wideboy · May 16, 2005

cilo 172 1 year

206 GTi 2 years

civic type R 2 years

Clio V6 255................forever

this is the only car ive ever said this about, every time i drive it the smile keeps getting bigger and bigger !

Dash · May 16, 2005

But youre not quite as old as me Mike

Both born in 1915, but my birthday is in January

George16v · May 17, 2005

I think you can be old and not have a V6 - Some of us realise that the 172 can be just as fun and still have practicality!!

Pah! Who needs practicality? Thats what the missus car is for!! Mind you, Ive got room for a baby in the front and a kipper in the boot, according to Mr. Clarksons review...

cat171 · May 17, 2005

i have never seen a mk2 vee & only ever seen about 3 mk1s ever !

George16v · May 17, 2005

I suppose your right, But my Misses doesnt drive so only have the one car. May be changing soon though if new job takes off..

My Vee is totally practical. Ive 3 kids and not had a problem yet. Of course our other 7 seater does help

Also bought a buggy for the little un which in theory fits behind the front seats (courtesy of some pre-purchase measurements from Mike) tho to be honest I havent actually needed to do that yet. My older boys love it ...

Chili Red · May 17, 2005

And you fitted half of Ikea in it too Andy!

im getting a vee mk2 when im 22, so 23 months time..ive worked out i can justify trading my cup in then and ive had rough estimates on insurance as accurate as it can be for nearly 2 years away

mitch_ · May 17, 2005

If Im 21 with a MK2, does that make me the youngest MK2 driver on here then?!

JJ172 · May 17, 2005

Now I feel -really- old! When I were a lad (read 23) Id barely got enough cash for a 1.1 Pop Plus Fiesta! Mind you, I did find enough to bung a two litre in it

As Im constantly reminded, the Vee comes "ready geezerd"...although Im not entirely sure Im happy with than analogy!

137699 · May 18, 2005

Im starting to feel old too - 33 with a Vee... I was wondering why the local Saxo boyz wouldnt talk to me - thought theyd be all desperate to take a look at the car and have a go in it.... clearly Im too old for them to be seen hanging around with the likes of me!

I have a 172 at present and getting my 255 in about 6 months, cant wait although i do sometimes think i could be getting more for my money with a different car.... do you 255 owners think im doing the right thing, ie do you not see other cars for the money you paid and have any second thoughts?...

telford_mike · May 18, 2005

Second thoughts? I suppose the thought of buying 25000 Prawn Mayo sandwiches is pretty appealing come to think of it, but other cars, no.

SOOTY · May 18, 2005

I knew you would be there to reply Mike!, ive still got a nice photo of yours minging round a track with your big cheesey grin petruding through the windscreeen!. I think i would most certainately have the same colour as yours.. although they are hard to come by second hand.

mk1.... and i love it...

SOOTY · May 18, 2005

I really cant get away with the Mk1 V6 i could afford one of them today but there are certain aspects of the V6 i dont like, the front end, size of the wheels, the dash / steering wheel. I have to have a 255!. I presume they drive the same?

telford_mike · May 18, 2005

Have a read of last months EVO, theres a V6 buyers guide.
