Tupps Car Journal

[Tupps]

Would i be absolutly off my tree to accept this car as a px for my coupe

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270215829916&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123

Now before you go telling me in a homo and im a girl and all the rest - I KNOW this is stereotyped a a girls car

BUT.....

Coupe 51 plate vs Sportka 04 plate
Coupe Insurance group 15 vs Sportka Insurance group 6
Coupe average 23mpg vs Sportka average 37mpg
Coupe 58k Miles vs Sportka 25k Miles
Tax will be cheaper aswell

Reliability will be there with the teapot, the coupe is VERY comfortable however

I paid £3,600 for my Coupe (Which was deal of the century) and this bloke is offering his Sportka + cash in my direction

With the money he added i could lower it and stick some decent wheels on

Am i insane to consider it?

[josh1989]

tbh you could get a much better; looking, performing, less gay car, for the same money and it be just as sensible, get a focus diesel or something

yes you are insane :)

[Robb]

Yes Very.

Why not exchange then buy a better car with the money you made homes?

[Scattle]

Please dont. Coupe ftw.

[Jackman]

I don't think your insane.

I think its a deal.

[Tupps]

Thats only because you have a fetish for men who drive 8v cars Jack!!

The sportka would bring out my gay side thats been lurking in the closet for soo long though :)

[josh1989]

by lurking you mean full frontal for a long time?

[Robb]

I can already tell Tupps reeeeeeeeally wants it.

[-Jason-]

Good deal imo

[Quick]

If your quids in do it!

What are the values for both cars on autotrader/parkers!

[Jackman]

Thats only because you have a fetish for men who drive 8v cars Jack!!

Real men drive 8vs

Even if you swapped. got the extra cash and then sold the KA.

Do it.

[Nick_T]

Get the Sportka!! woo

[Tupps]

I can already tell Tupps reeeeeeeeally wants it.

It's all about the dolla

Meaning, monthly outgoings and the fact that i only paid £3600 for mine and i feel i would be ripping his eyes out as he handed me his car AND cash

Kinda turns me on

[josh1989]

i think someone has lead piped tupps round the head tbh

[Dan]

Cant beleive your even thinking about it mate

[Chris]

Sounds a pretty good deal Mate... you could exchange, then put the Ka up for sale at a profit and then get something you really want........... use the Ka as a gap filler!!

Chris :)

[Jackman]

Chris :)

that's a better idea, privacy windows ftw!

[Tupps]

I'm also thinking that josh!

I absolutly love driving the coupe, i can afford to run it, i can afford to aimlessly drive about where ever

But i'm just thinking about value / reliability and what not

Edit - Chris and Jackman are on the same astral plane as me, i'd probably keep it till my renewal ran out which is June

Or do i just ignore the whole thing and keep my coupe till then and HOPE i get decent money for it when i come to sell it

[josh1989]

I'm also thinking that josh!

I absolutly love driving the coupe, i can afford to run it, i can afford to aimlessly drive about where ever

But i'm just thinking about value / reliability and what not

well before you go ahead with the Ka have a look for other much nicer, better handling etc cars for the sime price but with the same sensiblities mpg etc, you may end up with a car you're not embarrsed with because let's face it looks are a rather important factor

[Tupps]

I need somebody to e-punch me in the face and tell me not to do it tbh!

Something tells me it's the right thing to do but deep down i really know i should keep the coupe

Maybe a work colleague has drugged my coffee?

[josh1989]

:boxing: e-punch biatch

[Jackman]

Ill e-punch you if you dont do it ;)

[Tupps]

I'm gonna speak to the bloke and find out the exact deal he's wanting....

[Chris]

Why you selling the Coupe if you can afford to run it and love driving it soo much??

Chris :)

[Tupps]

Why you selling the Coupe if you can afford to run it and love driving it soo much??

Chris :)

It's always a bonus to have a little extra cash

And i'd be benefitting from a car thats 3 year newer, alot less miles, less insurance, less mpg..... and COULD be a decent looking car with a few alterations?

I drive less than 2 mile to get to work and when i do use the car it's not as if im using the performance of the coupe to the max, but still paying silly mpg - Yes i can afford it.... but why should i

Think i'm turning homo tbh!

