Last time I went it was full of idiots driving like tools and people talking of racing around Shipley / Eastwood. I've never been to Netherfield because I've seen the way people drive and I dont want to get caught up in someone elses mistake.
This is mentioned on Saxp all the time. I've been put off by the stories of street racing, police and accidents / general silly driving.
Plus it apparently only gets 'interesting' after 10pm and I'm normally asleep by then :)
I bought my 172 needing a belt change but luckily as I was a member on here I knew the costs. I had the dephaser changed too for peace of mind because as others have said, you do not want to end up replacing it later anyway.
Been a passenger in a 888 version when I was an active member of Asta Owners Club (used to own a MK4 Astra) and it was nice. Completely different car to a 1.8 though.
I had a 1.6 hatch, had it for 2.5 years and it was sold and reliable, nothing ever went wrong or needed replacing other than...
My phase 1 172 cost £1300 but you can get them a bit cheaper.
Probably easier by the time you've swapped brakes etc over on the 1.2, unless you're attached to the 1.2?
I have replaced the blue with a grey dash top from a 1.2. I have also fitted the gear gaitor and steering column surround.
Its not black but looks loads better than the blue and cost me nothing after I sold the blue parts.
I havent had many
360
Gamecube
PS2
PS1
Megadrive
Master System
Thats about it I think. 360 barely gets used and isnt even plugged into a TV at the moment
