Lots on ebay normally

Dont think its recorded on HPi - unless the car is classed a right off.

B0ll0cks!!!!!!! Every department? No way!

Rich-D got a V6 when he took his cup in.

Just buy a 1.4 then ;) Dont know what Freds got but Im sure some people must know.

Think Freds is about 90bhp

Should sure the 1.2 16v lump isnt made mostly from plastic? Looks it.

No way. Not yet anyway A Mini, Bettle or mk1 Cortina is retro.

Hard one to call. The 1.4 should have more torque. Not that it matter much on a 1.2 (unless its Freds car) but isnt yours modded?

Sweet car. As long as you like the mirrors and lights thats all that matters. Whos is the mighty mini?

Running them low is meant to make the bulbs last longer.

Cup ones would suit an Artic 182.

Itll end in tears!

Loan shark otherwise? There are a few on here

MikeC has missed a new female member for sure!

Oh dear another girl member....................Waits for MikeCs post Welcome To Cliosport

Wouldnt pay £15688 for a 182 myself but a friend of mine has bought a Mini One over 5 years HP and in the end will pay back £17k we worked out. Hes got a rubbish rate of 14.5% with BMW finance or something.

Look at mk1 172s now for a guide. Although the new mk3 will hit prices hard - especially if theres an RS version. Id say between £5k and £6k

Yeah Ive always found the Cup skitish under hard acceleration - especially on crap conduction roads.

Chavs would crash a cup instantly!

That right angle on the door is annoying! I normal catch my coat zip on it.

Frosty got his cup at 19 and was paying about 1800. Is the Cup higher than 172s and 182s? I just ran though some sample quotes and the 172 was lower. Only about £30 though.

My first car was a C reg Metro City 1.0 Pretty nippy little thing. My friends in their 1.4 Escorts and 1.6 Cavalier couldnt touch me on the lanes. Got 70mph in 3rd too. Rust killed it.

Still look the part though http://www.hiflowheads.co.uk/forsale/cars/Miami205-Mi160001.jpg

A 106 GTi (or Saxo VTS) is 120bhp (or 130bhp if you find a lucky one) but it weights next to nothing so I think its about 1.5 secs quicker to 60 than a C2. I think the C2 VTS engine is similar but with a new head to get round current emissions rules. EVO did give the C2 VTS a very good write up...

I wouldnt use Turtle wax on a van.

Me thinks they use more machines (robots) now.

Sadly you very rarely get your money back on mods Gee. Although I have to say your 1.2 is proberbly the nicest in the club (that and Spammys) imo. Mods are tasteful and it doesnt have wiff of Chav about it. Id count that as a lovely first car. and of course fit some Turinis.;)...

Lovely car but.... Get them washer jet covers painted asap!
