[Beefmeister]

Afternoon all,

I picked up my 02 plate 172 this afternoon, and have enjoyed every minute of it so far!

Here it is:

And here's what it replaced:

And here's what that replaced ( just to give you an idea of what kind of person I am!):

Had to buy a house, so the RX-7 went, and I went cheap for a year, and now have got back on the bhp ladder again!

I'm an automotive engineer, and am convinced my blood is 30% race fuel...

Very active member of Pistonheads too...

Look forward to much Clio-related banter!

 

[MARK A]

Hi and welcome, nice colour, you don't see many Monaco blues about. I think I've only ever seen one on the road.

Welcome to CS....nice looking 172.

RX7 is a beautiful car but at that mpg I can see why you got rid of it!

Welcome m8 - nice colour of 172! :approve:

How's the 172 comparing to the little Pug?

There's a lot of respect for Rex's on here from what I've seen, so you should fit right in!
