[MrMark]

nice one fella!

 

[Adam]

Picked the car up a few hours ago. What can I say... apart from its fooking awesome. I hate to say it but it makes the 182 look / feel shite lol.

I will get some pics up soon

 

[seb]

amen, one you've lived with it and used it properly you see how much it has moved on from the 182. it is a delightful machine

 

[Adam]

The drive is so much nicer, its just effortless. The box is alot tighter which is great so changing gear is a breeze.

I love everything about it.

 

[Christopher]

[seb]

I only had a 20 min test drive in a 197 and that made my 172 feel really sh*tty when I got back in it. lol :dapprove:

 

[Phill1978]

197 is a nice piece of kit actually. the gear box is the one single biggest improvement, combined with the tiny thicked rimmed wheel it feels as good to drive as you imagined the 172 would.

Awesome matey...welcome to 2008..

 

[Adam]

Good stuff matey!

Pics ASAP!

I will be on the case tomorrow

Just been out in it again and the box just gets better and better lol. Not really pushed the handling side of things yet but it does feel well planted

197's only lol

 

[makavelli]

197's only lol

there will be loads there then, they are common as muck :rasp:

edit: gaz, did you get zapped last week? there was a massive push by the local coppers, camera van's and patrols all around the crewe/nantwich area last week they pulled me

 

[Gaz_]

nearly as many as N/W RB's

 

[makavelli]

nearly as many as N/W RB's with white wheels

Around Whitchurch, on Wednesday by a Scamera van, not pulled or anything. Just the dreaded wait lol. As said i'm not even sure if i was zapped tbh!!! Three points and a fine i can take, lesson learned (clean license). A ban would reet piss me off, no summer stuntin see

i was picked out of a queue of traffic approaching a roundabout in nantwich on the claims that i was "driving erratically" pmsl lieing b*stards, how could i drive erratically in a flow of traffic approaching a roundabout at 35mph?!!

got to go on a driver improvement course because i had a 3/4 number plate :S and they said if they see me with the plate on again (this is the first time ive been pulled in 2years of having a 3/4) they are going to get my private plate revoked by the dvla

nothing like the fairness of the law eh

 

[Gaz_]

Yes they are all w*****s imo. I have had many a run in (non since i've had an RS though) back in they day. Power trip FTL

 

[makavelli]

its the first time the racing blue has let me down

the first thing he said to me was "not very inconspicuous is it this car"

sums it up for me: lad driving bright blue sports car, must be pulled over

 

[Gaz_]

w*****s mate!!!! I may be joining you on this course if i got caught. Mini meet FTW!!!!

 

[makavelli]

lol :approve:
