Dish Posted 26, October 2011 Report Share Posted 26, October 2011 Neat-o! Welcome, and sounds like the bug has bitten. Will the 172 be staying as a plaything? Cheers, Dish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemz Posted 26, October 2011 Report Share Posted 26, October 2011 Welcome Rod and congrats on the new purchase. You'll love the RS 200 - it's brilliant. I've had mine since January and it keeps getting better. Hope your ownership is as joyfull. Don't worry about those comments - it's only a "girls' car" 'till they ride shotgun through some twisties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNGTR Posted 26, October 2011 Author Report Share Posted 26, October 2011 Thanks guys The little 172 is sold already .... She goes to a new home on Saturday, but i'll be sure to tell the new owner of this place. The 200 isnt set in stone yet, wifey has to give the go ahead of course! But i'll be going shopping hopefully the next weekend I have off. Looking around they arent exactly thick on the ground, in Vic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemz Posted 26, October 2011 Report Share Posted 26, October 2011 Sales have suffered since the RS250 has come out so the dealers aren't importing as many, according to a Renault insider. Which colour are you in the market for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RNGTR Posted 12, November 2012 Author Report Share Posted 12, November 2012 UPDATE. Just on 12 months since Ive posted here, since then Ive separated from my wife of 17 years, sold off all my Toys ( VE2 SS, Golf GTI.. to the ex Grrr... and the Clio ) and Im starting again.... So, I reckon I need a Nice 172 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dish Posted 12, November 2012 Report Share Posted 12, November 2012 Wow, a lot happens in a year huh? Sorry to hear about all that As for finding a nice 172, they keep popping up but you have to be quick to nab a good'un. All the best. Cheers, Dish.

RNGTR Posted 12, November 2012 Author Report Share Posted 12, November 2012 Sure does Dish ! A year is a long time. Having to sell off the toys due to the separation doesn't worry me too much, you can always buy em again I possibly might be able to buy back my old 172.... Word is the owner wants out. So I'll be chasing that up over the coming weeks. Picked up a nice BA XR6 Turbo as a daily the other day, 9 years old with just 69000 ks too....
