me and danlp6 in his stripped, bucketed valver

the 197 we saw on the M25, he didn't want to play sadly, maybe because they all looked like hairdressers

dartford tunnel (dan's valver sounded gorgeous in here, got the elise driver looking)

jamie - compared to dans valver power wise, we didn't really rag it as i don't know the car but on one section of the way home we were alongisde and in 3/4th he pulled initally but then the 172 pulled past easily.

totally different car to drive though

is quite dirty now though, will get a good clean

Totally, totally average.

And I'm completely, utterly jealous.

Get the 'shoot arranged SW Area Reps and get Mr. Award-winning-photographer along to get some pictures. :)

Oh, and the one thing I would change - the Ph-Quick stickers, doesn't suit the standard-ness IMO.

Nice one car looks great:) I thought it would be a good un as kmillard (sp) always seems to have clean motors.

That fiesta is just laughable tbh, proper fast car mag type of crap:rolleyes:

  Whichever has fuel
Nice one 'bone......

All you need now is a cup splitter, silvervisions, and some turinis ;)

Keep it original my love, it looks awesome.

Oh, and for the record, the biggest mistake i ever made was selling my ph-1 172.

i have a few little plans for it yes, they will initially all be subtle but then i may get into some more elaborate mods

dan - i was thinking about a cup splitter mate (will maybe talk to you) also some silvervisions, some new mats for it....all little bits really

i am loosing the gdi stickers and am debating the ph-quick stickers, what do people think?
