27 miles on the clock

[soon have a 172]

Hiya,



I guess I am about ready to become a fully paid up member. Picked up my shiny new172 about an hour ago. Looks great, smells great, feels great (is it me or is there a touch of oversteer?)



Hopefully I will soon have a few original posts of my own to add to the thousands already here.

As for oversteer youll be lucky its understeer thats a problem cos the cars front wheel drive. Once you get used to the handling though it just gets more and more enjoyable

Its Silver, and shes done 100 miles now. I got renault to mount the disc changer in the boot as I like the map tray under the passenger seat. My sense of direction is lousy, but something tells me I wont mind getting lost and driving the long way round anymore ;-)
