Think I'd rather save up for an RMA track day there.

Wish I could get over, looks awesome. One thing thats bothered me recently, is it worth it? I read about a lot of people going and only getting a few laps in, is it worth it given the hassle getting over there? Can you only do 1 lap at a time?

Suppose it depends on useage. I'd say for purely road useage -Vmaxx coilovers 450ish set-up -Uprated brakes 200ish -Advanced driver training

Adjusting the throttle stop made no difference to mine, the throttle will still stick at the same point.

They do sound epic, much better than the f430 IMO.

I'm rofl, hard right about now. Kit-kat for predictive powers? Guess who's car ;)

Centre badges need sorting on the wheels.

Cracking cars, good to drive, quick, well built. They are common for a reason.

Better to drive, but only slightly. £1k on a 172? 4-5 track days. There's nothing else you'll do that will bring more enjoyment from the car.

Some great roads near Cheltenham. Lucky escape!

Indeed. Elderly, diabetic, old ladies with Glaucoma have an excellent safety record behind the wheel.

I'd insure it in an elderley relatives name, and have the annual mileage as 1k.

I'm lol'ing so hard!

You might not think they would refuse but they would be perfectly within their rights not too. As it was described to me, ignorance is not a valid excuse. Its your responsibility to ensure the details are correct, not theirs.

Insurance works on declaration of truth. When you sign the paperwork they'll send you are confirming the details. Wrong car, they could quite easily refuse a pay-out.

Cruise maintains your speed even if you don't touch the throttle. Speed limiter you still have to apply throttle, but it stops you going above a set speed.

Yep.

One direction is cruise, one is speed limiter.

FFS, doesn't sound good! I'll look after the 182 ;).

Any news on the speeding issue?

If that's the choice, keep it in fella. Won't do any harm, and you'll only need to use it once (or get stuck without it) to appreciate it.

Just do similar to my bodge spring fix. It works, it's cheap, can't see the -ve tbh.

OT, but did you get the brake lines sorted?

Does cruise still work?

Plus, if you never remove the spare James, you'll never notice any weight difference (not that I think you would anyway).

I always run a spare. Not fun if you get a flat miles from home at night and end up waiting an hour plus for an RAC van. Just get a space saver, will do the job.

Good for you fella, I don't get people that lock cars away and don't use them.

All just cars at the end of the day. It's insured (TPFT;), so whats the worst that could happen?

Wouldn't put me off at all. There's dozens of old Porka's that I want to own, none of which have airbags. Does make you a bit more cautious though!

Sorry to ask a dense question, but did it fall off from the vehicle directly in front? Just wondering why you didn't have time to slow/avoid?
