I choke at £400 for metallic paint - never mind £1,200 for Green paint.
Seen one in Aberdeen and it's OK - but not worth the money (for the paint) imho.
Indeed - I'm actually quite surprised at how different the cars actually look when they are next to each other. I'm loving mine and I'm sure you're loving yours too :cool:
Actually think that the chrome pipes at the back are the worst "improvement" they've made :o - But I don't see them that...
I really don't care what the front / the back or the inside looks like.
The 200 is a great driving car (and I'm sure the 197 iss too)
Here's the view the OP will need to get used to ;)
When buying any car you need to know how to start it, how to stop it and how to open the fuel filler cap.
Everything else you can pick up as you go along :D
No - If you press the start button without touching either the brake or the clutch it starts up the accessories (Radio etc) :dead:
You wait to to see the instructions for disarming the Alarm if you want to wash the car - I've read them 3 times (and pondered the very strange pictures) and...
You either have you have your foot on the brake pedal OR the clutch depressed.
apparently it wont start if you try starting it and it's in gear and your foot isn't on the clutch - but I don't fancy finding out if that one works ;).
I think the little switch would be to de-activate the...
That picture was taken approx 20 miles from where I live.
Some call it God's Country - I call RS200 Country :cool:
I might take the "Long" road home tonight and post up pictures of the roads I have to endure tomorrow :D
The last time I did 140 on the public roads the police stopped me - admired the Audi Quattro Coupe I was driving and sent me on my way warning me to slow it down a bit.
How things have changed in the last 20 years ;).
Got the 200 for driving on these sorts of roads - Looking back over the...
I've been nowhere near the red line - and I'm still smiling :D.
To be honest I don't think I'll be going near it too often either - guarantee loss of licence :dead:
It's run in already :D - on the drive home from picking it up.
Mind you - i think I'll still take it easy up to the first 1k (with the occasional wee blast).
Took the A68 up from Hull to Edinburgh so I didn't have to sit on the A1.
Set cruise to 60 and hold on through the corners and...
Having been on some of the b-roads round Scotland in the last couple of days leaving off the cup back doesn't look like being a mistake ;).
I've always bought completely STD cars (well except the Audi Quattro that had just about every extra going - but it was an ex-demo)
To be fair the picture wasn't in the original post ;)
Yep - that's the new beast.
Picked it up Saturday (after the longest month's wait in my life).
Just over 650 miles so far as loosening up nicely :cool:
I'm more concerned for his safety tbh.
If he turns up at the place and starts arguing about price, description etc he could end up getting hurt !!
The car looks a $hitter and there's nothing in the description that says it's a mint example.
With no leg to stand on and arguing the toss...

Offences
It is an offence to alter, rearrange or misrepresent letters or numbers in order to form names or words or in such a way that
makes it difficult to read the registration number. Characters must not be moved from one block to the other e.g. AB51 DVL

The whole sentence is poorly constructed as it doesn't say that where you have to put them in order to get a fine :rasp:. Sounds like they could fine you for putting them up the pig's arse :D
Anyway - Back on topic ;)
"On-the-spot fines raised
Seat belts reduce the risk of dying in a 30mph crash by 60 per cent
Drivers caught without a seatbelt or putting illegal number plates will now face on-the-spot fines of £60, up from the current £30."
He's robbed you !
Yeah - he was just doing his job - I reckon the spirit of the law is for one fine for illegally spaced plates (infact it's probably the letter of the law and piggy has pocketted your extra £30 :rasp:;) )
The fines have doubled - it's not because you had two.
If piggy boy said it was for having...
