Well, to be honest, the Williams is affordable.. and Im 20 No NCD.. so you might aswell start building them early.
I got a quote from HIC for 16v in my name, 20 No NCD, TPFT and it was only £760.. which is damn cheap, heh.
They dont come with one standard.. and getting one is a pain.. Took me weeks and about £100 to get a standard rev counter and working in my 1.2 Mk1/Phase3.. heh.
Glad I did tho.. very useful.
83 in 3rd, is, 8mph over the limit.. you could have been lucky... hehe. Limiter on 1.2 DIETs is 5750 and in 3rd, thats bang on 75 (well, it is in my mk1, phase3).

If you could choose between the new willy with 150 bhp and normal headlights like candals and seats like deckchars.....Or you could choose the 182 with xenons,half leather,climate,a.b.s,and ~~~ the trimings and the 182 was over a second faster...

The new one has a screen, which tells you caller id etc.. (mine just says the persons name if its stored with my voice!)...
Thats what weve been trying to say!.. its still regarded as the best hot hatch ever even tho, loads of companies have released hot hatches since then..
Hmm, My car was parked up.. I was walking towards it and this bloke (dunno how old, but was with a few other people) said "Wow, its a Williams.."
It was parked in the middle of 2 other cars.. all he could have seen was a bit of the rear arch, gold wheels and the Williams badge on the back...
Debatable.
I parked up once, and these, pretty grown up men (had family with them etc..) said.. "Wow, theres a Williams!" and had a pretty good look.
I know which car Id rather be getting into.. if a new Clio was parked next to me. Altho, if the new Clio was a V6, then yea.. itd probably...
I wish Id have done the multimedia route.. would have worked out cheaper for me.. and probably still be in the car..
I could have used sunvisor screens etc.. which I couldnt for CarPC and itd, for me, a lot better.
The problem is, the Williams is still regarded as the best hot hatch ever.. no matter what other companies have done since then. Its not about newer, quicker blah blah blah.. its about the car as a whole.
Why is the Williams still "The Ultimate Clio" if the new Clios are so much better, and...
Yea, Elephant are quite goodon the cars they do insure.. Im with them on the Williams (20yo). They wont insure me on an 200sx S14a tho, boooo.. arwell, hehe.
