What a great meet, realistically the only one id attend once I get my 172/182. Was in Peterborough few days ago, sure I saw that black 172 and a RB 182 with turinis following on a few cars behind, both sounded awesome and made me want one even more. Nice little detailing session, Collinite is...

I passed about a year ago now, Insurance premiums have just gone down and I currently have a bank with more than enough for a 182 ahah... Seen a few nice flamers with low mileage and I will be buying after Christmas. Untill then, my car is doing me perfectly fine, 133,000 on the clock and still...

did wonders on my little fiat punto, bumpers are all black and mirrors and door handles etc.. Ordered a 25ml bottle and it's probably the best thing I've bought for the car since owning it. Still got about 17ml left :D Leaves a nice black finish to the bumpers and not too glossy. Best of all...

Amazing photos, love the Phase 1's... What phone did you use to get picture quality like that?!

Mind if I take a look in halfords tomorrow to try and find this very same air freshner then copy the idea? As I really need a Ipod holder as there is nothing in my car.

Sure I spotted this Trophy going past College of West Anglia in Wisbech a few days ago. Only got a glimps and the first 4 letters/numbers match that plate.

Get a nice set of legal pressed plates, some nice F1 alloys then you can't go far wrong, looks in reasonable condition!

Id be proud to have this for a first car, looks imaculate... Miles better than my Punto ;) Nice buy there for the price. Car is screaming out to be lower and colour coded! Goodluck!

Exactly, do you ever get the feeling that you care for your cars more because they mean so much to you? I once read up on a moddified insurance website that the amount of people making claims because they had crashed their car were alot lower than average cars because they took more care in...

One word for you... DAMN, good car collection! I think I would find it really hard to find a next car... And this is probably my one massive reason why im getting one. I dont think I could ever get bored with one of them. It would put a smile on my face all the time and I think gaining my NCB on...

I fully agree with him... Most of my friends have already crashed. Some of them multiple times. :( As I said in a post before hand, i'm a sensible driver. I think if I were ever to "want to know what the car can do" I'd find a runway or a race track atleast that way its moderatly safe. my car...

Any decent multi purpose cleaner you have laying around the house, cover up the coil packs and all electrical sources. Spray stuff onto areas that you want cleaning, leave for 5/10 minutes, give them a quick brush over to aggitate the dirt. and then power wash off, to finish off dress with some...

It's something different, top marks for it. I think yellow is a great colour and therefore I love it. Anyone ever painted that rear bumper recess bit (the black non colour coded bit)?? :D

well thank you all for your responces be it possitive or negative. I've come to the conclusion that I will be buying a 172 when I next get paid, i'll be looking for a flamer perferabaly. I know what to look for when buying second hand cars and I'm sure I can find that perfect car, I wont rush...

Already had a look at a Starlet... Not my cup of tea. Aparantly they handle like a dogs dinner. I'm not after a fast car as such. Just one with a lot of presence if you get what I mean?

For the time being before I have to fork out for a mortage.. Yes :) Im sure i'll love it from the second I sit in one :D ^ If you could ;)

Exactly, so you've just proven that a 172 can be owned by a 17 year old and not totaly wrecked in a ditch somewhere. £4.65 an hour atm :( Unfortunatly. Getting a rise come September to £6.60 "i have done 60 hour shifts" im back to doing 39's now though. Then cutting down to 20 hour shifts...

Young drivers are prone to accidents, I'm quite a cautious driver and I rarely drive irresponsibly. Exactly my point though, you only live once and at the moment my car is everything to me, education is comfortable and i'll be going to Uni in a year. Got everything planned out. Alchol at...

Exactly what I was thinking. I've noticed that with all the insurance threads on here, I've double checked with my insurance company and they say that they can quote £1625.00. I'll double check and get a letter though. I will do :D Policy with me as the named driver, mum as a second driver...

£1625/ Year i've been quoted... The only reason im looking at one in the first place. As above.

I've been day dreaming about getting a clio 172/182 for a few months now. I have been working 50/60 hour weeks occasionaly just for the opportunity of owning one. Just seen this one up on Pistonheads; http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1990141.htm Alot of you may know this one seeing...

At this rate i'll be 17 with a 182... Working my socks off to say the least. Aiming for 18 and a 182 though. Will be a happy day when I get it either way. The way my insurance is looking it'll just be sitting on the drive. ;)

Id be proud to have this car at 17, Instead I have a £500 Punto LOL.

Ahh not a bad little car that... Sucks that it's on Punto GT alloys though ;) Don't rag it like the clio though or you'll be changing the head gasket :D

Tell me where im going wrong ;) I've had wild insurance quotes too. But I would be willing to pay for them... Seeing as my car is basically all I have :D

17, Fiat Punto 75... Ohh happy days. Will be 18 with a 182 at this rate. £2,500 saved already. :) 5 months to go!