I totally agree with all of that!! We could afford to keep the coupe, but in the long run we could spend the money that we are forking out on that on something else..... home things, holidays, going out etc etc.

Chris :)

[Lee_P]

im like this literally like a mile to my work thats it

[MK2SLAG]

go for it your in a win win situation!!

[Tupps]

Drive about in a 23-24mpg car

Drive about in a newer 37mpg car and stick an extra £150 a month away....

A) Have a quick sexual looking car and grin and bear the costs, and have the worries of needing to replace a turbo etc
B) Newer by far more economical car and extra £150 a month in my back burner

I don't think im arsed about quick cars right now (till i go to asda at dinner and fall in love with the coupe)

Sucks to be me

[leeroybrown]

might as well add my bit, seen as according to some "Members" all i do is diss members selection of what car they are going to get

Well its shit lets be honest, total womans car. Its a ford fiesta designed for simple woman. Tupps can you really see yourself drivng one let alone owning one.

Evener more gayer then a MG

PMSL in all honestly the sport ka thing was the best model out of the range, with nicer bumpers and alloys, and i love the purple colour as well

Defo not for you

[Quick]

Buy a push bike, cycle the two miles to work!
Save money & get exercise!

[RobertsSax]

I think it looks pretty nice mate, i actually quite like it :y:
Don't be put off by the stereotype, i'm sure you wont get ripped for it... Much...

That's pretty much how I'm looking at things at the mo... except we're going for a Diesel so we get near on 50mpg, cheaper insurance and only £115 a year tax.

The speed thing is a bit of an issue, but Diesels can be remapped easily which gives you a fair few more horses!!

But if he gets it for a gap filler car till June, I personally think it's a pretty good car just for 3 months!!

Thanks leeroy... I'm no speed freak, i like to know i could afford to fix it should the whole thing go pop (which i couldn't with the turbo) and i'd like a little extra cash laid about - even if it means turning slightly female

Quick - It's either a 2 minute drive or a 15 minute walk, i'd rather spend the extra 15 minutes in bed

Chris - I'm starting to think in 3 month time when the Sportka will have about 30k mile will it be as easy to sell as the coupe and what will it be worth? Apparently its flawless so shoudl shift pretty easy? Easier than a modified Coupe turbo maybe?

[Chris]

Should be pretty easy I'd imagine.... the summer is when most people try and pass thier driving test etc, so parents will be on the look for a new car to spoil their little princess's with!!!!

Chris :)

[kenny]

it sounds like a really good deal to me.

could you live with having your feminine side showing everytime your out in the town tho lol.


weekends dont count ;)

[leeroybrown]

Nice colour i do love it

aRRR what the hell go get it, just drive around with a paper bag on your head

[Tupps]

Little princess's hahaha - i'd rep you if i could!

I'll speak to the bloke this after and hopefully come to some agreement

Thanks for your input fella's..... keep it coming

[Raz]

Little princess's hahaha - i'd rep you if i could!

how much dolla would you be happy with your way from him? cos i heared ya mention the ka plus dolla.....

[Chris]

Thanks for your input fella's..... keep it coming

No problem 'My Little Princess' :homme:

Chris :)

[VTR_Nick]

i wouldn't personnaly, each to there own i supose.
I would say it is a fair swap though

[Graeme]

at the end of the day it comes down to to simple choices

1. keep a car that looks good but cost you more a month

2. drive a newer car that doesnt look as good and could make you look :homme: but saves you about £150 and you will only have it for 3/4 months

id go with option 2 if it was me

[saxowebby]

id do the deal, sell the ka buy another coupe, and have some money left aswell

[Tupps]

http://www.hostapoco.net/immagini/SportKa_4.jpg

Funky imo

[leeroybrown]

PREFER the purple one tupps

[MK2SLAG]

it dosnt look all that bad tbh

[Raz]

Why not get a VTR? you were saying to me a while back you missed your old on...

You know how cheap the saxo is for parts etc.....

[Tupps]

Because ive had 2 saxo's.... and the bloek isn't offering a 2004 saxo with 25k miles and cash as a swap

[dsh85]

tupps and danny - girl power

[Raz]

Because ive had 2 saxo's.... and the bloek isn't offering a 2004 saxo with 25k miles and cash as a swap
true.....

