14.5k for a boggo abarth, half down now, half down in two years time at 0%apr. These things hold their value so well that 10 plate ones with average milage are going for 11k+, so to make the mental leap up to a new one isnt much of a stretch. Ive got about 9k to spend on a car, including a 1k...

Funnily enough, me too. I got cut up by one the other day and rather than exploding in impotent rage I thought 'wow, they actually look pretty cool'. Probably going to do the 50/50 deal in august.

When I was younger, I did used to take haggle money into account and price accordingly. Autotrader price and the price you are prepared to sell it for. I just find its easier to put the latter price in straight from the get go now. I think a high starting price does put people off phoning to...

£2.2k will get you a newer PH2 with similar or no miles. As a general rule of thumb, to save messing about, I usually try to price cars I sell less than the next man. For example, last time I sold a car it was my old CTR. Looked on all the usual sites and put it at a sniff less than the most of...

My mates next door neighbour passed away last year and during the clearout he bought her 1983 granada off her son, 2.5k on the clock, had been in the garage for god knows how long and was absolutely immaculate. A proper old woman spec, i.e the salesman got her to tick every box in the brochure...

Mine got louder and louder until yesterday the back box fell off going over a speedbump. Sounds like a mustang at a Who concert now. Funnily enough, its an 02 172, when I went into the garage to get a quote for getting a new one fitted, the mechanic was amazed the original had last 9 years.

Just take it back

Lol. I shunted a mini this week and got a Mitsu Colt 1l as a courtesy car. First time I drove it, I nearly kicked the pedal through the f**king floor.

The point is that it would me nice if it were a massive product with its own identity.

atm its just a massive iPod touch.

Small wheels are cheaper wheels.

nitrous? Jesus!

Maybe he fancies aircon and abs for the winter?

I sold my CTR to a guy who exports hondas to malta. Even after he has paid around 800 to have it shipped out, he reckoned he will still make at least 1500-2000 on it.

With the amount of Stig merchandise on the shelves, theres no way that he wont be white.

Yes, in that Ive lived there for about 4 years. Started off in yorkshire and have been sliding down the country ever since. Actually, who do you use for servicing, repairs and other odd jobs? Not being a local im still trying to find a garage that dont send my car back in a worse state than...

The new ones pretty good *shrugs*

Im not 40, but at 31 im paying £400 for a 52 plate 172 with Aviva.

The problem with buying a white iPhone is that you have to go all in and buy the matching stilettos and handbag.

Yeah, def RB Blue. They are kind of hard to miss!! Im usually turning left, so theres a couple of lines of traffic in between and the monacos dont exactly pop like an RB. I'll give you a flash (of the lights) next time.

I work in eynsham and drive a monaco blue 172, but I dont go down the eynsham road. And this morning I followed a beemer in. Triki, its usually about 5.45pm-ish.

Im terrible with mine. Kind of like a doctor who smokes and drinks, im an apple engineer who leaves his MBP plugged in all the time, never turns it off and rarely backs up. I think im subconsciously rebelling.

Its a capable machine alright. Pretty robust. We get hardly any in here, which im not sure if its because they are really reliable or if they sold bugger all. One of last machines with user servicable parts too, before they started putting random guage torx screws in there to stop people taking...

Batteries are 300 cycles or one year, so it will still be covered. Macbooks are funny. They are so close in spec to the 13" MBP that they had to hobble them with no firewire port and put them back in a plastic case.

I think ive also seen you driving about if you are the one that I occasionally pass at the lights by mcdonalds. Youre usually coming out of witney when im coming back in from work.

I was uhming and ahing about whether to get a 172 or a 172 cup and I figured that for all the track days I get to now and the amount of 'real' driving you have the opportunity do, losing Aircon and ABS just isnt worth the extra 0.2secs and the slightly better handling. The kit level actually...

I had a bad day last week. Got in my car to come home from work and found the passenger side wing mirror had been spanked by a something white, leaving it scuffed and then, as I was still cursing that my rear passenger side tire completely blew out on the dual carriageway, about a quarter of the...

Yeah, when I sold my CTR, I had most bites from Autotrader. Get a shot of the interior in there and a shot of it in front of a house. When all the shots are in a car park, you expect to get mugged at knife point if you ever went to view it. The problem with the price is that you havent really...

I think the point is that you are losing what some people would consider pretty important kit for a negligable, if any, increase in performance in the models mentioned.

Interestingly (or not) the new magic trackpad is *exactly* the same size as the excised numpad and cursor keys and makes the small keyboard the same size as the full size one. It was kind of dissapointing that they didnt think of a way to actually attach the two together as they are literally...
