    Had to put her up for sale

    Or have kids AND have fun!? :S :rasp:

    Had to put her up for sale

    In all serious-ness, It's possible to cart the family around in a 3-door, but it's a pain if it's your only means of transport. 5-doors are definitely a boon with kids, especially when they're playing up! I'd suggest you get a cheap family run around (I'd imagine a mk5 5-door Fiesta is cheap to...

    Wheel Choices...

    I really, really like them mate! :) If you get them, let me know - I keep meaning to pop my head round and say hello!

    F4R into Volvo 340/360

    My parents had a 1.4 340 YEARS ago, and i remember it being a slow, boaty, heavy old barge with armchair seats!! Awesome idea for a conversion! Like an AE86 on the cheeeeeap. Almost. :)

    Sold my iceberg 172 :(

    Considered a Yaris T-Sport? Pretty bomb-proof and not as slow or mundane as a 1.4 206... Just a thought.

    Uncharted 2: Among Thieves

    Got stuck on the bits with the commando and the 'indestructible thing' but has proved a really enjoyable way to spend a hangover weekend! :) Everything is stunning: - Snow - Borneo - Nepal - The scale of 'Path of Light' - etc, etc. :)

    PC- COD modern warfare 2

    If the rumours are true, then it's a sad day and people will continue to play/ mod CoD4! Would have thought they'd be advertising it by now (L4D was advertised over a month in advance of release!) - considering how money-grabbing Activision are proving themselves to be!

    Creaking top mount

    FWIW - WD40 is oil-based and rots rubber, If it were me, I'd use something synthetic like a motorbike chain lube or silicone lubricant.

    Grill removal?

    If it's like a mk2 ph2 1*2 (which I imagine it would be!) then you have to take the bumper off to access the tabs that secure the grilles. Easy job, should take less than an hour. > clicky <

    £10k to spend. 197?

    ^ No, really - it doesn 't. I'm 6'1 and although snug, the S2k had ample leg-room and a comfortable distance for reach. If pressed, I would have been a touch more comfy with a greater range of seat movement. In the MX my hands would foul against my legs when turning tight corners. I felt I...

    £10k to spend. 197?

    I wasn't shooting you down, just correcting what I believed to be wrong. The Elise is not the best all-round daily driver, agreed? Now, re: the MX-5 vs. S2000 debacle. I understand the handling/ hard riding argument, thanks for clearing that up for readers who may not know, though! To me, the...

    £10k to spend. 197?

    Having owned an S2000 and still own an S1 Elise, I feel qualified to comment on your post. "Giving up on a few comforts" - If the OP is happy not having: - carpet - a heater that de-mists the windscreen - a stereo that you can hear above the road noise - no carrying capacity for even weekend...

    how different is a 172cup to drive versus 182?

    ABS or not, if you drive like an arse you *will* crash. Keep your car tip-top, don't skimp on decent rubber, drive according to the conditions and you *should* be fine... ;)

    does anyone not mod their cars?

    ^ This. Replacing all the bits that fail is keeping me on my toes! * * I bought my car with some easily sorted 'issues' so until the car is perfect, I'm not modding it... ** ** Apart from fitting Eibachs to replace the shocking Apex thast were on it when I bought it!

    High mileage trophy

    You appear to have got a bargain there nby! Get the bits above sorted - very easy, if pricey for the suspension refurb - then check the belts have been done (they may have been, but I can't be arsed to read the whole thread)... Then drive the bloody thing, don't sell it!

    Wheel decision

    ^ Why put a 172 on steelies? To my mind, the flex of steelies would compromise a fine handling car??
