More cups on here than std 172’s

[Frasers Cup]

Is it my imagination or are there more cups on this forum than 172s?

Easy way to find out - have a look at the member list and sort by car type.

 

[mechachrome]

i thought it was the other way round myself???

 

[Frasers Cup]

Oooooh good thinking batman. lol

 

[Frasers Cup]

Yeah well thats what i would have thought but ive seen loads and loads of cups about in here!

 

[timbo172cup]

Theyre multiplying. Especially with 182 "cups" claiming the name. I was gutted when the 182 came out in a similar colour to the cup, see them everywhere now.

 

[telford_mike]

Looking at the member list Cups are still in a minority.

No wonder really they seem to be a bit accident prone

There are no cars in the list claiming to be a 182 Cup.

No ABS helps keep them fairly rare

Either that or its a good indiction that Cup drivers are the worst drivers !

Im alright with the lack of ABS but ill admit in bad conditions it would make things a lot less painless if i had it. You have to have a good feel on the brakes without it. OO i think i lifted an inside rear wheel yesterday and i only got it yesterday. I think without the conforts of the leather n air con i think it makes us cup drivers just wanna drive too fast. Cus lets face it wot does a cup do apart from go fast??

I was thinking about a cup when I got mine. The colour is nice & so are the wheels, but I just couldnt do without all the extras. & they arent that much faster really.

Have never had the ABS kick in on mine, have had te ESP kick in though and that really pissed me off!!! Its like going out with the missus proper spoils your fun!!!

hehe

mine kicks in all the time, coz i have to drive thru lanes twice daily, i like the feeling under my foot, feels like ive pressed the brakes so hard that i can feel the metal on metal!

come to think of it,, thats not a very nice feeling!

So you are saying that ABS would make it more painful?

Interesting.

I dont think that my sis has updated her membership details since she got her Cup, so thats another one to add to the list of owners!
