Re: Is it time to sell up????
yeah 13 . Thing is when i've got power i have to use it. I can't see the point in having a quick car and not going quick so it's high boost everywhere. That's why the 172 seems good to me as it's still quite quick, should put a smile on my face but at lower speeds and using less fuel. Also i have a...

Re: Is it time to sell up????
Well my thinking is that i'm now gonna be doing more miles and i get about 13mpg from the tubby. Plus if i do look to change again the 172 would prob be an easyer car to shift on. Also yes my 2 has been faultless upuntill now but i get the feeling it's gonna start costing more and more to keep going...

Is it time to sell up????
Been thinking about moving on from my tubby for a few weeks now. I still love the car to death but what with insurance costs, fuel and the rapidly falling value's of 2's at the moment I'm starting to think about getting rid. Been offered a nice Clio 172 cup in a straight swop.........but do i do it?...

Re: Nürburgring lap times
Yeah I've seen that myself but thought it to be rather slow.
The new Renault Megane can do it in 8:17 so i would expect a tubby to get fairly close to that.

Can't see why it wouldn't fit a 2 unless you've got a massive wing. It's back at my olds at the moment so can't test it for y...
