Ha ha, seeing as my 50 mile commute is M4-M25 I only missed it when the traffic moved and it took until the next time it stopped for me to catch up.
Petrol was cheaper and the throwing a 1.2 around was quiet good fun.
Nothing, the old is trading her clio in and I put the mileage on hers. Mines been sat in the garage not moving and i've racked up a few k's in hers instead, lol.
After 5 weeks spent driving a Meggy 1.9d and the old dears 1.2 authentique clio, getting back in the 172 was such a shock.
Long way round to work and driving a car without body roll like venessa feltz on a water bed was such pleasure.
Makes you appreciate the car and its performance.
So its about the same. Most would probably want £9-10 for fitting and balancing (thats if you can find somewhere, most are funny about fitting tyres they didnt supply).
The rating will make a difference if your phoning round for quotes.
Ok, it has one, but it does nothing. Better? The rears do next to nothing, if you searched, you'd find that cups have very little wear on the rears. you cant adjust it (as far as 99% of people are aware). I think adjustment is for ABS on the chubbies
Having already had to pick mine up off the road, re spray it and re fit, its just a clip in and out job. No Screws.
think you have to fold the mirror in, then lever it out, it should just pop out.
Anyone else had problems on the Live mail?
Not been able to read mail on the PC for about a week and have to use the mobile to read them.
Getting a missing framework message and the main page loads up, but not the actual emails. Its like the Java isnt loading up correctly(if it uses it).
My 2 favorite comment of 2005 regarding mod'd cars
'How does it feel to have spent £7k on your car for it to look like its laughing at you?'
'It looks like a smash robot'
Are you really that bothered what other people think? If you like what you've done to the car, thats fine. Others might not and this is a forum to express opinions, good or bad.
i'd buy a white 197 cup with black alloys & recaro's tomorrow. I have a feeling that white is making a come back and we'll be inundated by manufacturers in the next year.