Go for it....see what happens....tell us all how it went etc....

[MK2SLAG]

i would get the deal done,and id drive a ka no matter what people thought of it!!

[Tupps]

You know it girlfriend

[Zach]

It's strange, it nearly looks manly! The colour helps alot.


I say go for it! It looks OK tbh, not too girly.

End of the day.. if you keep it for 3/4 months you're likely going to be on a profit, and then in a better place than if you kept the coupe. Plus the bonus of whatever you get next will feel even better than just going from the coupe!

[Ruddy]

That KA does not style and profile...........

[josh1989]

Quick - It's either a 2 minute drive or a 15 minute walk, i'd rather spend the extra 15 minutes in bed



you can walk nearly 2 miles in 15 mins? how long are your legs?! :panic: :panic:

[dsh85]

all stereotypes apart if you think your on for a better deal and at making money then go for it, end of the day its just a car and your lookign to sell up at the moment anyway

like chris said use it as a step for a few months

[leeroybrown]

Danny i think you went in for a sex op

Knee op my arse!!!

[Danr]

If there's money to be made definately do it! You may have to drive around in a slower car etc. but as you said you'd be saving money by driving it and also make money when you sell it. Then you can afford a better car than the coupe.

Imo there's no question to be asked. Username change to KaTupps

[Jagztorious]

can't even believe your considering it...!

[Jamie]

Good deal imo

Agreed.

Mad if you was to then keep the Flee i mean KA

But Yeh, do the deal and sell and make profit or see whats the max you can get for your car.

[DaxVTR]

dont those cars have quick clear windscreen and aircon? there pretty loaded tbh

[Tupps]

Quick clear wind screen!!!!!

I'll keep it tbh!

[Raz]

Quick clear wind screen!!!!!

I'll keep it tbh!
hahaha

Have you spoke to the owner yet then tuppys?

[Chris]

Quick clear wind screen!!!!!

I'll keep it tbh!

Most new Fords have heated front windscreen.... Ford invented it, then copyrighted it, so no other car company can do it.

Chris :)

[Tupps]

My R reg puma had a quick clear wind screen

I loved that car!

[-Richard-]

i wouldn't have the ka tbh

[Predator_R32]

yes cos them cars suck bigtime

[Tupps]

I imagine a heated windscreen to cost a fortune when somebody hoy's a brick through it?

[leeroybrown]

Keeps your hands warm when pushing it though

[DaxVTR]

I imagine a heated windscreen to cost a fortune when somebody hoy's a brick through it?

yeah lol but its an extra gadget!

[Jackman]

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/383037.htm

And me.

Just do it !!!!

[MikeCracknell]

http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s221/MikeCracknell/upsdel.jpg

(sorry just trying out my new thread image ;) )

Hmmmmm, not sure tbh mate, just do it, if you don't like it you can always get something else ;)

[Crunkers]

Hey Tupps with those KA don't you get a free castration?

[dsh85]

cracknell - possibly the gayesy post ive ever seen, and image tp that matter

get a real job

[Luke]

How long till this one goes Tupps ;)

SportKa's are nice cars, driven one myself and I think they are fine for blokes to drive.

[-Jason-]

We test drove one for her before she got the del sol and they are nice cars lots of gadgets just do it whats the worst that could happen

[Jimmy-Boy]

Sounds like a good deal..

at the end of the day though it is a ford ka...

[Jazz]

Not as bad as people say tbh. Driven one a while back, and tbh they have a nicer gearbox, better cabin and more toys than my sax. Handle very nicely, good on fuel and nippy... even Evo magazine gave it a good review.

http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evocarreviews/35648/ford_sportka.html

[lavo-vts]

swap it man.

[Mrk1]

Even if you feel like your testicles have crept up inside your stomach everytime you drive it, it could always be swapped. It looks a very tidy example and despite it being a hairdressers car it would be better than sitting on the coupe and waiting for it to depriciate.

Gay Car + Cash = Sell gay car buy better smiles all around

Sit on the coupe for a while and go through the selling process again?

Up to you but i would pinch a deal right there and then.

