Lovely car and a great write up. Credit to you! Want to see a thread on the hillman though....

Last time I saw this it was on a trailer at a smeatharpe airfield day. Before I left and came back. What some 6-7 years ago? Welcome back.

I run rainsports on the cup, not the most expensive tyre. But a tyre that I am comfortable with for my driving style and the car use, I'm the first to admit that I'm not the best driver and with no ABS I'll take all the help I can get in adverse weather. Tyres are a topical debate because if...

Yes, towards the Audi. Never towards the Clio, although once had someone tell me that it wasn't a 172 cup as they only come in blue.

Personally I still love a near standard 172 cup, hence having bought a second one. I love the poverty spec interior as it reminds me of older hot hatches form the 80s, but in a car I can use everyday if needs be. Not everyone will agree, but to me it seems like the last off the old school, big...

Dulcet tones? Son of a b............. You must be on about another friend? (or two that I can think of!). I long for this car to be sorted, normal life can then resume. The amount of hours that have gone into this car stretch far beyond those spent in just a workshop. It's been a true...

Love this, still miss mine...

Welcome along. I'm 30 and the clio still makes me smile.

Great result there. One day I will wash my car. Got to build up to a detail.....

I have a spare ticket for this if anyone wants it for £10

I'm in the pistonheads area, will be in the audi though.

Really nice, kind of miss my saloon. Please get the inlet swirl flaps removed if not already. There's a lot of info online with regards to the failures.

Re: The life of... SharkyUK's Trophy [& Fred's V6] Good to see you and the car again Andy, always feels like too long between visits. Please don't publicise that I occasionally clean cars, I have my poor reputation to uphold. But it was a state........, On that note if anyone ever fancies a...

Looking good, always nice to see another silver cup.

Looks stunning, winning in a big way. It's a lot of work but the reward is driving something unique.

haven't attended a meet since the old reps schweppy and Justin were doing their bit in bristol. They worked hard to bring people together back then, very hard. Also the old Carlton exmouth, airfield days used to bring people together well. Gone are the days.

Getting in to the world of audio, bluetooth speakers and so on I expect.

I was pretty sure that he said his wasn't originally a cossie shell too. I could be very wrong though. Still a good looking car.

Is there not normally 'the Opel badge' medallion?

Hats how my first 172 cup died, someone's put her back on the road though.

That's offended my eyes!

I love that colour, can only imagine it looked pap in the brochure and that's why they didn't sell many.

That's the 4th silver 172 cup I know of relatively local. There's 3 in my hometown and you up the road in bristol. Looks to be a nice one though, enjoy!

Auto choice had some horrendous cars when I was looking. Looked at a audi a4 s line which looked ok until really close inspection. They cheaply tart cars up and ask inflated prices. I know this is business, but for those with a passion and a keen eye there are better cars and alternatives out...

205s as the mrs drives it! Need I say more?

I'm not sure he'll enjoy doing 5 x 15 spoke audi wheels that have started to peel......might be back to looking for a powder coat place.

Do they paint or powdercoat? I need he audi wheels doing desperately a winter of neglect has killed them.

If it's been looked after and it's the car you want then pay what you are willing to pay. People on here can advise you on the prices which they think are right but the market is all overt he place at the moment. The way I see it is the difference between 2500 and 3000 is only 500 quid. I've...

Looked pretty nasty, not much left of the front end. Ambulance and paramedic present. Hope all were ok. Nasty conditions.

Nice choice. Just one motorway junction up too.
