ph-purchase roadtrip...

[Nafoff]

well as zmaster2k has shown on this very forum i was carless from friday evening onwards, but hopefully not for too long, on the saturday was the 400 mile round trip to hopefully purchase my new car...here's how it went.

left home (somerset) at 9am
me and danlp6 in his stripped, bucketed valver

landmarks for reference

the compulsury (sp) M3 fleet services pee stop

the 197 we saw on the M25, he didn't want to play sadly, maybe because they all looked like hairdressers

dartford tunnel (dan's valver sounded gorgeous in here, got the elise driver looking)

then this monstosity, the driver thought i was taking a picture because it looked good, he was smiling away.....fool

then the viewing........kilmards 172

the contemplation and insurance call

after the purchase...

i am a happy camper

 

[Alan]

Fine example, nice one mate.

 

[Jamie]

How did it compare to dans valver?

 

[ukaskew]

Nice pics, I see what you mean about that er, "thing" on the road now, hideous

Loving the car in the metal (and Justin's), quite jealous!

 

[Beef-Mc]

Looks awesome

 

[JR]

f**king hell, how dirty is it now in comparison lol.


sorry i couldnt do the honours bud with the lift and all.


Cheers chris, well as i said you will be invited to the meet when neil,ads and myslef sort something out.

 

[Christopher]

[Day]

After all those questions, about bloody time!

Looks like a minter Neil :approve:

 

[Gumby]

Looks like something form "Space 1999" hehe

Nice 172 by the way!

 

[Rob R26r]

the body kit on the saxo looks a bit like the one the hamster put on his bmw on top gear when they went grass track racing

[Tucks]

Dude! Your looking Ghey in the 1st pic.

 

[Nafoff]

cheers tucks, love you too

it was a fiesta chaps...lol

jamie - compared to dans valver power wise, we didn't really rag it as i don't know the car but on one section of the way home we were alongisde and in 3/4th he pulled initally but then the 172 pulled past easily.

totally different car to drive though

is quite dirty now though, will get a good clean

 

[Ads_172]

Totally, totally average.

And I'm completely, utterly jealous.

Get the 'shoot arranged SW Area Reps and get Mr. Award-winning-photographer along to get some pictures.

Oh, and the one thing I would change - the Ph-Quick stickers, doesn't suit the standard-ness IMO.

 

[Nafoff]

nah i am debating them ads......lol...

 

[mini-valver]

Lovely car mate, mk2 goodness
Enjoy it......

 

[Limca]

after the purchase...

i am a happy camper

looks great matey

 

[cat171]

Nice one car looks great I thought it would be a good un as kmillard (sp) always seems to have clean motors.

That fiesta is just laughable tbh, proper fast car mag type of crap

LMFAO at that Fiesta/Saxo/306 abomination.

How the f*** could you ever let yourself be seen driving that?

 

[Nafoff]

glad you all like it people,

 

[Djw John]

Not jealous at all, no honestly, Im happy with my 1.6 litreness............................................

 

[R20 CWH]

[Nafoff]

44410 when i purchased it, slightly more when i got home...lol

 

[kpowell911]

that fiesta won Most Outrageous Bodywork award at Modded Nat's this weekend.

 

[Nafoff]

did they notice the wonky exhaust?

 

[bass_direct]

nice car mate, and nice valver

that fiesta lives about 10 minutes from me, it used to be green lol

isn't that the 197 owned by performance french cars (pgti)

 

[Matteh]

Looks good mate!


Good to see Dan does actually have some free time though!

 

[Djw John]

I was thinking that too!

 

[Daniel]

Nice one 'bone......

All you need now is a cup splitter, silvervisions, and some turinis

Keep it original my love, it looks awesome.

Oh, and for the record, the biggest mistake i ever made was selling my ph-1 172.

 

[Rich_16v]

Congrats mate... looks a great example with good mileage

Any plans for it?

I'm a 172 owner again aswell as of last saturday

 

[Christopher]

glad to hear it Rich

now get some progress pics up!

 

[Nafoff]

i have a few little plans for it yes, they will initially all be subtle but then i may get into some more elaborate mods

dan - i was thinking about a cup splitter mate (will maybe talk to you) also some silvervisions, some new mats for it....all little bits really

i am loosing the gdi stickers and am debating the ph-quick stickers, what do people think?
