Looks awesome!

Lovely. Beautful colour.

I'm sure both would cover ground quicker than a 182, i guess it depends how much you as a driver value being part of the reason for it being quick!

I believe its 175bhp and a similar lbs/ft torque figure, so it probably as quick as a 197 outright, but in everyday driving it will be quicker. I will be running the car on the company, so the fact it's C02 rating is much lower than the Clio's helps me a lot. Again, as an everyday car it is...

In the dash!

Yep... (Cue floodgates of Mini abuse!)

Previous base of the BNP party, nuff said! I'm in Sidcup, my nan lives in Welling though. I go and watch 'The Wings' from time to time too. Otherwise i avoid it like the plague!

You know i love your weak motor. TBH it actually looks better with the Apexs rather than slammed like that.

Personally i think you need to drive it for a day, a normal test drive just isn't enough. On a short drive all you will notice is that it is relatively slow and the steering is very light. Get to know it and you realise the chassis is better than the 182's, by some margin IMO. It also is a...

Had my first scare yesterday, was thrown sideways after one of the rear wheels went over a manhole coverm. Luckily it only happened at about 15mph!

Welling, what do you expect?

5 door Rover, why bother?

Excluding the Bomb Hole, Snetterton makes me fall asleep.

P.S Did you see how quick the JCW cars were compared to the ex-Clio Cup?

I want the Alfa GTA... I was there last year when someone managed to spin on the last corner like the Supra and caused havoc in the pitlane! I still think the new Ferrari looks ugly as sin.

That is a GT Rom NSX, so Japanese. They race them so they're pretty handy behind the wheel.

I had a k-tec, better than shitty Magnex. Sounded better than my 172's k-tec actually.

Been posted on here a couple of times, tbh it's not the worst attempt, but that's not saying much.

This would support Renault's claim that some Cup engines were bench tested. That's what i read anyway!

A few a week (i do about 300 miles a week), i once saw two other silver 172s within about 5 minutes though.

Geek chic! I want one.

Nice, but please lower it.

Does it? That's strange, i have one... i must be retarded.

Interesting, but it keeps the middle silencer so must sound a bit lame.

When i was young and impressionable, i bought the Fast Car issue with that Metro in it. They actually didn't take the piss out of it, it was in the reader's drives section!

Kwik Fit are doing it for £25 until February. http://www.kwik-fit.com/mot-testing-and-servicing.asp

Are the pads standard? They sound like they are glazed, in which case you need heat them up a bit, i.e stamp on them from high speed. If they are new they just need bedding in, which can take a couple of hundred miles.

Kwik Fit do it cheaper than that, or just look on Yell.com.
