Its not a shift light. Its a 'your about to go crashing into the limiter light', it is by no means the best point to change.

Just because he doesn't like your plate!

lol how did I know this was going to turn into battyboy.net!

IIRC they are FK's Steve from Russ@Gasperformance

Does inferno really offend you that much!

Lol touched a nerve!

Button it timmay, have you seen your wipers :rasp:

French surrounds are impossible to get, i ve got the ABT surrounds on mine, only on the back though, im going off them tbh. Car looks good.

Quite a few cars then for your age, i assume you mean original minis rather than the BMW ones.

I think that photo has been shown more times than Jordan's knockers. What did you drive before the 182's Paul?

Very nice always liked ultra, I agree though it does probably belong to a women look how far forward the drivers recaro is! Its a wonder these women don't get chin rash from the top of the steering wheel!

Hammerite at the ready Pauline this is my idea of a back box! http://www.ferraricluboflasvegas.com/cars/Ski_Lukowski_Testarossa.jpg

Checkout the position of her hand, obviously needed something to hold onto. http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g120/182clio/New4.jpg And this one I think she's either seen the Inferno in the door mirror or Paul's mats so he has had to pull over so that she can vomit...

Very tidy car this, I like what you've done with it, good to see the OZ wheels to rather than turinis.

Cat C write off too! f**k that its a mini!

+1, take it back to powerflow they will sort it out for you.

I haven't driven a 1*2 for some time so I can't remember the peak time to change, if its anything like my car it goes supersonic at 5k and hits the limiter at circa 7k, if im going for it I usually let it rev to about 6.5k so get ready around 6k. Soon as it hits that sweet spot, dip the clutch...

Average based on the usual 12k/ year however theres lots of low mileage ones out there.

All CTRS's are 197 im not sure if its PS or HP. Its probably easier to change gear faster in the CTR as the gear box is much nicer.

Mileage is abit on the high side, I'd give him £6k for it lol.

I wouldn't have put the Audi in the same camp to be honest, entirely different type of car. I would be tempted by a few of these 197's on the market at around the £10k mark used, although I hate depreciation with a passion so i would probably end up trying to find a mint 182 in a desirable...

I haven't been on here as long as some but I think he's had 3/4 silver ph1's in my time lol.

It will no doubt be in the autotrader before the paint has dryed!

This the ph1? Is it staying silver?

Some mint birds!

Im sure it is a great car but I don't give a s**t about all the toys. Im just interested in a pure driving experience, I would much rather pay less and have none of that rubbish or pay the same and have them spend the money on getting more power out the engine.

I think the point we are getting at here is there are two very different markets. As aforementioned there is the young professionals money to burn playstation generation who know nothing about cars but like the idea of a hot hatch, obviously they expect all that tat as standard etc. Then you...

Correct me if im wrong but it has lost 20kg, most of which was down to the removal of air con, which is an option anway that most people will add straight back on. Driver aids are good as long as they don't interfere all the time and ruin the experience although like you say its set quite high...

I accept that, the 197 FF does that all very well and is very good. The 197 Cup on the other hand in my eyes was a missed opportunity. Its not a bad car but it could of been so much better. They could of made a modern take on the original hot hatch, strip of weight and driver aids, all it...

As long as your happy with it, I agree safety is something that modern day buyers want however I don't think any of the cars you listed are a modern day interpretation of a 205 GTI and whilst all are great fun they contain less and less of the true essence of a hot hatch with every evolution...
