I watched it last year where loads of famous people like Vic Reeves, Damon Hill and some Baron entered. DH was driving a Yellow Diablo spinning his wheels on London Bridge ! I would have loved to have been in the car with him ! Last year there were some right headers in a red Ferrari (the...

Question is in the topic really. What are your opinions on this subject ? The reason I ask is because there are quite a few long stretches of road where I live and since I have had the 172 I usually take over a whole bunch of cars on the clear straights but only when it is CLEAR for a long way...

I must have been doing around 80 when I saw him and then slowed down to around 60, when he was behind me I was doing around 70 so he must have been doing around 80-90 the way he was approaching me ! I could not believe that he would try and overtake a faster car than him when there was the...

That is foul ! Makes you think about what speeds you do, that was a crash at 175mph ! You could do 50mph less than that in a Clio, imagine what it would be like !

ha ha ! Cheers Mike ! That is good news, how much is it now then ?

Are you kidding me ???????? Foooooking hell that is one of the worst things I have ever seen ! Are they the people from the car or people they hit or something ?

Any news ? I feel like I have been away for ages !

With regard to gear ratios, didnt I see someone post that the MKII 172 gear ratios were closer to compensate for the extra weight to match performance ?

Cheese, I know yours mate, saw you yesterday, but you already knew that too ! PBS, I think I might have seen yours too, not sure. There is a spanish silver MKI 172 going around Swansea too, see that all the time. Not seen many MKIIs apart from these I saw the other day, I dont think...

OK Craggy, it is not a competitive race in terms of I dont care if I lose because I know it will be down to me or because the car is stiff, I want to see what my car is capable of, that is all. You could say it is a race but not a competitive one. You know what I mean ! A full 3+ seconds...

He is a mate of mine, younger than me (21) but he does like his cars. It is a nice looking Pug actually and I know my car is still tight because it has only done 750 miles so it should be close I reckon, I am still getting used to the 172 in everyway but I am very interested to see the two line...

I have a mate who has a 106 GTi on a S Plate with PiperX and full Magnex exhaust, thinking about having a side by side dash along a bypass to see how quick my 172 is against another hot hatch, should the 172 come out on top ? If so, by how much ? It is not a race I just want to compare the...

Congrats on the new car ! Just reached 650 miles in mine recently and it is a different car now ! Awesome ! Few annoying little rattles but no big deal ! As for the manual, depending on where you got the car from, I contacted the import agents and they forwarded an English manual to me...

If you own a 172 and live in Swansea, was it you that I have seen driving around ? I have seen a Silver and Blue MKII 172 driving around by Sketty and Mumbles and I also saw another Silver MKII on Loughor Bridge yesterday ! I drove past in the opposite direction, anybody on here ?
