it's a bit sad to see people giving up on valvers lately, all cars will get to the point of being money pits due to age. I've stuck with mine and it's a minter now:D If I could afford it I'd like a 172 as my borin everyday car and the valver as a toy lol @ lisa, now I understand a bit more...

Same here, can only get on here & WC while I'm at work. What's Gav done?:S PITT manouvre FTW:rasp: french tin Vs. T5 tank, hmmmmm I think it would be the automotive equivalent to gang rape lol! Joking aside, prats like that learn the hard way, most of em end up dead:nono:

me & my m8 could have a go he's got an ex-police T5, hasn't polished the bonnet so you can still see POLICE where the stickers used to be.........might sh*t him up a bit and calm down nice to see a fellow C16v member on here :approve:

Recently had a full respray done on my valver :cool: . I know not to polish it for at least a month. What I want to know is, how I should go about giving the car its 1st polish? What sort of product/technique would you recommend? Any advice on looking after brand new paintwork would be...

Another good source of information is www.williamsclio.co.uk , do your homework and look at a few to get a better feel for them. The only reason most people say they're unreliable seem to forget they're older cars, and things wear out so the thing are gonna cost money, so will the 182's 197's...

His vee sits proudly on my driveway now :cool: I just wish it was mine:cry:

I would go for it m8, as said if its documented as well all the better, I'd find that sort of honesty encouraging when buying a car :approve: My housemate is buyin your vee :cool: our driveway is gonna look mad:rasp: will look sweet next to my valver (which is absolutely immaculate...

My local stealers wanted £150+VAT for a new key for my valver:eek:

should've raced him, don't matter how much power he's got if he can't slow down proper Just outbrake the tool and watch him have a 1.8 16v turbo off roader :evil:

You should be ok, if the police etc do a check it will come up as showing a valid mot until the date it runs out. But be careful as there can still be things wrong with the car that can incur penalty points & fines dodgy tyres/brakes or even no water in the washer bottle if the weather is dodgy

150 piece socket set, they're on offer £99 instead of £170 iirc, bout the best investment from halfrauds

I love my car as well :D It's always really satifying to give your motor a good thrashin especially when its something capable and rewarding. My valver probably isn't as fast or as capable as a 17poo but by christ it's rewarding and soooo much fun :rasp: Gotta love lifting off on...

The 1 & 2's are both 449 sports blue and the 3 is 432 monaco blue :approve:

OMFG!!! This thread is awesome! FAF! I can't think of a better way to kill 3 hours at work reading it post by post:approve:

Tis a valver ;)

As above, gold will look crap Black, anthracite or good old fashioned silver FTW :cool:

:lolup: +1

2nd all the time ;) Makes it more interesting after lifting off, keep the back end out a little longer with less opposite lock and then bring it back in line with the loud pedal:rasp: I can do the theory ok, but the practical aint my strongest point :o lol!

The fact it was in Birmingham would have started alrm bells ringing :S

Stay away from the vauxshite!!:nono: Unless is got a vxr badge on it
