I've just bought a 172...

...in time for my yearly jaunt to Le Mans. Any advice for making sure it'll get there and back in an effortless fashion?? (this is my first post on the forum p.s) :approve:

Advice ?

Keep it on the black stuff between the green things.

Yehhh, solid runner. Cambelt done less than 10k ago, so it's all good I think. I'm gonna give it the once over, fluids etc but just wondered if there was anythin random i should look out for.

Giraffe - good advice, after a bit of a play with the car. I'd have to be seriously pushing it to loose control, handles like a dreeeeaaammm.

Is there a group of cliosport-ers headin down to le mans this year?

You'd be surprised how many people can't cope with the supercar like power and handling.

Watch out for the lift off oversteer

If you're a LM fan, I guess you're a bit of a petrol head so one would hope you know what FWD surrendermonkies handle like anyway

Get some pics up !

Pics of the car I mean... unless you're ridiculously pretty.
