Would you please list in order of importance, those factors which resulted in your purchase of a Cup as apposed to a 172 ?
ie; Cost , Performance , Colour , Saftey , 100% Track use only etc...
Many thanks to "CUP owners"
I keep seeing these little old cars around my way. 5 so far. There are 2 on car sales forecourts I noticed last night.
Heres the hard part. I havent a clue what they are.
Main features are :
2 door saloon.
Old fashioned light green colour.
Creamy white roof and hub caps.
Look like an...
Dont you just love it when some twits have nothing better to do.
I aint bothered about the cost, but the hassle of getting it all sorted out is as much a pain in the arse as the one they would have if I get hold of them.:@

Do you drive an blue MG Z180 by any chance?.
Do you spend your evenings racing up and down the A13?
Do you find great big BMWs get in the way of having a good race with Clio V6s?
:D
Would it be possible to get a tracker that allows you to monitor the car yourself directly on your PC. You could sit at home and watch while the fitter starts the engine, drives it to Tescos and then to the pub for lunch.
Print of the whereabouts information and slap it on the reception desk...
I grabbed this pic of the net about 2 years ago. Notice the V6 ( trophy model ) has silver air vents.

Last night a friend of mine said " Jamie I see you still have that fancy little Clio " He was amazed that I have had the car for longer than 12 months.
I said I normally get bored with cars very quickly, but when I have been for a drive in this one and get home, lock it up, I still have a wee...
Funny name for a colour.

When accelerating the car obviously pulls back if you dont change gear soon enough.
What governs this?
Is it the gearbox set up?
Can it be extended to allow a later change up?
What would be the effects of removing this ( if possible )
Oh and top speed limiter. Is this the same...
Under estimate the abilities of a Williams.
They go like stink LOL.
Had a wee race with one last night. I almost had to go back into 5th to get clear of it. I think we both pissed of that Mundano, he kept his full beam on me too. Then again we shouldnt use the public roads as our own wee...

I have added a new page to my wee website. If you have any problems about this please contact me.
Thanks.
Would I be right in thinking that any new car would be better improved using after market performance parts?
All this talk of the Cup being, improved ECU this, and uprated suspension that, and better wheels the other. Yet some Cup owners ask questions about Eibach springs an R-Sports gadgets...
