a plate is worth whatever someone is willing to pay in the end.......

I had an odd plate on my first car (an old Y reg - 1982) I rang and got some valuations and eventually one of the companies advertised it for sale. It didn't cost me anything (they would have just taken a cut for selling it). The plate stayed on my car while it was advertised. In the end it...

looking at getting a 200 for the wife on this deal (she's bored of her fiat 500), just a quick question do any of the RS 200's have 5 seat belts?

I paid them to do a job, is it too much to ask for them to do it right without me telling him how to do it.

Had two new toyo T1R's fitted to the back of my 172 at the weekend. Felt fine around town but went on the motorway today and it felt like something was loose at the rear. When changing lanes or cornering at speed the front end would turn in then a split second later you could feel the rear...

there was an article in EVO a couple of months back (think it was an interview with David Richards) where they stated that the countryman (5 door mini) had perfect dimensions for a WRC car... Looks s**te from the side if you ask me, looks similar to when some one get's a 5 door clio and make's...

agreed good short video......I'd not seen it before..

mine do this too.... I was going to try silicone but looks like it doesn't work. I think I'll try maybe some two part glue or take it down to a windscreen repair place and see if I can blag them to bond it down.

Just had it cleaned at CLEAN DETAIL in Doncaster....and all I can say is superb. When I got the car it was a fairly low mileage 172 which had been well serviced, but didn't look like it had had much in the way of polish/wax in it's life (lot's of car washes me thinks). There were large amounts...

a few years ago I was looking at a car at a local second hand car dealership. I noticed that some of the paint lacquer had peeled off, the salesman saw that I had noticed this and promptly stated that "they all do that my car hasn't got any on at all"...this was made worse as he kept talking...

you need to get gap insurance to cover the difference, if you crash it under normal conditions. This will pay the difference between what your insurance pays out and how much it is for a new car. Resulting in you getting a new car again. If you shop around you shouldn't be talking much more...

I recently sold a 205 GTI and while it was up for sale someone from IOM called me too.. However I sold it before he could arrange to come view it......

I've had both, and think that the GTI-6 is better than the 172 in the twisty's, but my 172 feels quicker than what my GTI-6 did (well above 5000rpm anyway). I prefer the more modern feel of the 172, it's certainly put together better than my GTI-6...oh and so far every thing works in the 172 -...

I'm sure I've seen some black 1*2's with bright coloured wheels, but can't find the photo's any more... Anthracite does look good on back but these are my track wheels so was thinking of something bright/contrasting

just got some 15" OZ F1 to use on my 172 for track. Going to paint them soon, just want some ideas of different colours that people have used on a black cars other than silver....

I get roughly 30-35mpg, all town driving and with foot down... I had a massive excess to bring the insurance down on my GT5 when I was 21 (didn't crash it so I saved £500)....

tickets no longer available according to the Silverstone web site......to close to the date of the event is the reason given..

seems to be a few local people on here.....how many with a DN4 postcode?

I know I was only joking, I know a lot of people from Balby used to work there too....

would do if he's from Balby.....;)

I'm from Warmsworth......so I need to look out for a yellow Ph1. I'll get my sticker in the window. Look out for me (black PH2 172), I want a spotted thread all of my own....

saw a blue 1*2 cup this morning in Warmsworth, Doncaster with a EVO and a CS sticker in the back window. Looked like something was hanging down under the front of the car, must be someone on here??? Forgot to add I was in an Black 172....:approve:

I like it (I've got a feeling that that a lot of people won't agree) where did you get it from??

mine does it too, usually stops doing it after the first 2 miles....

A williams

I used DENTMAN Direct Ltd 07830 197769, he's a local (Doncaster) one man outfit and did a very good job on two of my cars. He charged £60 each time he came out... If you do have him to do some work, tell him James at Warmsworth (306 GTI-6 and BMW X3) recommended him as I need some more work...

anyone?? must be worth someone checking on their car just to shut me up.......

anyone know if it's the same with the standard 172 head unit (02 plate),? really want i-pod in mine

35 - black 172 and a 1991 205 1.9 Gti (although the pug is up for sale at the moment) [/URL][/IMG] [/URL] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG]

it only happened when the car was kept in the garage (which was very close to the sea)...it's got to be something to do with the sea air as it's never happened before and hasn't since (touch wood)....
