For that money you can get a really clean williams 1, 2 or 3 As for ph1 172, good car but no more or less reliable than a mk, they're all french heaps of sh1t that will go wrong at some point, you just get on...

    Difference between 1.8 16v and RSI??

    The RSI's have relly nice sideskirts that the valver's don't although I've rectified that problem on mine ;) (thanks diamondgeezer!) Not 100% sure but I think valvers have a wider front and rear track than the RSI as well

    Very Naughty Boy/A Bad Omen!?

    I've got a copy of magistrates guidelines and if u got to court you're lookin at 6 points or disqualification for up to 54 days. You should get offered a fixed penalty of 3 points and £60 as you werent 30mph over the limit, thats when you get a court summons
