Wish mine were lighter - http://www.crank-world.com/Imag0014.jpghttp://www.crank-world.com/Imag0014.jpg - and Halfords are still convinced, even after testing some of the paint that they mixed, that its tungsten grey
Tungsten grey - bollox. Wish Id listened to the people who warned me not to...
Anyone recommend somewhere good that can lower my Clio in the Worcestershire, Herefordshire or Gloustershire (ish) area?
(And yes, I know I could do it myself - Id just rather not at the mo)
Besides which theres probably a joke in there about smouldering red crosses and American pilots in Iraq not being able to distinguish between the enemy and . . well anything else really.
But Im not going to be the one to make it.
You want scenic - this is taken at a local beauty spot! It was the only angle I could find that only showed one of them - there were 4 and, I kid you not, one of them was still smouldering.

Managed to set off the car alarms either side of me reversing out of a parking space at work this afternoon:devilish: Not bad considering there were only 7 cars including mine.
Forget the windows Daz, see how many ickle babys you can wake up in one single pass of any given high street...
Im paying 25 quid more this year - that covers the exhaust, induction kit and alloys. Well happy.
Liverpool Victoria by the way. Frickin Unison membership has come in handy at last!
Sorry to sound like Im banging on about this but the thing is - whatever it is (still favour BMW Compact myself) it ISNT a Mini. And Cooper S - dont make me laugh. As far as Im concerned BMW are p***ing all over the Mini and the Cooper name.
Here endeth todays rant;)
I know its not on a 172 but-
Adrian Flux - 1.4, 32, 7 yrs NCB, no endorsments, K&N airfilter . . . . . . wait for it - £700. Liverpool Victoria, same details, exhaust and alloys - £250.
Begining to think they just make some of the prices up.
Ive got a K-Tec system and it well wicked. I dont listen to the stereo any more for two reasons a) I love listening to the exhaust burbling away and b) even amped up I CANT BLOODY HEAR IT!!!!!!!!!
Done that in the Mini
My M8 - "Lets see the engine then"
Me - "Ok" (pops bonnet proudly)
M8s Girlfriend - "Whats that thing hanging off the engine?"
Me - (closes bonnet rapidly) "Anyone fancy a pint, Im buying!"
Doh :oops:
Washed the car several times since I fitted em, less said about the sh*tty weather the better and I havent had any probs. I lie. I did have to scrape ice of them one morning last month.
Well said Phoenixd1 what ever it is the New Mini (cough, cough, spit) aint a Mini - its a compact BMW.
BMW are just screwing with the Mini heritage.
And dont get me started on the Cooper S branding - the compact BMW isnt a Cooper in the same way that sticking stripes down the centre of my RT...
10% and I forgot the VAT - its a habit of mine. Maybe thats why my credit card bills are so damn huge. Still, the k-tec exhaust is the way 2 go - U wont regret it M8.
