Bit of a bump - both cars look great, particularly like the GTI. How are you finding the 172 compared to the GTI? Considering making the swap myself.

As much as I like these, people have awful perceptions of them, particularly when modified. Along the lines of 'hes bought a cheap old beamer just for the sake of having a beamer'

Lmao

No, shes very loose because Mr Clutch rides her (the clutch) all the time. Or am I clutching at straws?

Why the switch from the MCS? Always the way when you come to seriously looking. Just sit tight, a good one will come up.

How long did you have to run on the policy if you don't mind me asking?

Think the Renault F1 sticker, cattle nose ring and colour coded bullets are a bit Cliosport 2008/9, other than that looks good, engine bay looks immaculate.

Doubt you would, they are reportedly s**t to drive. People always trot out the line "you can tune deez up to like 30000 bhp", surely making them even more s**t to drive.

Manz on hype!

Same. These pics are a bit more like it!

I'm all about the 80's stuff; XR's RST's, S1600's Saph Cosworths! Mint!

No lest tasteless than French Car Show, lets be fair. I think Ford Fair as a show is a lot better, far more classics on show and cars with real pedigree than the offerings at FCS and a far better venue.

To be fair, the bad taste comments are equally applicable to French Car Show! Mondeo owners club is pure comedy though...I'm sure I remember a galaxy/S-Max owners stand too from 2010 which had me giggling...

Yeah, a lot more cars there, shows what a huge following Fords have. A lot more owners clubs there, no fault of the FCS. I liked the 0-60 too, got 9.7 in my old ZS :cool:

6.8 to 60 standard? Are you sure? My 106 gti shows a local lads lightly tuned one a clean pair of heels...

Where are pics of the concourse RS2000's, RS Turbos, XR's etc?! See STs and ZS's on a daily basis.

LOL at the depreciation chat. Find me a decent ST for less than £4500. Plenty of tidy 182's of similar age for £3500. They've held their money a lot better than the Clios.

I'm pretty sure no-one would want their front camber looking like that. Wheel looks lost!

MK5 Fiesta / Puma gearchange sets the levels ! Second only to an EP3 type-R out of the cars I've driven. Sorry to detract from your thread Luke, I will reiterate that the pics are stunning!

I went down last year and I thought it was a good day. Some quite amusing sights such as the Mondeo owners club (full of chav dad types) and the concourse stand (which I love, but you have to laugh at some of the owner types, for whom Ford Fair is perhaps one of the few times they get out!)...

Has someone hacked your account?! Or are you talking pre 1980's era old Fords?

Oh right sorry. *Notcoolenoughtobeinoninsidejoke* !

Very interesting - cheers!

It's only the old 1.3 OHV engines that do it anyway ! The zetec engines run smoooooooth if looked after as I'm sure Mr Marr will concur... Great pics and car Luke. "Uruguay"

Yeah as I see it, fuel tax and insurance are compulsary costs that come with any car. The other costs will provide an insight onto the kind of maintenance expenses you might encounter with a 11 year old Clio 172. Btw do you prefer this to the GTI? I sometimes wonder how long I can hold off the...

Re: Project OEM Chavbox. Alot of Pictures Is that the CitroenSport one?

I totally agree about the rather pay someone else to do it mentality...I've suprised myself a few times at being reasonably handy with working on stuff, but anything beyond basic servicing I'd rather pay someone to know the jobs been done properly when its my own car! This is interesting I have...

What is the nature of the handling problem?

Lol I love Marks videos. Co Pilot "errr slow down!"

Class...I love the sound they make as they hit 5k!
