    interesting argument. (can of worms)

    my previous car was a good 205 Gti and my current is a good 172.... All I'll say is they are both very good but different. I changed to the 172 because it was my daily driver and I have two kids, I managed 2 years using the 205 as my daily car. The pug has no ABS, no PAS and from my...

    Clio 200 deal

    as far as I'm aware you only pay for the excess mileage if you hand the car back at the end of the full term (i.e 3 or 4 years). If you trade the car in or buy it outright then you don't pay the excess mileage fee. I don't think it adds up to much if you do go over my say 2000 miles a year (well...

    Bought a 172 today- its now on a RAC flatbed

    I hate second hand car trader's with a passion. I'd rather take my chance at finding a good private sale, cheaper and you can usually tell a good car/owner a mile off. As said before don't touch the car, get in touch with trading standards, get your money back and then come see me and buy...

    Re: The car you wish you never sold... What were they? my last of 3 205 Gti's [/URL] [/IMG] sold it far too cheap which make's it worse.. probably going to miss the 172 as much when it goes....

    Trade or Private?

    Private from a long standing forum member, that way you should be sure that they're not going to sell a lemon and get a bed reputation on the forum. I looked at a couple from Traders and they were in poor condition. What you looking for? you could buy mine.;)

    My French Clio 182 "White Pearl"....

    Amazing and very tastefully done, well done to you....:cool: Just don't finish it off with a big roof spoiler and some Lexus rear lights... This may have been asked already but forgive me, is white a standard 182 colour on the continent then?

    didn't you know Merc's don't need servicing, that's why they are so expensive.

    172 Clio Sport

    yep as said you should get a good one for that, but bear in mind there's plenty of rubbish about so be prepared to be disappointed before you buy the right one. I saw five, 2 were on the insurance register, 2 that were at dealers were rubbish and the fifth I bought. I must have spent close on...

    I wanna turbo.

    your not going to get or do a conversion like that on a budget unless your a mechanical genius......I know one and he did a 205 turbo for next to nothing (saying that the 205 parts are simpler/cheaper). it's like the supercharger conversion for a 306 Gti-6, every Gti-6 owner wants it but not...

    Cosworth Day?

    very nice.... I can remember going to the RS owners club national day a few years ago, we walked into the concourse enclosure and you could smell the heavy sent of autoglym in the air...I need an RS in my life.
