Andy93 Posted 19, March 2012 Report Share Posted 19, March 2012 Hey Guys, Some of you may have seen my wanted thread, now I'm proud to announce I have a 'Dec 01 Ph2 172 all of my own. Growing up in the U.K I've always had a soft spot for these little beasts, but I've fallen in love even quicker than I expected! The handling and straight line speed are beggar's belief, definitely makes the "girl's car" crowd eat their words. She's my daily driver and takes it all in her stride. I'm a young bloke but I'm big on preventative maintenance and mechanical sympathy, heading over to see Paul at AP Automotive for a service and to get a few small issues inspected/sorted out tomorrow. Looking forward to getting down to some meets & cruises in the near future to put faces to names. Anyway, here are some pics... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
