Do you live in Essex???



  Golf GT & A4 Avant
Do you live in Essex??? If so I'd like to ask two favours:

- I'm contemplating selling my 182 to save some money and considering a Ph-1 172 as a replacement so I can still enjoy driving. Is there anyone in Essex with one of these that I could have a look round and get some idea of what there like?

- Secondly, if I keep my car, I will be keeping it long term and might do some light modifications such as suspension/ exhuast/ filter etc. Does anyone in Essex have fitted to the 1*2 Eibach Sportlines that would take me for a drive so I could get an idea of the ride quality?

Thanks in anticipation.
David

I have a ph2 172 with Sportlines and I don't mind taking you for a drive (and a Viper, and a GDI exhaust, if that helps)

Gee thanks for your help anyway Laura!

Cookie, that would be great. Will you be going to any of the meets in the near future?

Yeah but there aren't any in Essex for a while I don't think

Next meet I'll be at will be the Southern Rolling Road one IIRC

Edit: If it helps, I could wander up to Braintree of a weekday evening

When and where is the Southern rolling road?

Where abouts are you? I work in Colchester and I'm back in Braintree just after 5 so could meet you half way if you've got to travel a fair distance?

ah beat me to it laura! ;)

dave what kinda price would you contemplate selling for?

Not sure to be honest, theres quite a range in price from what I read on here and car pricing guides etc. If I did sell it I probably wouldn't be putting it up for sale till April anyway.

Any guess's?
It's an Oct 2005 55 reg, both cup packs, I.D. Liquid Yellow. Just passed 24000 miles and both services by Renault, my dad is a Renault mechanic so it's been well looked after. All the rest is standard. only bad points is the usual stone chips on the lower bonnet/ bumper

Yup i dwell in Essex, Harlow to be precise. A stones throw from Mr Mark Fish.

I can never remember where that is. I know a little of Harlow as my dad is a mechanic for Darlingtons Renault Dealership.

Do you have a Ph-1 172 or have the sportlines fitted?

I'm in Thurrock, should come along to next westerham meet?

I have absolutely no idea where that is:eek: I know where thurrock is kind of.

I should come along to a lot more of the meets but have been really lame and never make it. I'm just lazy putting it simply

I can't say much for most of them up there, especially people out front!!!!

I only let my dad and maybe a few of the others there work on my car. No real reason why but I know I can trust them so I stick with them. Bit of a snob really. It's handy when I get a small problem, my car gets pampered if it's not running right.

Would like to say a big thankyou to Dcds4 for letting me check out his Ph-1 172 and take it for a test drive. It is one very clean car!

I can easily say that I could still enjoy driving if I changed to one of these, there is still the same characteristics but some subtle differences to keep me entertained
