Ok ok, i have decided, i am going to get a 172 :D Buying new and paying so much insurance is stupid when i can have the same amount of fun in a £4K 172 i can insure for much much less.

Haha, its stupid insurance costs which is why i wondered if they'd do it for free :D If its a recession they should. Erm, 172 insurance is half the price, probably a more sensible option, i just want to be back in a clio. Oh, and the C2's a 1.6 ;)

Do i qualify? I had a 1.2, bought the C2 because the 1.2 was ready to blow up. I will go back to a clio someday, i'd love a 200 but reality says 172 first. I will probably be in one before the end of the year. Ask any of my mates and they all say i'll own a vee eventually :D

Ooooh, thats interesting to know, that could of caught me out. And for those thinking £3K is a lot, my friend paid £2250 on a corsa 1.2! I could get it lower if flux were open to talk to, they said to ring them when i'm ready to commit and they will talk to the insurers, explain i have been...

Can't harm going in and having a chat, I am getting excited already but my head says to get a 172 to tide me over. I need something quicker because the C2 just isn't enough for the track and i now have 12 points to play with :D As for colours, i would love LY but not for that price so would...

What sort of deals have people been getting on these. If i am willing to pay list is there a chance of free insurance for a year and 0% finance with a large deposit? Insurance, i could get for about £3K fully comp because of my age but i guess with delivery times i'll be 20 so will be a...

Thanks for the comments. Any better?

Not really got anything to photograph, and i'm still a noob to all this but heres my effort for today. C&C welcome Mike

When in rome..........

What baffles me about the gt is that it has 18 more bhp than my c2, and it has a 6 gear box yet is pretty much the same speed. It does weigh a bit more but not that much. Also why is it group 7 when mine is group 6. The difference between 6 and 7 seems the biggest jump for me when doing dummy...

Does anyone know the front strut space size on a mk1 ph3? My mate is looking at some apex springs for his but it says it is only compatible with 52mm front strut space? Any help appreciated Thanks Mike

£3100, not bad considering i paid £3500 for it 3 months ago, but then again what car says its worth £3900 private!

Spotted in brighouse by subway (i was in a red c2 in front) Only thought they might be from here because it had colour coded bumper strips all round. 52 reg, with blue sidelights and fogs on (tut tut)

Go for something different, ive got this basically its a pentax, gets top reviews and is a bargain at that price. Also you can buy used pentax lenses which fit. Lots of people wont like the idea but it is a seriously good piece of kit, my uncle uses the same model and his pictures are simply...

This thread is very good for learning some of the basics!

About 3pm i think, it was an 05 reg, ended VPN i think but not too sure. It had some stickers on it, might have been a CS on the side but couldn't clearly see. Turned down into an industrial estate but was playing with cars until then. Anyway, it looked very nice, and flew past me but...

Looks really interesting, never been anywhere abandoned before!

Better than putting too much power in for the chassis to handle, aka corsa vxr style.

November :( Hopefully chris knott will still be competitive then, my mum just got a great quote through them after having an accident last year.

Got lots of ideas :) , but my inusrance have just yesterday declined to insure me for an induction and red dot re-map, so cant get that until renewal :(

Nice car ;)

End today!

lol Everyone puts xx000 miles from new, as opposed to what, xx000 miles since my birthday? They do it with owners too, 3 owners from new, glad you clarified that, i thought it was 3 owners from the 2nd owner.