[kylie]

i would neither buy sportka or keep coupe. i would sell coupe and buy saxo. smiles all round:drink:

[Jackman]

i would neither buy sportka or keep coupe. i would sell coupe and buy saxo. smiles all round:drink:

Are you seriously saying you'd have a Saxo over a Turbo Coupe?

[weetz]

Hmmm I think your coffee has been spiked.

Tupps I would e-punch you but I live too close and you might come and real punch me :P.

Actually I think you want to get the Ford Ka then say "Oh well I've got a Ford Ka might as get a sex change now."

Ulterior motives.

[Tupps]

Fuck it i'm keeping the coupe tbh

[Karl]

not a bad decision, pretty nice car.

[Raz]

im glad you seen sense tuppence.....

you know you love the turbo to much to swap for a hair dressers car!

[Tupps]

Update on the car situation....

Here's the latest swap i've been offered

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/405439.htm

The bloke originally wanted my car and £500 in his favour, i've managed to wangle him down to a straight swap - Book price on the gti180 is £5,600, looks a MINT example aswell

Looks like i may be caling in to see some of you Yorkshire boys

Tupps ftw

car looks smart tupps....ask JamieM for some info on the car....

do you really want rid of the coupe?

[Tupps]

It's not that i want rid, just some deals are too good to refuse

I'd also get rid of the turbo worries, STUPID fuel costs and i'd end up with a 53 plate low miled gti 180 that i'd paid £3,500 for

[Tupps]

[Karl]

Those brakes are regular 266mm GTI brakes,
the GTI180 has 283s.

POW!

[Audrey_D]

Oi, nothing wrong with the Kas!

On my site there are more male Sport drivers than female.

Excellent cars to drive...and they defo aint girly!

[Karl]

However, my Car check tells me its a 180...



Vehicle Check for NK53WYA
We have further important information about NK53WYA, a Peugeot 206 Gti 180.

[Japman]

been in a bank robery tbh

[SAM33R]

gay :y:

[Tupps]

I've emailed him to find out the jill and jack

[-Jason-]

Vin a plate switch me thinks lol

Only joking.

Are the seats etc not optional extras?

[Tupps]

Here's his reply to my email

Your right about the seats and the wheels, the previous owner changed them to cash in on them, but has put the half leather ones in anyway which are more comfortable.

The 180 came out in 2003.

I’ve done a full HPI check on the car and have spoken to Peugeot to confirm this is a genuine 180 GTI UK Car. Check the number plate online and this will prove it. You can also contact the DVLA to check as that is what I did.

I went through all this when I bought it mate, and basically, the previous owner decided to take out the seats, sell the alloys and put an aftermarket exhaust on.

[Japman]

seems odd to me

id do some more checks

too good to be true

[-Jason-]

Seems ok if the reasons are valid which they could be.

If its hpi clear as that car go for it bargain then get nice new seats and wheels if you want

[dsh85]

Any good?

[Jamie]

Hey no need to contact me im here,

That car belongs to someone on 206info,

He bought it and didnt know whever it was a 180 or GTI

It seems we came to the conclusion that the previous owner cashed in on all of the 180 components.

It is a genuine 180.

Unsure of its history though so id do a check on it if i were you,

I personally cant see why someone would cash in on all the 180 parts that make the 180 different from the normal GTI jobby.

Still a very nice car and quite quick as standard. Remap and they completely change.

Just buy some interior and alloys off ebay and your away it also needs a standard 180 backbox

Any questions im here :)

Heres his thread post

i dont know if that was aimed at me danny :P i was just saying, due to lee knowing a bit about cars, i would beleive some of the things he says...

Quick....did you get that of DVLA?

[dsh85]

parkers website raz. wasnt having a go at you just saying

he was right to question it though

[Quick]

Quick....did you get that of DVLA?

Yup, its a DVLA run site
http://www.vehiclelicence.gov.uk/EvlPortalApp/
The one where you can tax your car online, you can check some of a car details as long as you have make & registration number!

[Tupps]

Confirmed it is a genuine 180....

Would a straight swap be a good deal even without the 180 seats and wheels?

Bearing in mind it's a 53 plate and only has 30k miles?

