new 172!

[LegoHead]

I went for a test drive today in a 172, could not resist it and agreed to buy there and then. Goodbye 1.2, hello 172 and climate control! oh and a couple more horses as well.

 

[badinvincible]

Aye, about 50 more horses

 

[LegoHead]

really, or are you pulling me leg? I thought 1.2 had about 80. What can the 172 actually do?

 

[badinvincible]

Theres good ones and bad ones, like anything mate.

172 cup? I am a bit of a newbie, all I know is it handles really well, fast as f**k, and comfortable.

The 172 cup carries 80kg less weight so ya get more BHP per tonne !
