She’s Gone!!





Oh well after weeks of trying to sell her she has finally gone. Sold the 172 on the weekend. It was well bad seeing the car being driven off by someone else, knowing that Ill never drive it again. It was the first car I had and I treated it better than anything else I have ever owned. Just hope the next guy will look after it!!!

Anyway time for pastures new- Ill be looking to get a VX220 this weekend and I cant wait. It was a bit of a toss up with the Clio V6 but the lure of open top motoring got me in the end. I know that alot of people on here have been on about the next move from a Clio. The VX justs seems a bargin Sports car. Having a few rides in them, I dont think it is that much quicker than a 172 but it is the whole experience-2 inches from the ground, cornering on rails etc....

Hope you lot dont mind me sticking around on this forum as Ive always found it a good laugh and Ill probably still tag along to some of the smaller meets if that is ok.

Ill post some pics when I got it
 


Was seriously tempted to get the Turbo. Insurance was only £200 more!!!

I need to try and save some money though so opted for the NA. Probably get a Turbo in 12months time.
 


I let the car go for a bargin Price. Its just the number of imports and the time of year has brought the values right down. Its a buyers market place out there!!!

Thats why I want to get the VX now as well - Summer car bought in the Winter. Knocks at least £500 off the price.

i reckon it would kick a 172s ar*e mate, over 1.5 seconds quicker to 60. Have driven the turbo and it was an awesome car, just not really and everyday car in my opinion. Not the easiest thing to get in and out of.

Nice car though, hope you like it.
 


Ill keep you all posted with what the VX is like to live with. Ill be commuting about 60miles/day in it so my back is going to take a battering!!! I think the fun of the car will overide the awkwardness of getting in and out!!!
