144mph Actual (tested with GPS) max of 1mph difference for any inaccuracy in the GPS would give a 143-145mph actual speed, I am sorry but at that speed I didnt feel like looking out my digital camera.
if its a mark II 172 they also have the same fly by wire throttles .. (better not mention that to her eh!) although saying that I have never had a problem with my throttle.
at least he died protecting his own property, and the guy that was just a theif is now up for 1st degree murder.
Ofcourse with the laws in this country he will probably get 37minutes community service for it.
If I was living back in USA I would quite happily put a bullet in the thiefs head...
ye for the amount of stuff that you loose on the cup..
aircon
climate control
half leather/alcantara interior
heat reflective window
Normal glass (cup has thin glass)
ABS
Airbags
etc..
and for what 2-3 tenths of a second to 60 .. no thanks.. (but then the cup is cheaper)
None taken, I didnt actually own it.. it was my parents car and I used it as a run around until I could afford the 172.. funny thing was I sold the micra to my 26 year old mate cause my parents went out and bought a new car (a clio funnily enough)... lol..
I cant believe I missed the opertunity to race a CTR... I was going round a roundabout and the volvo car tries it on so i decide to floor it and leave the volvo for dead (no biggie) but just as I was comming of the roundabout my GF said "oh I thought you would of carried on round and raced that...
Agreed,
I have a full bike license and have never used it for that reason, one of these days I would race a car (im stupid) and hit some dirt or a drain cover or some oil or basically anything that might make you loose traction on a wheel.
Glad to hear it all worked out Ben. I still say you done the right thing giving the guy a beating.
And even after what you said about not doing it next time, I still would.. I work so long and pour all my money into my car that I would do time for the satisfaction of permanently injuring them...
nice cars the 106 GTis
Seriously looked into getting one, but I think it is fair to say the 172 feels nicer is more refined, better build quality, more room, loadsa extras like climate control etc.
The 106 GTi was just too dated for me, the 172 looked much more modern.
I think the reason...
okay I am placing my order this thursday (pay day) for a nice new set of mats.. *chuffed* :D
Thx for all the time that went into making them (and for making sure the back mats were the one peice item)

get a multimeter (few quid) measure the voltage accross the battery, then start the car and if the voltage jumps up to over 13 volts then your alternator is fine.
let it charge for a bit, then turn the engine off, measure the voltage now.. if its way below 12 volts then its probably some...
Quite believe it cause I had a play with a scooby on some twisty B roads.. he was in front but couldnt get away from me.. I had to back off..
Dont know what version it was though cause it was debaged..
Ben, first of all bad luck about the thieving scum... but I would have been exactly the same in your position.. someone would have had to pull me off the guy cause I probably wouldnt stop till its too late..
I hate to admit it but I have a very explosive temper. I almost strangled my mate one...
My GFs brother has a DD conviction, was quite impressed the way the guy took it so seriously and has never driven his car for about 2 years now..
Still drinks a lot, but never drives his car at all anymore
can honestly say that I have never bean betean by a VW anything.. raced almost every mark of GTi and played with a vr6 but I didnt really think it was a big deal so I never even posted on here..
