Well do i really need to add more to this vote !!

Lets put it this way !! I sell the cars and what do i choose to OWN !!

I could have a 172 OR CUP !! But i dont ! Not that they are a bad car, not that they arent fast, not that they look great or have lots of goddies that the Willy doesnt.

Just they dont seem to have that rawness and styling that the Williams has !

So if ya wanna flame me go ahead. I can be found at http://www.williamsrulestheclioworld.co.ukwww.williamsrulestheclioworld.co.uk

WILLIAMS

Williams - without a doubt, and absolutely sorted car in all respects, and like Nick says, what other car 10 years on can fetch 1/3 of its original value??????

LOL @ Roamer - building (or is it built?) the most hardcore 172 in the UK and he still votes Williams. And bought one too it seems!

Ive got a 172 but the williams is definately definately a more classic car. I remember when they first came out it was like WOW a fekkin williams and they were quite a sight to behold, a real headturner. The 172 is definately more stealth.

Obviously the 172 is a better car as it newer, more refined and (dare I say) quicker in standard trim. But if you took the williams when it was new and compare it to the 172 now the williams would definately be sub zero on Top gears cool board and the 172 would probably between zub zero and cool.

Given that im soon to be the owner of a williams i may be a bit biased but im way more pleased with my williams that i ever was with my 172.

The williams is much more of a drivers car in my opinion, Only thing it lacks is the obvious AC and leather/alcantara seats (But then i do like me posh toys, he he)

Again tho i find another unusual driving position like in the 172, must be a french gene problem! LOL
