Classics are fetching daft money at the moment. A garage near me has just sold one very similar to mine for £3600! Finding one without rust or eBay intercoolers a is the hardest thing I think.

If you've had 7 offers, £3100 being the highest, why makes you think you'll get £3500? (I don't mean to sound rude.) I can't remember the last car I had that didn't sell to the first person to see it. How do you value your time? For the sake of £400 I'd have let it go personally. We're only...

Yeah that gumtree ad doesn't work. I hope he's not paying you to do his advertising because you're pretty s**t at it.

Most likely Lambda if it's running fine.

If they were cheap to run they wouldn't be cheap to buy.

What else is there to worry about? Rust but you just don't buy a rusty one. Gearboxes are good, engines are good, electrics are good... There's f**k all to go wrong with them. Brakes are a bit prices but that's a given really. However.... My mate has just bought a CL600 V12 Bi-Turbo for...

No, did 120k iirc, with full history. We did lemans in it.

I do it because I love you.

E55! I paid £3k for this... Was f**king awesome.

This car is s**t and so are you. X

Die! Lol

It was too good on fuel. They needed to worsen it.

New calipers, new discs and pads, new turbo-back exhaust, new (sti) ecu. Only took about 4 hours to do, not bad! Just took it out and I can confirm it goes like stink. Way too loud though so I'm going to fit another silencer.

Take your baby to the doctors?! Jesus f**king Christ.

No aircon pipes but it's got the climate control dash??

Or it's a normal 172 with a cup spoiler and wheels? Looks good though either way.

BirchdownAuto Services are in Malpas. They don't come on the forum any more but are top blokes with a cracking little garage. You won't find anyone with a bad review of them! Diamond Motors are in Nottingham and @MicKPM the owner is a VERY knowledgeable bloke. He's also a registered trader on...

Only buy a 172/182 with comprehensive service history. Unless you're buying it so cheap that you can break it for spares should it go bang. Cambelt kit is a big expensive job and is due every 5 yrs/72k. And there are only a handful of people I'd trust to do it. Off the top of my head I can...

Edit; just looked at the pics and at a recent track day you and another guy were the talk of the day! They saw your car at a sprint up at Castle Combe. (Unless there's another guy with a classic scoob that's mentally fast with a massive rear wing on it??)

1.8 seconds?! Holy s**t.

Why?? Easiest £1000 profit you'll ever earn.

You can impregnate a woman and grow a full spec human in that time!

I love it. I think you'd like to swap it for a classic Impreza...

I love love love these!! Such a good looking car in an ugly way. Very easy to get power from as well.

So why quote 10 weeks if it isn't possible? And if it isn't possible, why take on more work? You simply cannot defend this level (or lack of) customer service.

Looks like the radiator fan switch/plug/thing.

Same old story with Clio 'specialists' unfortunately. Look back over the years and there have been loads of talented mechanics. Sadly they're f**king useless at running a business and end up letting people down time and time again. Then they disappear. 10+ weeks to do a conversion is taking...

I never liked you...

Generic 'nor do you' post. But I agree. I got an iPhone because I was told they're simple to use. But they're not. iCloud, iTunes, wifi on or off, updates.... It's all nonsense. I want to buy a phone and I want it to work for 2 years. At which point I'll upgrade. Simple. But Apple don't...

You really are dumber than a shoe.
