it looks like its going to be a 172 cup then - I took out a 197 but couldn't justify spending that amount on a car which sits outside the house all week while i'm working in london. The above pics are awesome. I have had years of fun driving the 106 and I need something thats going to keep me...
Hello all
I have at present have a 106gti which i'm going to get rid of and on saturday i'm hoping to take out a 172 cup. Can you inform me of things I need to look at and am I making a good decision in buying one
cheers
I drive a GTi and I wouldn't exactly say I get left for dead by cups, I raced one at pod a few months back and got beaten by a few hundreds of a second (didn't help me not paying attention to the lights). I'm going to pod on sunday so if anyone fancies a race i'll be there :)
I just can't decide what car i want, the more I think of the S3 the more i like the idea of it, it has all the toys in it and 6 speed gear box etc etc, but then I keep thinking of the 182 and thinking how nice it is to drive and that kick I got at 5k. On another note I saw a dark blue (don't...
really thats interesting, if I have to choose I think i'm going 182 need to drive the S3 but i don't think it'll excite like the 182 could be wrong though. Loved how smooth it felt and the exhaust note was quite naughty :)
you say that but my friend and me spoke about this and my 106 wouldn't be far behind to 60 if anything in it at all, but it just felt so nice to drive loved it. Not sure if the salesman loved me going for it on a nice b-road ;). The 106 feels more raw if anything, both good cars though. Going to...
Went to the renault garage near where I live today to look at a blue x demo 182, its done 5000 miles. I have to say i loved driving it, gave it some along some dual carriageway and it definitely put a smile on my face like my 106 does. Loved the ride and interior, was firm but comfy. So it looks...
Well said mate, obviously 106's are never going to go down well on a clio site, i'm gutted about having to sell my GTI as idiots keep breaking into it, they are great fun cars to drive like 172's,182's, 16v's etc etc
cheers mate for the welcome,
yeah it looks like the Mk2 may be the way to go, just been looking at danny's Mk2 for sale looks really nice. Always wanted one for a while now, the final straw was waking up bank holiday monday with the 106's window put through and the immobiliser wire cut - wan**rs.
I at present drive a 106 gti but my car has been broken into 3 times now within a year so I think its time to move on, so I'm keeping my eye out for a black 172. Going to miss my 106. I hate idiots who break into cars I hope they rot in hell - rant over.
What i can't decide on is do I get the...
Saw it drive by me yesterday, sitting outside a pub. My g/f told me off cause I spend more time looking at cars than her woops;) Then saw a nice blue MK2 172 at the swanley junction M25, I was in my dads 1.4 rt as mine is being fixed
I know mate, I went to look at one the other day, since the 172 came out i wanted one of them, now the 182 is out I really really want one. My mates say why dont you buy a CTR but I prefer the clio looks and equipment.
