Thanks for all the support guys Waiting on the HPI results to come in...fingers crossed G

Hey WI7GLE, Yep HPi, is really the next step, little nervous to do it tbh!! If no other leads, will have to go that route

Do you still have the unit near the Easten road?? How is the car going? I see you have made a few changes to her!!

No, had a few places since then lol. Depending on the client, depends on the country!! HQ though is now up in the North East... hell of a move, Wifey knows best...apparentley

Hey Mike, Yep got the PM thanks, as soon as I find her will bring the 'little blue car' to you for a good check over. Probably been 4 years since you first showed me how to change the oil, out the front of my flat one sunny saturday!!

Jon your a star mate!! The reg for any of you budding Holmes is LM53 £$&. Surely has seen a cup with that...

Paul, read my post 'a little boys dream' I have owned all sorts of cars. The tyres of my last one nearly cost of a cup these days and I tell you what, I would do anything to have that 'little blue car' back. A well lookd after cup will bring you more joy than you can possibly believe, on the...

Wow was not expecting this kind of respnse, keep them coming guys. Well I thought I had started the ball rolling, turns out the guy I thought had bought 'the little blue car' did not - felt like a right prat!! But to be honest glad it was not that easy, where would the fun in that be. This...

Well have started the ball a rolling!!! Emailed the guy who bought it off me. Fingers crossed eh!!

As long its not been scrapped, there is a chance...well that's what I keep telling myself. Lol Jon, if its a LM$$ $$$ be afraid, I coming to get you!! :-)

Could you not just strip the engine down and build it back up and make it last a lot longer?

That's a shame to here Jon - I'm thinking about about writing a blog on this 'The on that got a way...then returned' :-)

Thanks Ollie, I will find my ol 'little blue car' and bring her home. The Trophy, or though a fantastic car in its own right, would just not be the same as the one we had.

Its been a while since I posted on these hallow pages!! But I am back; and both to seek and offer advice - if that is possible!!?? The story begins... well a few years ago now; when I bought a 172 Cup. To say the car was a pleasure, and the most fun I have had in car is an understatement...

Damit!! - Sorry....

Hi Lil Kim, Please don't take this the wrong way ( I hardly ever reply to posts) but use the search option, it really is there for a reason. If you don't know which one you want, then half the key board warriors on here wont know and you will still be none the wiser!! Go out and test...

My other halfs blue 53 plate Cup has climate control - Oh and is up for sale at the same price you are willing to pay but has done 20k less miles!! PM me if you want any further details. G

Bad as s**t

I believe what I was trying to say before the "Cat jumped in" was t..yres make the difference.............!!!! Don't ya know.

eDDED

I am after a def blend of looks, style and power; forgive me but I don't think the V6 quiet gives that in the power stakes (although def in all others), I want power with style but am yet to be convinced about the V6's power but not about their cracking looks or rariety!!

But what would you buy?

Hi All, It has been a while since I drove the Wife's Cup and even longer since I posted!! We were supposed to have sold the car last year but I was persuaded otherwise (not too difficult I might add) to keep the car as the wife got her company car. I write now for two reasons one being I...

Touch wood our Cup seems to be rattle free and we seem to have been lucky no problems at all at 32k miles, mind you it always gets warmed up before reved over 3k and little things like oil changed every 6k miles etc are done to keep it as good a runner as it can be. If your looking we will be...

Mine also has full climate control

cheers Cat will have word with Mike about it then G

LOL - so could I get a sat nav fitted in the Cup - I am sure I have seen some 172s with them installed.

Is there a site I can go to have a look at this Lee cheers G
