Me me me i want it!!
When mine gets written off, ill be on the lookout for a flame red one, with CASH :)
Keep me imformed! Would prefer it with the new box in too!
I moved from a VTR, which alot of people do until they get abit older and wiser
Im 22 and earn £20k a year AND im a technician, and mine still cost me a fair few £ a month, even with no labour costs! Expensive fuel, and 35mpg over long runs, plus ive 4 yrs no claims and driving for 5, and i...
Nearly a yr lol, i only had her since November!
Ive been looking at options, maybe an Audi A3 1.8T, but its honestly looking like another 172, maybe a red one :D
Any other options?
Had back xray this aft, stiff and the usual
Anyone put an estimate on payout? Its a 51 plate, was mint as id just polished it lol, but had 101k on it!
Value?
Yeah she said that to the police!
Just had her insurance on the phone, shes admitted it, im claiming off her with no cost to me, im having a health assesment this week because ive had an xray on my back to check the bone at the top of my neck, and im getting a like for like courtesy car...
Write off yeah?
Shes admitted liability, says she didnt see me cos she had her sunglasses on lol, and i can honestly say i wasnt speeding!
One thing that did make me laugh though is that we drove past two hot girls and gave them a toot as you do, then 5 secs down the rd this happens, and...
Woman went straight across my path, then hit me again which luckily pushed me round and away from a fast approaching lamp post!!
Roof's kinked, and both front wheels are mashed up again the body, wouldn't move! Just spent a week getting subframe sorted!!!!!
Gutted yeah!!!
I work for Ford, and when uber fit girls bring their StreetKas in, their mobile numbers are on the jobsheet!
More than once ive been tempted to give them a text, but im sure there are laws against that!
Yea new reg do, they send you a letter in the post, i bought one in August 06 for £250, and new reg now value it at £350?
BUT
They only sell it for you, they dont buy it off you so only when someones buys it off the site, do you get the money!
When people spray the side badges (2.0, 1.2, 1.4 etc) how do they keep the engine size silver lol
Ive seen loads done in different colours, but the 2.0 bit is always still silver? Do you go over it with a silver touch up pen?
Chars!
Just a note, the cheap LEDs eventually start flashing lol, ive had two sets from there and they both stopped working after about a month each
Ive now got Halfords ones in and they've lasted 2 months so far, white LEDs, look cool with the xenons
What?
I fitted a 1.2 subframe to it with the 1.2 lower arms and arb, and it was toeing in 10, i ran out of thread! The arms were shorter than the 2.0 ones, hence it was pulling the wheel in
I swapped them with the origional 2.0 ones, and it was fine
Ive rang Renault, and they say tuesday...
I tried it with 1.2 wishbones, but they're shorter so it wasnt right?
The arb i got one the subframe is a different fitment to the RS one, so wouldn't fit the RS arms
After a week off the rd with a bent subframe, then problems with wrong arms etc shes home....
Minus the antiroll bar!
Found 172 lower arms are like rocking horse s**t, so have had to put the slightly bent one back on until i get one, so the arb wont go on
Looks a riiiiiiiiight b*****d to...
I need something that'll warn me of fixed speed cameras well in advance, and also of radar guns in advance, before they get me!
6 points in 3 months is starting to worry me, both were by cops hiding down streets with a radar :mad:
I have slowed down aswell, but i just want that extra...
The subframe dilemma continues!
Bumped my 172 and bent the subframe, so after two weeks, managed to get a 1.2 one, complete with arms and antiroll bar which is good because one of my arms is bent... Some of you will know whats coming!
So, i start it saturday, and then get stuck because of...
