When I turned up my poor standard 172 looked positively dull compared to a lot of the cars there, not just the modded 172s. The only reason mine got a look in was because it was the only Monaco Blue one there.
That Megane looked okay in my rear view mirror, seemed to be keeping pace okay too...
Mine isnt so bad when starting from cold, but if the weather is a bit on the warm side, or its still warm from a good run it rarely starts first time. But always fires instantly the second turn of the key.
It also runs like a kangaroo for the first 5 or so minutes!!
They will probably kill my poor 56k connection again :( but certainly worth it. :D Nice piccies mate.
I didnt realise that was Bubbles car next to mine. Very nice.
The Blue 172 is mine :D
I couldnt believe how low Freds car is. Just standing in between Freds and Roamers 172 you can really see the difference. The wheels really do suit it too.
A few years ago I wrote off a Rover 200Vi. My insurance company offered me £6k for it, which was a lot better than I would have got selling it or trading it in.
During one call to my insurance company they had let slip that they had set aside £6.5k for me, all I had to do was justify it...

When I had a company car, a Ford Focus, there were times when I couldnt be bothered to put it in the garage. On one of those nights someone came down my drive and ripped the wing mirrors off!!! At least they left my old mans Celica alone. £170.00 each painted and fitted. At least I didnt...
Well.....that makes perfect sense to me :confused:
Im guessing the first one is half way between a Cup and a 172 in terms of specification, and is more a badging/sales exercise.
God knows about the next one. Surely if they were to produce a hotter version it would need more than 180bhp...
Hi,
Just had a little fun on the way home from the cinema as the roads were fairly empty and dry for a change.
When cornering very hard to the left, probably doing around 50 - 60 still in second I had a strange rubbing/vibrating noise from the rear of the car. This has only happened once on...
