally immaculate. A credit to its previous 2 owners! There really is not one bit of rust anywhere, or dent, or...
