cheers pal, ill have a look into them,
and to the other post, i did explain id done a search mate, wasnt after sarcasm tbh, if you didnt want to answer the question, why go to the bother of doing all that ?
Sorry for this annoyance people but im after a dslr for around 350-400 pounds.
im far from an expert and just want something i can start with but kkeep and enjoy as my knowlege grows, i would like something with plenty of lenses avliable and something thats quite nice to hold.
sorry for the noob...
now iv caught up with the thread and im not quoting people from the 3rd page, i think the 1*2s have the more character and are well liked for that big engine in a small car feel, but as i said, after seing the white cup today its like perfection on wheels.
ill be buying one in a years time no...
mate the guys just bought a 197 and im sure he doesnt need telling he could have had a 172 for that extra 0.1234 1/4 mile time or whatever.
the fact is i love 172s and 182s, but the 197s just look a cut above,
if you want to talk about power to weight, i have a gti engined 106 rallye pushing...
the guy said check website as they sometimes do better prices on there.
its 6 f*cking k on the net, so someone would have goneand smashed 9k on a car thats worth 6.
anyway, think dads decided they took the piss that much that hes going to go for a trophy private
i know this may be the wrong section but not sure where to put it. just been to carcraft with my dad and had a half hour look round at an 04 plate 172 cup in silver (blue tint to the silver), it was on 38kish and up for ,..... wait for it, 9000POUNDS.
1 owner and i must say it was the...
not realy on rallye register much mate, theyre good for keeping the rallye population going but anyone who does any mod to their rallye is stamped as satan, im mainly on 106owners, great site but its let down by a number of chavs.
this seems like the best site of the lot so far tbh, cant see why...
ah cheers again people
iv had my eye on the racing blue 182 thread, and im being tempted again lol,
think ill get through this summer and maybe mid august get myself one
cheers guppy, i used to have a black s1 rallye with an s2 8v engine, ran a 15.1 in that which wasnt bad for an 8v, going to...
Hi everyone, joined a whileback as i have a massive softspot for renaultsport cars, i do not own one myself, iv had 2 106rallyes and 2 other 106's
my dad is on the lookout for an r27 197
hopefully this year ill also be looking to buy one
at the minute i own a s2106rallye in white, brembro 4pots...
thanks mate good luck with the 197, i dread to think how clean that one will be kept, quick tip for anyone, if steve sells it then buy it.
obsessive detailer mate, im getting the same to be honest. wish i had a house like yours to store a car in over the winter.
will you be putting the clio away...
Thanks matt, the minis hold their value and arent worth what they fetch imo, yeah they are a great car and very reliable but i just think they are a little boring and cant see why anyone wuld chose on over something quicker unless they were a girl or couldnt get insured i.e me. :).. and...
wouldnt bother with a 106 to be honest mate, iv'e had 3 a 1.1 a quicksilver and a phase 1 rallye with lots of mods (too many to list) which ate 106 gti's and pulled a 15.1 at santa pod which i know aint blistering but not bad for an old 106.
iv finally realised it aint just about the speed...
just had another check and this time it came out the same as the 172 on moneysupermarket, looking at the 0-60 times there doesnt seem to be much in it to be worried about unless im splitting hairs, i agree the 182's look a little better so as soon as the mini goes ill be straight off to look at...
Thanks mate, yeah realised it was abit girly and not for me after 1 drive, just wanted to get in the newer car market and out of the old chavy car market, my rallye ran a 15.1 1/4 mile and was a quick car, but to be honest id never have on again.
with all the modcons new cars have they win hands...
Just thought id come on and say hi, i am another ex 106 owner, had a 106rallye, bought an 04 plate mini cooper but it is abit to boring for me and iv always wanted a cliosport :) now im 19 im finally going to get a 172.
i have around 7500 but the insurance is looking like being around 1900 so...
wow is a small world steve, remember me of 106oc, pug51, had a black s1 rallye.
selling my mini and getting a 172 in a week though :), nice to see you on here mate, only realised it was you when you mentioned the plates, with your perfect gti that i loved haha, btw nice taste mate the new 197's...
