Cheers Mike ! Sounds like I am going to HAVE to make the next meet, will be great to actually put faces with all these names on the boards. I have got to give it a try and as long as my car is not going to get damaged then that is all I care about !

I really wanted a black 172 after having a black Clio before and now that I have it I am very happy. All of the 172 colours look stunning mind you and if I was to pick out a colour out of a hat then I would have been happy with whatever colour came out (as long as it was black ! Naaaaaa, just...

That is good advice, makes me feel easier about going on track now. I really want to do a track day and before I bought the 172 it was my aim to do so, must be hell of an adrenaline rush to be able to go as fast as you think you can handle. Sounds like it is very well organised so it makes for...

This all sounds great, I would even come along to watch but I know I would just want to get on the track then !

I am not too worried about hitting someone because I have been on a Ferrari track day in Silverstone before, not that it would be the same thing really, but it gives you an understanding about track etiquette. My first track day I would take easy if you like at my own pace, almost as tho you...

I know a lot of you went on a recent track day in France and also at Palmersport and I was wondering if you had any damage to your car afterwards such as stone chips, etc. ? I want to take my car on the track in time but I wanted to know what to expect.

I decided to run it in for 650 miles and then give it a little bit of stick. Not changed the oil yet but may do that at around 1,000-1,500 miles. I never boot it when it is cold, let it warm up for a good 10-15 mins first. I dont think I could have made it to 1,000 miles keeping it under...

CJ, purple 172 ? R u sure ? As for having a different colour to standard Clios, I reckon they look a lot different anyway and also, that 2ltr lump under the bonnet is all I need to be different to be honest !

NICE !

JJ, where would it be as I would have to travel from Swansea, could be interested if it is not too far and depending on dates obviously.

Jeeeeeeeeezus Cap, I really wish I know what you were talking about, I really do, seriously ! Sounds like a very interesting project and if it comes off then the car should be mental ! What sort of performance difference do you expect in terms of time ? I understand that much !

I might aswell ask the question before someone else does, IMPORT or UK car ? Not sure on price, seeing as you can get an import for £12,000 max I should imagine it will be worth between £10-£10,750 ?

I have been too busy driving it to take off the stickers but I will do this 2nite I think, I dont like window stickers but the boot badges are very nice I think !

Confusion Galore !

I think there was a typo on Bens original post, I assume he meant 285 and NOT 185 bhp as this is what he has written in the spec post ?

How can I get the garage sticker off the back window without leaving sh*te all over the window ? Tried to get it off and it does not seems to want to come, anything I can get to help ? Also, got a small piece of backing tape on my rear view too, doing my head in now, any ideas ?
