Monk, is your brother the lad with the yellow megane who was very excited about putting it on the rollers at RE in Bury last summer?

I wish! If I could I would, but I cant..... :cry: Even if I sold the Willy and put that money and Ls 172 money together we wouldnt even be close. Then theres the £13000 a year insurance!

Will probably hang onto the Williams for a bit now that Ellen is after a 172. Two 172s would just be silly......or would it :devilish:?

Paddy, I think i want a MK1 now!!!!

Holy crap! Well impressed. With me, Ellen and the bloke who was selling it in the car, it really really mooooooved! Didnt even go above 5500rpm, but theres a really exciting feeling of coming "on-cam" that I just dont get in the Williams. The clutch and the steering felt...

VivJ - Yes, not bad. £1100. Bad news is that the car had 75000 miles on the clock!!!!!

Just off to look at a MK1 172!!! Not for me :cry:, but for my girlfriend :D. We might be a two Clio family soon (and Ill obviously be able to tan her MK1 172 ass with my Willy :oops:)

Bottom engine mount? Doesnt the engine attach to the gearbox, and when that goes it can pop out of gear? Just remember reading that somewhere on here...

Weve had a quote of £1100 from Direct Line. I think HSBC can feck off!!!

The good news is that legal cover is just an extra £15 :D

22 years old, female, W reg 172, £500 excess. Not totally easy to see, but Ive not doctored this screen print.... http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/file.php?image=1055264008__quote.jpg

Yeah, but it made you look though! Any more, people?

Oh bugger :oops:

Who are you insured with? Finally persuaded my girlfriend that her next car should be a 172. Unfortunately shes only 22, so I fear for the insurance costs. She has 2 years NCB... Cheers, Rhys

2.71s in 2nd gear, also timed on an AP22.

I think you should leave it std. Thatll be £1000 consultation fee please :D

What the feck was that about the "first clio" having a mad rear engined version?! Dont remember that one!!

Carlos, out of interest have you checked yours with GPS too? Im going to go and play with the AP22 in a bit to try and calibrate it properly to the speedo now i know what the speedo is actually reading.

Nope, if youre speedo and GPS read the same, youve probably got an accurate speedo. Remember that my car is 8 years old....needle is a bit shaky below 30mph! Its bound to differ from car to car, but its interesting to see that it it fairly accurate on my car, just consantly out by the same amount.

Just been out to find out how accurate my speedo is once and for all using one of those handhelp GPS systems. I was expecting major inaccuracies and I was expecting it to get progressively more inaccurate the faster I went. I was suprised by the results: Car Speedo GPS 30mph...

What? Seriously? Thats the stats for a Std. Escort Cossie? The 30-70 and 100mph is about the same as the feckin Williams. Are those the stats for the smaller turbod model? :confused:

Hmmm.....zoom in on the pipes and you can see that theres been some playing around going on......shame. Looks good.

And make the blue bits of trim white maybe?

Craggys got a Cliosport sticker in his VTS! I dunno, cheapskate MINI drivers... We can sort something out. Are you going to come along to York at the end of July? Youve gotta run the S. Rhys

yeah, gotta see how the mighty VTS fares against 210bhp!

WTF? Cooper-S boy on the net after 5pm?! Unprecedented!

Is a new EVO out?

Iceberg is the other one. Titanium was first then the later MK1s were in Iceberg.

Down a hill with the wind behind him being towed by an Enzo. Pah, those VTS...... :p
