If it's going to cost you £1K or above to fix it, it may just be worth throwing in the towel and buying another 172,
you can use the dented one as a donor car for parts, or break it and claw some money back.
I'm sorry to say lads but I don't think i'll be making it tonight,
my Mum's having a new driveway put down and she's asked if I can go round and help her tidy up this evening.
Family > Everyone else.
I need a cup spoiler for my Iceburg really finishes the boot off nicely,
also I hate to admit it, but anthracite Turini's really do look bloody good on it.
Bloke in a GW 200 waved at me as I was driving out of Stratford Upon Avon on the Warwick RD A439,
I was in an Iceburg 172 going in the opposite direction.
It gave me a nice little feeling, as I gave up waving at RS Clio's quite some time ago,
as people would just look at me like I was mad...
My kind of people those, what i'd describe as 'normal' people, it's all the Ben Sherman wearing tossers that freak me out.
I'd love a go on the bird in the second to last picture, she's like a punk version of Billy Piper. :evil:
It really was quite shiny mate, I was impressed as it takes dedication to keep a ph1 in that good a nick.
Also how many Mk1 Cortinas were on the road today?
Some kind of Ford festival on I think, I was drooling so much I nearly swerved out of my lane. :o
Have you ever been to one of the West...
About 9:45 on the way to Stratford Upon Avon,
very tidy Black Ph1 172 on the A46, being driven by a bloke with a shaved head and glasses.
No CS stcker, but it was such a nice example it's obviously looked after.
Worth a post I think.
I'm all about the driving not the waxing aswel, I fully approve of fast dirty cars. :approve:
Second shot is amazing!
I thought you'd be twitching at the sight of all that dirt Kev? ;)
Mine does this relay clicking thing, but it has a new battery that's fully charged.
Plus the key fob works every time, the weird thing is if I turn the ignition on for 30secs, it'll start perfectly.
But if I keep trying to turn the key without a break it won't start for ages.
Re: The CSS pic thread
People showed up to CSS with their girlfriends, no-one said sh*t to them or their gf's,
but when pics were posted of peoples birds, scared virgins that don't talk to women started taking the piss
or going on about what they'd do to them.
It's seems some people can only...
Re: The CSS pic thread
Or a box that says :
'I'm quite as a mouse, scared to talk to girls, but I will go online and talk about what i'd like to do to them the next day'.
Yep, rear shocks.
Mine was doing it when I bought it, but the seller threw in a set of dampers with the car,
swapped them over, bounciness disappeared.
I was a little gutted you weren't there this year, at least it gives me something to look forward to next year,
i'll try not to throw up on your shoes.
