dmallett's 421'd monaco
Looks like two different colours. It looks good in the first picture but looks to copper coloured in the second.
Ill reserve judgment until all have been done!
£2350
It's expensive at the moment for a 172 but the mileage was silly low with every MOT to back up. Cambelt had been done at a specialist I trust within last 6 months. It needed tax and two tyres but I still think it was a bargain!
It is very very clean, only two scratches and they'll...
Tim, all it came up with when searching LD02 was you asking if it was your old one!
The wheels in silver do look good on Monaco. When its a sunny weekend I'll get them all sprayed up fresh and give them a good refurb.
Did have first problem today also. Wouldn't start. Also the Ph2 won't let...
Funny story actually. Missus had one on her 172 and was pulled because the copper wanted to tell her off about her factory fitted xenons because they were apparently illegal. He then told her her exhaust was too loud and illegal.
He failed to see the only illegal thing which was the plate!
I own both now and drive both on a daily basis so have direct comparison and they are even. Book figures don't mean anything!
The problem with going from one car to another that is so similar is you'll usually see the new one through rose tinted glasses.
I'm a massive Clio fan and they are even. As I said to many different variations that would cause one to get ahead in one drag and the other the next.
They're even.
Just search Clio Sport vs Type R on here, look at the posts from 5 years ago and change the word Type R to VXR and its the same...
It would be even, as one time the Clio would get a better start, the next the Corsa. Too many variables on two cars that are so similar in a straight line.
I've been driving 172's for years now and the fact is they're too similar speed wise in a straight line to even compare.
And you need to...
Side by side with my missus driving the Corsa she managed to keep up. There really is nothing in it.
When hers was rolling roaded at 201 mine was at 231 and I would absolutely annihilate it. Now in this standard one running circa 165 I'd guess there is nothing in it, side by side, measuring...