I'll also do a bit of research on MikeyB :)

tbh mate...i would want a little cash your way....especially as he never mentioned anything before hand about it....

[Tupps]

MikeyB says:

I only paid £4,000 for it!

[Jamie]

Yep 4k

Try your luck with cash your way but dont be disapointed if you get rejected lol as although he only paid 4k its still worth more, he probably got a deal as the owner had already cashed in on the bits that would bump the price up

It would be a good deal imo but only because of what the car actually is, if it had a 138 in it id forget it.

It will still be a very nice car, just without the bits and bobs that distinguish the two models apart.

Debadge it and suprise some people lol

[dsh85]

haha he must be telling all his mates hes cashing in! catch 22

[lukedorritt]

topic has moved on now :P

yer i realised i just cudnt resist lol

[Tupps]

He claims....

It’s had 3 mate, the seats cost between £500 and £800, but the leather ones sell at £500 - £600.

Wheels will cost you £300 – £500 and you could sell the ones at £400.

I don't know what to do

[Raz]

Tupps....get the car....return it to the original car....sell it in the summer....sell at a profit :)

[Jamie]

Do the deal after a HPI Remap it and have some fun.

[Jamie]

Yeh im pretty sure i done a 'VTS' signature for him just late last year lol good o'l Tupps

[Raz]

hahaha lol i think he has had more cars than maybe most his family put together lol

the gti looks nice..but does need the original stuff put back in/on to it imo

Thread Hijack - Create me a sig Jamie :P

[dannyjay]

Swap it, and ride it as a sleeper!

180 wheels are gay anyway. ;)

[Tupps]

It comes with full HPI report

TBH it's still a good deal, no doubt i could stick 180 interior in and sell the current interior for almost as much

Probably near enough the same with the wheels

It's just a case of could i be arsed or not - or do i stick with the car i have and love to drive now

Sleeper is tempting - slightly gay but very tempting

Tupps, changes car's daily

do you get bored of cars really quick? it just seems to me you can never decide what you want to do etc....

[Japman]

faggot

dim turbo

you suck

[Dan]

I wouldnt personally, seems a little strange to me

[Tupps]

I get bored of everything easy, women, cars, jobs

I'm just a fussy f*cker

Change is good, keeps the juices flowing

Thought you might Jay. ;) Haha.

I've just had a fall out with French Cars, think its over for us! :zainy:

I know what you mean sometimes, Not about the alloys (the whole french thing) But ive found its a love hate always is.. (i generally start to talk crap around 3pm)

Ok mate no worries :)

[Hopcraft]

a KA, LOLZ

[Jamie]

a KA, LOLZ

Threads moved on since then matey :P

Hes been offered a 206 now

[Karl]

Theres a reason why he wants to swap.
yours is better.
dont do it.
172 or Bust tbh.

[Tupps]

I like your thinking Karl

[Jamie]

Maybe then that 180 but id never dream of swapping a standard spec 180 for it..

[Karl]

Dont Renaults generally hold their value better than Peugeots?

[Jamie]

Hmm this threads going to start going ghey soon.

Each to there own.

[Karl]

Im not trying to start a 206 GTI 180 vs Clio Sport war.

Was just trying to get Tupps to steer away from a somewhat "shifty" 180.

[Jamie]

Eye thats fair enough i took it the wrong way. Ive been in a strop for the last couple of days so just ignore me.

It does seem shifty.

But who knows maybe it will be ligit...

[Tupps]

Thinking about it

The sale'ability of that 180 isn't the best, anybody who's after a gti 180 actually wants a gti 180.... not a 180 with 138 interior etc

Questions will always be asked about tha car tbh!

[Karl]

Exactly what I mean,
you're only in it for the dollar for that 206,
and your dollar will be cut when the cars a lesser spec than standard. :D

[Jamie]

Not unless you get the bits sorted.. could still be quids in.

say you get the exchange and its ligit..

Sell of the bog standard gti stuff and swap for the 180 parts..

[Karl]

Hassle though isnt it JamieM?

...Tupps, try to wangle a 172 out of someone. :P

or how much cash will the Astra make you?

