Only "Quite" ?

 

[Turkish]

good man, did you have a go in a cup and a 172 or just the 172 ?

has it helped you make you mind up whether to go for it or not ?

 

[Lee]

Quite impressed. Thats all you have to say. We need to hear more?

I take it you placed your order before you left. The test drive is always the killer. Very few walk away without leaving a deposite.

[SAX_MAN]

It was a silver 172 i drove, handles well, it didnt feel quicker than my VTS until about 4500 rpm, from then on it chuffing flys!

 

[paddymph]

SEEE!!!!!!!! I WAS right!!!!! itss because u drove a silver one, you need a red one for FULL effect!

 

[SAX_MAN]

Red ones are 200 bhp arent they paddy?!!!

 

[CUPPY]

650bhp with turbo lol

 

[adiclio16v]

hehe i went in a ctr and while the vtec is impressive its useless out of it and just not for me really

not drove a 172 either actually, been in paddys and it felt fukin quick

u want a mk1 2.0 16v tho really faster than a 172 and a ctr

adi

 

[visceral]

dont get a bloody red one, they make red ones on friday afternoons.

now Iceberg silver is made tuesdays - when all the guys have recovered from the weekend.

cups apparently are made on mondays - nuff said.

for more utter Bollox, please tune in later.

 

[adiclio16v]

lol red cars are clearly the fastest ones used to be silver till i got a red car

adi

 

[visceral]

well I must admit that bloody silver thing u used to own was bloody rapid - though the flames from the exhaust discouraged closer inspection lol.

2400 miles..........I am ready!!

 

[adiclio16v]

hehe bring it on!!!

btw this one seems to pop more flames than the silver one with the straight thru de-cat on hehe

adi

 

[visceral]

Ill grab some asbestos for the front then lol

 

[adiclio16v]

hehe u planning on being behind then lol

thats not the spirit we want winning talk lol

if your looking for performance and arnt too bothered about leather seats, air con etc, and want to save some money in the process get the cup, its still an amazing car - ive had mine a week now, owned a 5 turbo for 5 years which was quite modified, and I never thought id be able to buy a brand new car which could rival it, but the cup does exactly that, its not as quick low down the revs, but once you hit 4-5k rpm it really does start motoring. I got mine from my local dealership for £11999 with diamondbrite and mats thrown in on an 03 plate... I was originally going to buy their demonstrator which was 1 day old when I went to look at it, they told me it was gonna cost £12,449 but after speaking to the sales guy he said he could do the cheaper price (11999) on the basis I ordered one and wait 5 weeks, purely because he had just got the demonstrator in and wanted to drive it himself !! hehe ...

 

[visceral]

Nah....no winning talk here....Its more of a suprise when I cane ur ass then lol.

 

[SAX_MAN]

Sorry people, just test drove a Civic Type-R, my mind is made up.

 

[paddymph]

doh! how did it compare to the Clio?

 

[mick_cup]

Should have test driven a CUP.....
