Where are you based Hawkins?

Sadly just for a few days, Riz has gone abroad and left me in charge. Ridiculous car, I went to fill up, and people just start talking to you about the car.

Having just spent bloody ages selling a 172, take it. The used market is dead at the moment.

Pretty sure the Bilstein's are a bit harsh for road use. Trophy's a road car, not a track car, suspension set up is awesome, carries serious speed but doesn't get upset by a poor road surface.

Recaro's, air con, cruise control. Really poverty spec:rasp:.

No the cups lighter, and 182's aren't any quicker than 172's (in my experience)

Cup slightly quicker in a straight line, Trophy can carry more speed in the corners.

f**king do it! R27 in nimbus looks amazing, yet I don't like it on the 197 because of the brighter wheels.

Trust me, as Rich has said, the 0-60's are underquoted. My rallye kept with Riz's 182 all day long, and he doesn't hang about.

167bhp, not sure on 0-60.

IIRC all current and recent bmw m-power engines have ITB's.

Try and get hold of Fred/Yozza. Tried WD40??

Average;)

6speed box versus 5speed in the VTS. Makes a big difference. The lift off oversteer is fantastic, in the 182's they snap, but the 306's just gently drift. Honestly, it was more fun than the Trophy. Can't carry the same speed (not much can!) but huge fun.

Yeah bud, it'll still be used on road a couple of times a week, but most of my commuting is by train now. Decided def getting coilovers, brakes (brembo/ds2500's), seats (cobra daytona's), exhaust (yozza), and 2 sets of wheels (on with toyo r888's). Undecided if getting a respray (90%sure I...

Drive one Ali. My rallye stayed with Riz's 182 easily, and was more 'fun' than the Trophy. Not as capable, but not much beats drifting off an island at speed. Steering is fantastic, engine sounds great, just so much fun.

Not sure which to go for. Everyone raves about the H&R's, but I'm after something that gives a similar feel to the Trophy (great wheel control, very sharp turn in), can the H&R's be set up in that way?

GTI6, awesome. I miss my Rallye. It was a rattly bugger, but more fun than anything I've ever driven. Supercharging is relatively cheap too.

Anywhere else? Don't like using ebay.

Where's the cheapest play to buy films?

Still ma boy Alan, still ma boy.

Leave the Scot bashing to people with experience. Don't be too harsh on Alan, his electricity ration will run out soon.

Leave the centre cap/cover off, looks far nicer.

As standard (ie 225 TT) the Vee is slightly quicker, I'd imagine the TT sport is slightly quicker. Not driven a sport, TT's are nice cars, just not my thing (standard). A stripped, caged TT on coilovers would be great IMO.

Yeah, was the first Audi with DSG available IIRC. The 225 is actually quicker, due to the weight.

Thats not a 3.2. The TT sport, had an uprated 1.8turbo with 240bhp, they never made the TT sport with the V6. Faster than the V6 TT, as it's a fair wack lighter. People who tend to suggest cars like this versus a Vee, have usually never driven a Vee. It's a very special car, it's unique and the...

Didn't realise he would be that cheap, I'll give him a bell tomorrow Rich.

In the current climate, sticking a wad of cash into something expensive that's only going to lose cash is silly. I'm selling my cars to get a cheap 172.

Anyone know of anyone decent? Either Birmingham way or Worcester?