[Tupps]

I'll keep the coupe till a GREAT deal comes along

The 180 deal was great untill i discovered it was a lesser spec

I don't mind keeping the coupe for a while :)

172 would be an option though mate

[Jamie]

Hassle but if you make money in the end surely its worth it?

All depends on how much you make.

Keep the coupe.

Wait for another deal

[Japman]

172 or 182 seems to be the way forward

[Karl]

172 or 182 seems to be the way forward

Hell yes. :)
cant wait to get out of work! Shes been staring @ me from the carpark all day.

[Japman]

The pic in the avatar

is that it

[Tupps]

*Falls asleep at work*

EDIT - A 172 would be good on petrol compared to the coupe

EDIT* - Post # 172

A Sign maybe?

LolZ

[Jamie]

lol you'll only get a 172 a few months later a thread will appear ' what to get next 172 bad on petrol' or im bored lol

[Karl]

if I knew how to monitor mpg in it, Id say, only just bloody figured out that the steering wheel has cd controls.

No it isnt it Gav, it is a 172 cup in blue though.

[Tupps]

In the coupe i just flick through the screens on my on board computer, tells me all i need to know :)

[Raz]

good luck tuppence.

[Karl]

Everything is new to me, all Ive driven is Saxo's,
the wipers you press downwards to make them work,
they go the opposite way to my Saxo,
the window switch is on the door.

My whole worlds been blown apart.
Not only that, I have real size pedals now!! :fcuk:

[Tupps]

C ya Jamie

Thanks for your input mate

[Tupps]

Because you have a real car now

hahaha

youve found a love for cars again?

[Jamie]

No problem.

Im sure you have made the right one with sticking with the coupe tbh.

I think although hes off the main 206 forum i wouldnt trust anyone. If it was a normal spec 180 id say take his hand off. Seems a bit suspect. Who buys a car they know nothing about then posts he got it cheap on forums and what is it.

Anyway cya

[Tupps]

I bought this for 10k - wooooo

What is it?!?!?!

[Mikey]

you got a 180?

[Tupps]

No no no

You need to rrreeeeeeeeeead it

[Mikey]

172??

??

[Tupps]

Update 12.03.08

Latest thing i've been offered is.....

Straight swap on a

A phase 2 clio sport ff 172

iceberg silver
with 49700 miles
full service history
16" standard wheels which really suit the car with 4 very good continental contisport tyres on
climate control
6 disc changer
half leather half sued seats
xenon automatic headlights
stealth power flow exhaust

I've asked for some pics

[leeroybrown]

All sounds good

Get the pics then if your are interested HPI it bud!

[jamie_k]

go for it ;)

[Karl]

hah! nice,
what reg?

[Tupps]

2001 it is.... phase 2

[Karl]

so 51 plate then.
Nice.
Not a bad deal.
will save on fuel atleast Tuppence!?
That car he's offered you sounds like its worth approx 4,5-5k.
Being HPi clear + good condition that is!

Make sure the steering wheel is in good nick when you buy it lol.
They melt. :P

[Tupps]

No way its worth 5k

You see 2001 172's on piston heads for 4k and less with decent miles

it'd be a good deal yes, i'm waiting for pics

[Karl]

Find me a link to a decent ph2 172 on a 51 plate with approx 50k.
thats 4k ;)

[leeroybrown]

Steering wheel melt emmmm.

On the older phase 1's yes, never ever seen them do it on phase 2

[Japman]

plenty on pistonheads for that price

sounds a good deal tho

this will turn into clioexperience

[Karl]

Serious leeroy, read into this.
Drivers steering wheels dont melt but seriously degrade.

[Tupps]

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/413627.htm - speedo fault with that though

Infact, they seem to be making decent money

[Karl]

Speedo fault,
Renault charge bloody loads for repairs/maintenence...

If this guys one is as true and clean as a whistle, I say swap imo.

Renaultsport brothers.
Then you can come on track @ FCS......

[Clouds_mate]

FCS? he wont even have it then. He will of swapped cars two more times and will be driving a mini

[Karl]

haha true story.

[Dan]

Not a bad deal, if all is ok I would seriously consider it

[-Jason-]

Not a bad deal is its all straight and true

[grantlowery]

172's need Turinis

[Raz]

get pics up tuppence....

