Did I mention........



  172 cup
that I love the cup, despite all the unexpected expense I love it.

Its so different going from driving a 1.2 to a 172 cup, I only have to move my foot slightly and whoooooooosh.

Only thing is I havnt had chance to have a proper drive out in daylight yet, also want to give her a good clean/detail at the weekend and take some pics.

Oh Im also waiting for some chav or corsa driver to try and race me LOL

It's much more interesting going the other way.

Out of a Impreza STi into a Shogun - First time you forget you're in a lardy $hite handling 4x4 is "interesting" :clown:

It's more fun letting the 1.2's etc beat you. They go home thinking their car is special and that they are a hero and you go home with a clean license, knowing you made someone feel proud and impressed with their new, higher powered 1.23 Corsa/Micra etc...

"...must have an induction kit or summit!?"
 
You think that's a big step-up, I went from a 125cc scooter to an Impreza ffs.

I've still to see pictures of your Impreza yet Jamie :rasp: lol.


As for the Cup, the 1st 2 months or so the car feels really quick but that feeling does wear off unfortunately when you get use to it. Still an enjoyable drive when you're in the mood and you find a good road to take it on.

Please tell me this is taking the piss out of the other thread.

Glad you like your new car anyway, everything sorted on it now?

I've got used to the power now. They pull well for a small car tbh.

They don't feel much quicker at low revs than a 1.2 however thats probably because i've forgotten how slow a 1.2 is. Over 3K they start to pull ok.
