i agree, there is no way its grp 12 mate,
god knows why they reckon that- a valver is grp 12 !!
a mk4 1.25zetec (75bhp) is only grp 5, as my brother has one.
a zetec s (they only came in 1.6) is grp 8 and they are 103bhp.
the hightest grp is the rs1800 & fiesta rs turbo, they are grp 15/16.
i knew that admiral and elephant were the same, so i tried both sites to see if they differed, they didnt,
i went on confused and they quoted me £50.00 more, god knows why,
i reckon it must have been their commission, as they r supposed to search out admiral, so really they should have been...
id check that they have the details from your reg correct (if u did it that way)
as my mate got a good quote on his s2000, but when he checked they quoted him an an accord !!
that was with confused.com
he he, i reckon my dad is, hes got a mk2 flame red 172, and hes....
57 !!
and he loves it, he is actually pretty sh*t hot at driving too, and he certainly scares me sometimes the way he throws it around !!
i have got him a sticker as well, put he hasnt put it in yet.
to be honest at 18, unless you drive sensibly, you would probably end up crashing it, a fast car and lack of experience - its more than likely you would ruin it.
i dont blame you mate for being so p*ssed off !
ive been there before, some people are cnuts !
some ither do it on purpose, or like most cant be bothered to walk past it at a safe distance, hence their zip (or whatever) scratches it.
i have a lot of respect for them too,
my car has been there twice now, the 1st time for a new clutch & a service.
then it was there the other week for a new engine, as my one fcked up the other month,
all in all they are good lads, and really know what they are on about.
to be honest i wouldnt offer them any thing for it !
i would walk away & find one else where.
a dude i know has just bought a 53 plate pre reg cup, with no miles on for 10.5k
that was 2 weeks ago, plus there are still pre reg cups for sale.
i spent 2 months lookking for a standard 16v, and when i found a good un, it had the leather in it too.
dont give up on it, as the good one may be just around the corner
also although you want a willaims now, be aware that there are some rights dogs of them out there too.
i got my valver back on friday night, iafter the enging died about 6 weeks ago,
i went for a drive yesterday afternoon to check all is ok,
when this old twa*t in a corsa decided to cut me up on a dual carriage way ! he basically decided to pull right out in front of me by cutting the lane...
ive seen one silver one, once on the A127 i dont remember whose it was though.
i normally see about 4 a week (they are prob the same car) LOL!!
i notice them cos if the colour, as it stands out a lot, plus a dude i know just got one.
i reckon colour coding personally, and light (slight) tints,
that is a well mint car,and ony sublte things would look cool.
one other thing why is the ariel so long ? mines an ph2 valver & my ariel is a lot shorter.
