we aint had 172 vs scooby for a while! how bout that???

Glad you all ok, as for the subframe etc if you get it repaired yourself id get em to put it on a jig anyway just to make sure.

I was told by a renno dealer i couldnt afford the 172 when i went to get mine! Realy pissed me off! 12 months later i own the 172 an a FRS! Shows wot they know!!

cheers rick, never look in there anymore cos like i say the clio aint bin out for ages!! Yeah i reckon the wider track an weight etc keep RS palnted, just took me by surprise a little bit LOL Loved the Feelin of reachin 4K again! I will be very sad to see her go but i never drive it an its...

if i caught em tryin my car id go f**kin mental! Trouble is id get locked up an theyd get sent on a f**kin holiday

its over exagerated!!! Yeah it ducks an weaves on bumpy roads but most cars will with 225/40/18s on! You have to drive the car it doest drive its self is what i will say! Theres no Electronic gadgets on the car just the mechanical diff!

The RS can dart a bit on rough roads but it always feels planted the clio felt very light front ended in comparison. Was great fun in the corners tho LOL

Not driven it for ages, That long i had to jump it LOL. Gave it a while to warm up then gave it some stick, id forgoten you have to drive it hard to get the most out of it, think ive got lazy driving the RS. Was good to see the old rattles are still there lol. All in all it was bloody good...

the 172/cup/182/182cup/williams thread must be on this forum in 1 guise or another 100 times!

PMSL @ this thread

why do people think these things could ever work???

Amazon have got them at £399 is that a good price? an what are the alternatives? I want summat i can get the boss to but for the van but is transferable to the car easily! Id even pay part of cost if i could move it!

nope <<<<<<<---------

cool

Not arguin lagerlout i know of loads of faults with both makes. im talkin about the narrow mindedness of a few on here! People sl*g a car off before they have experienced it just because its not a CUP!!

well we all know wot FORD stands for but it just gets up my nose how narrow minded some people are! Personally id be thinkin, well if its better than my cup maybe i may have to test drive that an see for myself then i can comment, not drive a cup then decide all other cars are crap before...

Why do cup owners still think the car is unbeatable! Yeah it may be this an that but there is no written law that nobody will be allowed to make a better car!! An the ST may be down on power but ford are bloody good at makin Good driver chassiss. It may not do the 0-60 in the same as a cup but...

isnt it some ex american racer? There was a few threads bout this but cant remember!

i wont bother, they couldnt handle the steering on a proper fwd car!! lol

Think thats the flash mate!

Yeah red or black! you got the interior pics in red Mike??

yeah but very few do! It would cause more accidents if they did. Means more overtaking! The Transport Agency or woteva they are called are regularly falling out with the big fleet managers about this

Ha Ha Mine came 6 weeks late an in the wrong bloody colour! I kid you not! i still have the paperwork ordering a BLUE 172 an it came silver 6 weeks late!
