Did I mention........

[Tyssen]

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

[Tyssen]

Yeh lets go.....

 

[Gally]

LOL!

You're right, they are totally different to the 1.2 to drive.

 

[lbrench]

its such a great feeling going from a small car to a big one, i went from a 1L 1994 polo to a clio 200

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:

 

[TimR26]

Know the feeling I went from a 1.1l 106 to my 172

 

[gaz44]

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!?"

 

[jesus]

You think that's a big step-up, I went from a 125cc scooter to an Impreza ffs.

 

[planetx]

^^^^^ good man

 

[.Ben.]

Years ago, I went from a 125cc scooter to an R6! :evil:

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.

Only because you broke your clio! Lack of oil if iirc :rasp:

 

[Ali]

lol. I used to think they were fast...But in the grand scale of things. There "nippy"

 

[Jonff]

lol. I used to think they were fast...But in the grand scale of things. There "nippy"

According to a few on here they're the quickest car out there

 

[Chili Red]

Didn't know you were buying a Cup Laura, new job?

Enjoy!

Wait til the summer, you'll soon start moaning about no aircon

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

lol. I used to think they were fast...But in the grand scale of things. There "nippy"

They're nippy.

 

[Munson]

80% of cars you see from day-to-day can't reach 100mph in 17s. On that basis it's fast.

 

[Joshua.J]

Ah i loved that feeling drive a 1.2 to the garage trade it in come away in a 172...bonus over take your dad who drives a rover lol

 

[Da]

Mine's fast

My 1.2 was 'nippy' lol!

 

[DannoTheGreat]

good show!
i went from a 350 brake pulsar to my 172 so it felt slow. more fun though!

 

[gaz44]

Nippy means cold, not quick or fast.

[SteveS Cup]

Lol, I went from a 280bhp Polo to the Cup and it feels a bit sluggish sometimes but my god it's a fun car!

 

[Brett]

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.

 

[DMS]

Mine's "nippy" too.
