Spotted heading towards Milngavie / Balmore on Balmore Rd abou 5.20 tonight, looked good in yellow with the black front end.
I was in the silver 172 passing you just after the narrow bridge.
Spotted a white 197 with the bonnet up and the driver looking a bit narked at Saracen cross today.
I was on the bike passing in the opposite direction.
When my colleagues Mrs broke down there the AA driver got bottles thrown at him, classy place!
For a while now my 172 has had a bit of play somewhere which was noticeable through the steering wheel when low speed maneouvring e.g. pulling out of a parking space.
I had replaced the o/s driveshaft in the hope it'd fix it but it didn't. Since then its had new shocks and springs so they're...

Spotted on Saturday night passing a premier inn near a big Arnold Shark onto a roundabout between the M6 and Stafford.
Think the 172 plate was BEZ and it had white writing on the back window.
Well today my phone failed again. In april 09 I got a new handset, within a month it was faulty so I returned it. I got an alternative handset, within the following 12 months it has been repaired / replaced 4 or 5 times and has now been sent for repair / replacement once again.
On one...
Just spotted a severely gash mk2 ph2 clio black with weird chrome wheels which looked like wheel trims and a grey stripe over the car.
Pumped off the line by a 1.3 fiesta, i think your gash backbox might have robbed about 15bhp.
Terrible!
sorry, no pics :(
Spotted a silver 04 plate 182 at Teknek in Inchinnan today, I was there for an interview and you may have spotted my 172 in the visitors parking.
Anyone on here? If so get me a job ;)
Well I declared my konis and eibachs to be told my premium would be £40 cheaper! result.... lol
Anyone ever had this before? Renewals are generally priced up I suppose so maybe it was just a case of them reviewing the details in general.
It's a year to the day since I bought Ali's 172:
In which time I've done 6000 miles in it, replaced the handbrake cables, fitted koni adjustables and sportlines, had it serviced, alignment setup and I'm about to have new discs and pads fitted all round and some goodridge hoses...
There's a series I want to watch which was on Discovery HD and i've noticed the discovery channel have it on youtube.
I know there's apps for capturing / downloading from youtube but wondered which if any were recommended?
Had a look for torrents but no joy, even tried to buy it on dvd but...
Spotted this morning on the Gallowgate heading towards Parkhead, passed me as I was sat at the lights, we both looked at each other in admiration and I gave you a wee nod.
Mines dirtier than yours
Fitted koni adjustables last night along with some Eibach Sportlines and some new top mounts and bearings.
Getting the tracking done tomorrow as it needs it drastically now.
I have to get some aduster knobs for the shocks still so I can play about with the damping.
Will post my...
I'm about to fit some koni adjustables and eibach sportlines, have ordered myself some strut top washers but want to get some new strut top mounts too, Renault want £75 a side including bearings
There's a guy on ebay selling Febi Bilstein mounts for £66 a pair:
I think the guys postage is...
Somehow some fcuker has put a fairly big dent above my rear passenger window, thankfully the paint isn't broken and there doesn't appear to be any other damage.
The dent is located in the area circled in the attached pic.
I don't have an actual picture, just wondered if its an area that can...
I have finally got my hands on some Koni adjustables, will be fitted to my ph2 172 along with some Eibach Sportlines.
Question is, is any sort of setup required? I hear people talk of alignment and corner weighting etc with 'coilovers'
Is this equally applicable when replacing shocks and...
Red R27 wth private plate and rusty wheel bolts on Duke St heading towards Parkhead, I was beside you at lights on my motorbike turnng right.
172 cup parked outside Iceland on Alexandra Parade
Nimbus 197 / R27 but can't remember where I saw this one lol
Silver 182 M___ ERK or similar plate
I've got the photography bug but can't afford a DSLR at the moment.
Anyone got experience with Bridge cameras? I like the idea of having shutter speeds, ISO settings, mega optical zoom etc to play with.
What model ranges should I look at? I'll be buying 2nd hand off ebay most likely, cheap...
