Yippee!! I found one!!

Just had to come straight home and tell you all....

I'm sure most of you are aware of my predicament after my rolling of my dear 172. I've been searching ever since, and i got emailed yesterday by a dealer who saw my 'wanted' ad. He'd just come into possession of a Black 2003 RS 172 with 25,000km on the clock (YES 25K ) which he was preparing for sale and thought I might be interested.  It was sold new from Renault Galerie as well. Obviously I was, and I took it for a drive this morning, and promptly placed a deposit on it. He's going to touch up a few stone chips, and put it in for a Renault servicing at Archibald & Shorters for the price. It does have the slightly ugly Remus double exhaust on it, so I may return to stock in time, but I'm just happy to end up in a fast frog again...

No pics yet, but they will follow in good time...

I'm so happy!!

Good man that's awesome!  Well done!

Good shit, black will look deadly.

Does this one have Electronic Stability Control or some kind of a "you're driving funny "warning system? 

[Esprit]

Good to hear Now make sure you keep this one shiny side up

ESP doesn't work so well when all four wheels are in the air....l:-D

I shall endeavour to keep this one right way up. I can't handle the stress of driving a 4 speed automatic for several months again.

I'm thinking Gunmetal or Black 16" Alloys...

[CaM]

did you get your other wreck for parts?

[aerorobnz]

No. It was sold. I didn't think I'd be able to get another one, so I never bothered.

[rolly]

good stuff,

another 75k on the clock and it will be run in.

Hmmm low kays and remus twin exhaust - wonder if it's the one that we looked at before getting ours - a guy on Waiheke owned it and it never got used as it stayed this side of the water.

Can't say I'm a fan of the exhaust either

So glad you found one

[Apex]

i say go do this!

RS's are built Ford Tough! Mine feels tight like a tiger at 70odd.

Yea, long story but she brought a rally drive day package for he husband and he nnver used it so she took it. Fast as in her 1.4 Nissan Pulsar now.

I want to do one if anyone is keen, its bloody expensive though.

Piss off with your "Rally Drivers Best Drivers" wind up! The Girl Racer Vid showes what its like is all..minus the hotness women.

If my sister was on that show I would wish I had grown up in Waiuku. Annette is my fave, Google her at your own peril, especially her FHM shoot. Mmmmmm.

I would be keen to do that rally School, im pushing for combined Christmas and birthday presents from the old lady like I did for a Transformer toy as a 5 year old. 

[K-Bar]

^^ lol  looks mean though. i would be keen forthe one day course front wheel drive!

Maybe we should block book a fast frogs corporate event and see if we could get a discount...

My new RS. It drives very well, certainly am happy with the purchase. Drove it back from Henderson behind a Maserati Quattroporte 4.7 GT-S. It's Exhaust note made everyone within 100m of it inadequate. My Remus exhaust is quite loud compared to stock, but nothing compared to the crackling vocals from the Mazza... To be honest i can see myself changing the exhaust at some point, I envisage it becoming cop/racer bait because it is pretty obvious.. ktec stealth II/stock is more my style, but I'd have been foolish to not buy the car cos of the exhaust..

[Griffe]

Wow nice car!  You've done exceptionally well!  Exhausts look like handlebars

Whats the plans for it?
