Just bought this, should pick it up Friday. Ordered a new Hatchbag, set of mats, PH sticker and tax disc holder this afternoon. Will get some pics of it up when we collect it. Our personal plate (3 BBK) will go on it, so look out for it around the area!
Nice mate, is that replacing the Clio Sport?Stef

We get 2 cars at the moment through where I work, change of job means I will get a car, but need to get the wife one. So, she can have the 'sensiblish' car (we have 2 dogs) and I will get something nice through work!Stef
PS. Were you in a 500 Abarth yesterday morning on the M3?
Here's my new addition, put some work into it since I bought it a few weeks back. It's going to be my autosolo / rally track hack car. Having mot troubles at the mo due to the way Renault built it!! No rear brakes due to the brake bias valve as its non adjusting! Hopefully take it to rentech in Pompey for them to look at and re test!

172 Cup, Alan? The brake/MOT thing is laughably common. Edited by motorbreath on Saturday 10th March 21:21
Replacing the Skoda or..? Quite a fan of the noise my mates Full Fat 172 makes when pressing on.

Yeah the Skoda is due to go when the clio's up and running. Shame really it's a nice car, decent engine, just a bit too bulky for what I'm planning on doing...autosolos! :-) so small cheap and cheerful it is! Replacing the Skoda or..?

Taking the cup to rentech in Pompey, fingers crossed they will be a bit more understanding about the rear brake issues, garage in heady down weren't happy with the statement issued by vosa re the bias valve, was quite annoying, £50 down the drain!
Are younstill over this way or in Kent nowadays ?

Do the Cups whistle when you really get into the rev-range like the FFs do?
Kent for the moment, but I'm back in town pretty much for good from the 25th.

Cool, Ill keep my eyes peeled when your back! Can't tell you about the whistle tbh, not driven it far enough lol! Im not in Alton any more, new job sends me Farnham way, which I dont mind, quite like the run from Hindhead to Frensham - its nice and twisty!

I dont actually work out of there anymore Mark, but do spend a fair bit of my time round there as I know where I am going!
Heres another couple of my new car, all good so far. Just need to get it out for a run/meet when work allows. Really like it though, definitely made the right choice. Pro photos coming soon when I have sorted a location, possibly starring another familiar face?!
Absolutely love this mate, especially in saloon flavour! Heres another couple of my new car, all good so far. Just need to get it out for a run/meet when work allows.

I'm buying this back at the end of the week. Not a patch on stuff in this thread but I can't wait.
It sure was, the previous owner (a P/Her with a Chimaera) did a full body off chassis re-furb
and put the roll cage in at the same time, which helps stiffen the chassis as well. Also has uprated Willwood brakes (discs all round, drums on the back was std) and uprated suspension, so not quite as it came out the factory at Blackpool
Not silly quick (although feels fast) but great fun
