Alex I can see why they're getting upset about it.
I own a ph2 172, stripped, no door cards, exhaust, matched inlets, samco bend, lightweight wheels et cetera and this clio matches my 172 off cam easily. Judge my car how you will, and feel free to come down and have a blast around Essex's country roads even.
I followed Alex and a standard ph2 172 on the way to the lakeside meet 20/02/2009 and watched this s**tty bonnet liftered speed dented vtec clio glued to the bumper of the 172 fully until they both let off, call it driver error, call it vtec, whatever it's not the car it's how you use it.
At the meet the 172 driver actually came up to me and told me he was a little embarrised the way that alex's car kept with him. I dont blame him, it seems to have clearly brought some of you down to a keyboard feces flinging level too, but seriosly why do you care??
Even if he's trolling some of your reactions are f**king hilarious and to be honest embarrising for a car owners club.
