you said.....
Why are 172 drivers so smug?
This is a Clio site and not just a 172 site, so me finks its about time us "lesser" Clios deserve some respect!!!!
and to be honest, although the 172 is a little faster than my 1.4 16v, my car definetly wins in terms of looks, with two big thumbs up!!!! with my blacked out tints, body coloured bumpers, front splitter, modified 205 spoiler, DTM mirrors, fat zorst, and when I got my 17s on!!!! it definetly looks nicer than the 172!!!
Secondly, my ICE including the RF power 500 amp and power 400 amp, RF power 15inch DVC sub, infinity front and 6 by 9 speakers and Pioneer screen is capable of dropping 132dB and will deafen any 172 out there Im sure!! so me thinks me win on ICE too!!!
So point here is yes the 172 deserves respect cos its fast, but dont mean that other clios cant have respect too! so 172 boys, stop being little smug t***s will ya!!!!!!
Plus I will show ya wot I can do on the twisty bits!!!!
you sometime start with the basics of a reasonable comment, but you word it incorrectly, you resort to profanities, and then you often say something complete ridiculous as if to make out that you are somehow joking...
with that aside young man... it is possible that you are correct in your original comment, I don’t think you are btw, but it is possible...
there has been a lot of 172 type chat lately, it is to be expected, its a new flagship of the range...
perhaps some are blinkered ??..
Perhaps I am.. I own a 172, love it, etc etc etc
.......
but.. I don’t have a real interest in the other models..
I just like what I have, my tech knowledge on the 172 is purely due to having one and applying past knowledge and experience.. I don’t offer suggestions . apart from generic ones .. for the rest of the range, simply because I am not familiar with the model.
If that comes over sorta smug.. its not meant to..
I am sure a lot of people here are in the same boat, for better or for worse ... it is difficult ot get a fan who is fanatic across the whole range, thats not how it works for the majority...
so, people often talk about their marque, and that alone.. its not smug, its not anything, apart from human nature dood..
so, chill out, have a fat one.. read just 17 or similar lol...
but don’t be so focused yourself that YOU cant see the wood for the trees...
Have fun..
