I think the 172 had a private reg starting A20 and the 182 - not sure on as it was on the other side of the carriageway. Anyone here? Just after 1pm this afternoon.... D.

Probably not quite up to Brazos and R-Jays standard, but I gave the wifes car a decent wash today...... after mine, of course! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/DSCN1639.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/DSCN1640.jpg...

Noticed it when I refilled the washer bottle today. Leeshez - I had to hijack one of your piccies m8 - hope you dont mind! :oops: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/Doofer.jpg That black curved casing (what exactly is it?) has a bracket running up to that silver screw & washer...

One thing Ive never been able to work out (in my small, fragile mind) is why turbo cars get a significant shot of power with relatively little boost pressure? My Punto GT only registered 1.4bar on the dash, which was about as accurate as unaccurate things can get. In fact, the last turbo car I...

Spotted at least five 172s & 182s in and around Worthing at the weekend... Anyone here? Let onto a black gold 182 driver at the M40 (Junc 8) services as well - you waved back... D.

Id forgot about these until I heard one again yesterday. What is it with the Corsa owners who add the Scooby-sounding exhaust? Checklist for Corsa owners... Your car does not have a flat-4 engine In all likeliness, your Corsa will not have a turbo People may look (thinking its a Scooby)...

02 plate, dark blue 172 - approx 6pm this evening. Went the opposite direction to me - caught a glimpse of a red cold air intake (?). Only saw it at the last minute and didnt let on as the van in front was being a gernobshaft and I was keeping my eyes on him! D.

Chris & Nics Cup has made a welcome return - avec no dirt! ;) Glad to see that its back - I was beginning to wonder were it had got to! D.

I think Ive only seen one in the past 6 months? Either that, or Im in the wrong place, at the wrong time? ;) There must be a few around Bury/Rochdale/Blackburn area??? D.

The black 225 up front couldnt have been trying this morning, joining the M66. Apart from the initial turbo uptake, we kept the same distance apart... I thought a 225 would have trounced a 182??? D.

Parked on The Observatory pub car-park, near the hospital. Anything more than 1kg in the boot, must ram those rear tyres into the arches?! D.

Pointless trivia really, but how much were Willys brand new? How did they compare in price to other similar cars (if there ever were such things then?) Cheers, D.

At the Rawtenstall turnoff, M66. It was parked right outside the front door tonight. No CS stickers that I could see - had a bit of rust over the drivers side rear arch (not that I looked at it too much!) L-plater.... D.

... going past Blackburn Hospital on Haslingden Road. Flashed him, but got no response. :cry: They look strangely beefier than normal 182s. Looked very good. D.

About 8am this morning. Looked nice, clean and standard too. :D Didnt spot any CS stickers as it went past, but its worth a shot... D.

I dont know if the warm weather is making it worse, but in the past few days Ive heard a really loud creaking noise when the steering is on full lock. I notice it most turning into our lane, which is a tight left-hand turn - definite 1st gear job. Time to do a forum search methinks...

Spotted on the opposite side of the M61 - roughly around junc. 7 heading Bolton way. We were coming up the M61, back up towards the M65. Would have been around 4.45pm.... D.

Approx 5pm. At the lights where you can turn into Mercedes & Rapid Fit. I was stuck in traffic on the other side in a 320 Beemer. Couldnt see any CS stickers when I was rubber-necking though (nearly went into the arse-end of the truck in front whilst looking! :oops:) D.

Not sure of model/spec. Had a high-mounted spoiler on the arse-end and sounded quite loud... D.

Im lazy - I know and cant be bothered reading the manual, but...... Whats that little button thing for underneath the passenger-side wing mirror. I only noticed it this weekend while washing it. The drivers mirror hasnt got one? D.

Parked on Sett End Road West, Blackburn, just now. Had a large CS sticker in the rear window. Anyone here? D.

Went past you on the M65 - I think you pulled off at Junction 4, eastbound. Didnt get a proper look at it as the Beemer I was driving at the time was tramlining like buggery. Felt a little dangerous to be honest. :o Would have been about 2.50pm this afternoon..... D.

Just been to Asda now and as per usual, Ive parked in some distant corner to avoid the muppets with the trolleys. Got back to my car, fired it up and was just putting the seatbelt on when a new-shape Micra pulled up alongside my door. Two blokes were in it and the driver asked if I spoke...

We picked up my wifes 182 on Saturday and as we set off, the doors automatically locked. I thought this was a new feature of the 05 plate cars until I was told how to do it on mine. Set the auto lock today and it works fine. Quite chuffed in a bizarre way :confused:. Just shows you that it...

Well, in a matter of hours today, the wife has bagged-off her :@ demonic :@ Mini Cooper S and a racing blue 182 is ready for her to pick up 9.30am on Saturday..... Maybe Ill be able to splice the two together and get a 4.0litre Clio 364! D.

Driving back from Tescos just now, I thought I caught glimpse of some spinners on a car. I slowed down and as I approached this junction, some bloke who looked like a cross between Pete Waterman and Les Battersby was behind the wheel of a red Corolla. Not just any red Corolla mind, this one...

Went the opposite way from me near Tescos in Blackburn on Friday. I wish Id learnt to drive in one of those instead of a H-plate Nova. ;) Note to all 172 modders. Billboards on the roof dont look good.... D.

Spotted a Cup near the lights at Heap Bridge, Bury. Just passing a drain-cleaning truck that was blocking the traffic. Plate ended in KVD, iirc. Was it you? D.

Who was it that asked if I went onto the forum outside my house on Saturday afternoon? You drove a Meggy 225 but never said what your forum name was? Cheers, D.

Probably posted before, but theres some funny ones...... http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/VW.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/THINK.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/SKODA.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v601/Unzen74/SCOOTER.jpg...
