1st pics of the 172 and last, hopefully sold.
Quite a short ownership period, i know i gave it some grief initally, but after a while i started to enjoy it! Going to miss the cheap and carefree motoring!
Quick detail this morning, prior to testdrive. Best it looked!

Brillaint customer service imo!
Just insured a multicar quote with them, girl was so helpful and really nice!
£659.61 for Z, and 682 for V starting on 1/5/09. :) gave me free break down cover.
Anyone had any experience...? Anygood, any issues on claiming etc?
Just had a wee play with it there...Prospective quote for April 1st when the Vee comes back on the road.
Was 1498 for the Vee and Z4. 250 Excess...Which imo isn't bad! As one car doesn't have NCB.
Just concerned about...
How is this different to normaly Carbon Fibre....Prob a very daft question...
Reason i ask...I'm interested in getting the vee roof done...And after finding out the White Z4M is simply a carbon skin not a full carbon roof like the CSL i presume i'm now interested...
Who does it etc?
Look quite funny! It's bloody warmer in there than it is in my house at the minute!
Caterham is nearly ready for SVA also! :) Just need some comfier seats so the old man can fit his arse in it!

Over there for a while with work.
Big thanx to John for being tour guide and getting me wrecked! 200£ Night out! lol!
Highlight of the night was the Siberian chick! That and 360 degree's bar!
Abu Dhabi is an amazing city, V under developed in comparison but Oil focused.
Whilst i...
I'm going to draw my own conclusion from this...
Other than the fact the clutch cable is stiff and notchy meaning it's hard to move off the car struggles to move away!
Engine mounts?
So used to the Vee that the 172 is just hard work to drive!
Got a PDF which is outside the margins of the page…I.e. when I print a bit of the left hand side is missing…How do you move it over? I’m both pisch with comps nor have the time to dick around with it…The Cliosport IT support would be welcome? Failing that I’ll e-mail it to you.

First time we've had a meet...only 5 of us due to a couple of technical problems, but the attention we drew was just incredible.
Weather was MISERABLE in the morning....We couldn't even see glencoe. I've only posted pics from the afternoon which thankfully cleared up!
Everyone made an...

Close on 8k for a set...Bloody nice tho.
Not great pics...I need to learn how to do low light shots! The grainy pics and noise killed all the pics...These are the best of the bad bunch tho.
Comments welcome.

HUMPED!! Seriously fast!!! Like SERIOUSLY! And i was giving it full beans.
This would equate to a 172 vs a 1.2!! Second Vid is me driving, and dodgy on the clutch! lol! Some noise, but scary to drive!
Was cool to swap cars for a bit tho! :approve: will do it again sometime.
<object...
Friend of mine sent this over. They went out for a shoot the other nite, this was taken 11:45pm and the light is from the moon! Exposure was 30 minutes!
Few shots from last nite...Picked the dullest day to have a meet but some stunning cars there...Credit to Lomax ansd Mark...Both Golfs are simply epic! A credit to both of you's!
Light was crap, so pics are grainy as fook. But i've tinkered wi them a little.

For all you DC5 lovers it's got all the right mods, and yes it will thrash a 182! Been there...
