welcome mate.

i was in your situation wanting a quick car for work and weekends and ended up with my 172!

 

[generaljake]

cheers guys... looking at a 182 atm ..theres a black one for sale in my area with 35k on it might go take a look at it

Jake, I'm 42 and picked up my first 172 on Saturday ! )

Been a Scooby man for 9 years but the old girl finally blew head gaskets last Monday.. RIP (

Picked up a 53 Iceberg with 49k on the clock up.. brings a smile to the face ! Great litte motor, wish I'd discovered this years ago !

Welcome Jake. Where in the midlands are you?

I thought you meant people who had been here years...I'm both...you've got a couple of years on me (37 soon)...but if you're in the West Midlands, we've got a couple of the lads who are a little bit older than me, so you're not the only person over 21 if you are from the West side of the fence.

coolio .. I'm in good old Burton on Trent (or just outside) so hopefully I'll find a good example for squirting about in (the lanes i travel to work on are really tight which is why I gave up looking at xkr's)... looked at mini's coopers, too expensive but nice interiors. Then found the clios, crap interiors but i guess your paying for an engine and a set of wheels which i don't mind so much
.
One thing i'd like to ask you old timers is does the mileage matter so much i.e. between a 30k car or a 50k car? might sound a dumb question but I am pretty dumb, what can you do eh? .. one last thing as my commute to work is a bit bumpy with a few speed ramps i'm more inclined to go for a non cup car or non cup pack car ... any comments?

cheers
J
