The nearest one is 30 miles away in Nairn - according to this shell map WTF!:@ http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1054759988__x1100y3400s500w450h300.jpg
My cousins VTR use to get to 130+mph;) God know what the actual speed was but it was fast! Needed a few up and down rolling hill type roads to get there but it managed it. I managed 140+mph in my XR2 but that involveld one very steep hill!:devilish:
Why choose 172??? Because you want one - you need no other reason or to have to explane it/Justify to any else! Its personal choice - Why I got a Williams and all my other cars - you like a CTR - so what! I like a Focus RS - others dont - so what!! Buy what you like . SIMPLE
If your checking out FT.com there is a "views on the R5 GTT" thread on the go if your still undecided on the R5/RS thing. Most peeps over there like em...
Rob try a search on the Yokos - if I remember correctly not everyone is as enthusicastic about them as some of us on this thread! Better to get the most opinions poss for tyres as they are important;)
LOL Daz - I had Yoko A539s on my last car - I was the slowest thing on the road in the wet - they have to be better than that! My 2 rears were both 1.6 on the old Mich tyres so it was a lot or unwanted rear end action too with the Willie.;)
Well the AP22 if off e-bay - I couldnt resist it (credit card:() so I should get it this week. Roll on some times!!!
Got 4 new Toyos 195/50 R15 fitted on saturday - Heres what I think (if you care;)) so far:
The Bad - The Williams is far less composed over bumpy roads than with the 185s, I...
Cheers guys - the cars running fine so I hoped it would be ok. im using some super expensive stuff and the GF managed to spill most of the 5 litres over the shed floor - Grrrrr
How much (if any) oil should my car burn? I havent had to put extra oil in a petrol car before between services! This is the second month in a row ive put some in the Williams.
It seems to be using about 1/8th per 1000miles - thats a very very rough guess BTW!
Is this normal?
Well ive seen my local alloy refurb guy for a price and he has quoted:
£40 ea all Gold
£50 ea Gold with silver rim
My main problem is that he cannot do the diamond cut silver finish just a normal alloy silver!
What does everyone think? Should I go with either option or do you know...
Are you saying you handbag is bigger than mine Rob?;)
Mikey you will get a lot of that! I travelled 600miles for each of mine and 500 miles for my Willie! Had a few trips that turned out to be a waste of time for similar reasons to yours!
I use a autotrader search for the whole UK and off I...
I would say most comments on here are pretty fair - its all down to opinion! Have you driven a FRST yet Mikey? It is crude (BenR used for the cossie:D) and no power steering makes a big difference too! Its unrefined and noisy. You really have to make sure its for you.
It has great mechanical...
Cats - bloody cats!! I just remembered - there has been cats sleeping on my bonnets and one has tried climing on the bonnet bulge and left some nasty scratches!!!:@ I think my car is Jinxed - I take it it doesnt repel cats?
Some suggested curry powder! Sod if im driving a curry flavoured...
