No fella. My sister lives in Manc, so I'm up fairly often.

I live in Birmingham, but work in Worcester (opticians next to Halifax in the centre).

Following on from that, decided I needed a track friendly mount for the iphone. Went for this, not cheap (£50ish), but sturdy and stable. Had to use some rubber bungs between the arms to help it grip and protect the dash. But it works!

I wouldn't touch cheap coilovers. A good compromise would be the koni adjustable dampers set-up. Well set-up and designed coilovers should be very good on road and track. Although coilovers etc are far from essential.

They will all of been ragged!

There's not a huge difference between them. Late 172's had cruise, so identical spec wise. 172 exhaust is cheaper to replace when it falls off. Given the similarity between them I'd go for the best condition available. I'm selling a 172 soon, I'll pm you once the ad goes up if you're interested.

Imagine you'd have to be more cautious in the merc. Wider. Sounded immense. The CSL is a special car. The clk black is on a different level for me!

I couldn't stop looking at the garaged CLK. AMG?

I think most people took the mick out of the retarded purchase process, as opposed to the car itself.

It's personal preference. None of the cars I've owned from new have been run-in, all ran perfectly. The day I picked the 200 up, warmed it, floored it.

No rev restriction, but they do loosen up.

Please tell me Matt removed my underseat sub before he sold it to you? That car is f**king epic. I'll get all my track vids together for you fella.

One tailpipe extends way more than the other.

For day in, day out driving they aren't as good. But for a 'hoon', the 200 just doesn't reward/thrill/scare in the same way. It's too secure, too composed. But then a 205gti makes a 182 feel a bit boring, as does a 306gti.

You could apply the same thinking to a mobile. Clothes. Anything. I personally wouldn't buy a new hot hatch with my own money. But I wouldn't buy a second hand car, which will most likely cost the same monthly, on finance. Personally I've no idea why anyone would tie up more than £5k ish of...

I'd say the engine was a bonus. Cup packs isn't a big deal if you have any plans to mod the suspension, no cup packs would actually be an advantage.

You don't need a specific boss, momo etc will fit. Just make sure you get the correct one, ph1 and ph2 are different.

Its not a competition lol. My left knee's fubar'd and I found it uncomfortable in traffic. Nowhere near as bad as the pug, and not bad enough to stop me driving them though.

If you have a bad knee, in traffic it can be pretty uncomfortable.

Even with a brand new clutch, mine was far heavier than an average car.

They aren't that heavy. Try a 306gti!

It's very easy to be arsey about it, but genuinely, why is everything distorted? All the pics look, well, ruined?

Why is everything distorted?

Didn't like the feel/weight.

I can't stand them.

And you have a more sensible daily bus. I would of kept slagathor if I had a daily slut.

True. I don't buy clothes, music, games, etc based on how much I can sell them for. And I'll bet they cost me more over 2-3yrs than any clio will depreciate!

I would of thought he's gone for the pcp deal? Depreciation is a fact of life. You can't end up with a nicer car without facing that fact.

They aren't as much 'fun', but they best the mk2's in other area's. Despite the ultimate (ie on track) pace being about the same, 95% of people would be quicker in a mk3 because it's easier to drive.