[Tupps]

I would if i had some Raz, as i said i've asked for some

[Raz]

I would if i had some Raz, as i said i've asked for some
where about is the 172 based?

[Karl]

172's need Turinis

True that brother.

[Tupps]

[leeroybrown]

[Jazz]

Sounds nice mate, back to the hot-hatch brigade then. :y:

[s3an]

nice gratz :)

[Tupps]

Well the 172 is 0-60 in 6.9 which is the same as my turbo

I'll have no turbo worries, better economy and a better handling car

Also something that i can bring to FCS (if i have it that long)

[Luke]

How long you gonna keep this one?

Change cars more than me.

[Tupps]

I've still not found a car that i've totally liked since my zetec s

Was nippy, good insurance, good economy and not oncomfy

With the coupe i have turbo worries, 24mpg... apart from that i love it

Hopefully the clio will return better mpg and its a good spec car should put a smile on my face

[Hopcraft]

good choice tbh.. id have one.

[Luke]

I had same problem as you, found it hard to find a car I liked since the VTR. OK so I have gone diesel now, but I love the car (or shall I say, I will do once the garage have got the fingers out of there arses to fix it properly).

As far as I am aware, they are as good as a VTS for fuel.

[Tupps]

my vts returned 80 mile to a tenner

at the minute i get 90 mile or so to £20 in the coupe

172 + fcs = happy days

[leeroybrown]

road trip coming on i feel

[Luke]

my vts returned 80 mile to a tenner

at the minute i get 90 mile or so to £20 in the coupe

172 + fcs = happy days

Sounds like my old Focus, I was getting 21mpg.

44 miles to a tenner on average.

[Tupps]

Yeah thats what im getting now Luke

Looking forward to the 172

Just waiting for the whole deal to go tits up now

[Sisqo]

Tupps stop with the clios :P saxo FTW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[-Jason-]

Hope it all goes well

[VTR_Nick]

Nice one mate, Good luck and hope it all goes through smoothly :y:

[Tupps]

Just got another email about the car.... Don't panic the 172 deal is all go for the 28th of this month

This is what another person just emailed me!

hi mate fancy a swap for
http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/413061.htm
very econmical 35-45 mpg

[leeroybrown]

TBH mate i cant see you in a stripped clio cup tbh, i think you like your comforts to much i would prefer the 172 ff.

Unless you want a real drivers car with no toys what so ever, then go with the 172 cup

[Tupps]

I imagine he'll want some cash his way mate

172 FF For the win

Got his postcode mate so i'll see how far we have to travel - we're meetin him half way

[leeroybrown]

Cool if its only 65 mile will take us about a hour

[Karl]

Lushhhh,
Clioperience member #3!

ps, my Clio is better on fuel in every way than my Saxo.
I cant tell you how much im loving it,
only thing i miss about the saxo is the low to the ground feel...

Oh, and the fact i owned the Saxo outright and I still owe some $ on the Clio isnt a good feeling too :D

[Raz]

photo shoot tuppence once purchased?

[Tupps]

Will do mate

Just done an insurance quote there

£630.... pleased with that considering its group 16

[Karl]

Dead jealous, mines 1k dearer than that.
Mind, mine is more to insure as its a Cup :D

[Raz]

Will do mate

Give me a shout if you want another passenger to go down with ;):P:y:

[dannyjay]

Bahhh french crap. :P

[Tupps]

Soulless get some xenons and autowipers tbh : )

Good choice :)

[Karl]

Soulless get some xenons and autowipers tbh : )



There some nice wheels you have tupps.
Im soooooo jealous. :D

[Tupps]

How much could i sell them for

Brand new conti sport contact 2's all round ?

Speedlines ftw

[grantlowery]

Ive Just checked ebay, theres a set at £97 with mixed tyres in fairly good condition, 3 days left, I would say £250-300 if there in really good nick

[Hopcraft]

rather a non cup and turn it partially into a cup :o :o :o

[Karl]

rather a non cup and turn it partially into a cup :o :o :o

what would be the point?
more weight to start with etc.


.....what you want is a Cup, and just put Trophy recaros in it.
done deal.

Tupps, expect no more than £250.
you prob wont find any 172 cup turini's about, will have to buy aftermarket ones.
