Imported Mustache Posted 3, June 2014 Report Posted 3, June 2014 Hi all! Just discovered this forum recently and slightly being tempted back into 172 ownership haha. A few years ago I had a flame red Ph1 172 (forgot which number unfortunately) until it hit a pothole and decided to blow its gearbox. Had a 205 GTI before it and since then mucked around with VW/Audi's but recently convinced a friend to get himself a ph2 172 and fell in love with them all over again which led me here. I'm being irresponsible by flirting with the idea of getting a 172 as a second car At the time I wasn't really a fan of the Ph1 looks and always lusted after a Ph2 but I feel I may have seen the error of my ways haha so I may or may not be on the hunt for one in the not to distant future Unfortunately this is one of the few pictures I have of it, ended up in a ditch when ABS decided to kick in at about 5km/h when doing a U turn on gravel and ripped off my front bar when taking the 16 hour "scenic route" from Melbourne to Sydney via Thredbo a few years ago Quote
R182 Posted 3, June 2014 Report Posted 3, June 2014 Welcome back ... you'll be joining the queue with a few other members if you are particularly seeking a phase 1. Quote
Matt205 Posted 3, June 2014 Report Posted 3, June 2014 It's getting to the point where we'll need to put a Gentlemans agreement in place when certain cars come up for sale! Dibs on 28! Just do it, particularly if its a second car. Damn familiar story this though! Quote
Moosey Posted 3, June 2014 Report Posted 3, June 2014 Great story! Welcome from another Phase 1 tragic. Do you remember which number you had? Quote
R182 Posted 3, June 2014 Report Posted 3, June 2014 ... Ph1 172 (forgot which number unfortunately) ... Quote
walkie86 Posted 3, June 2014 Report Posted 3, June 2014 Welcome mate. Great photo, that. Hope to see you back in RSC soon Quote
Imported Mustache Posted 25, August 2014 Author Report Posted 25, August 2014 Looking through some old photos recently I discovered it was number 23, anyone on here know its whereabouts if it's still on the road? Quote
wade Posted 25, August 2014 Report Posted 25, August 2014 The register on the forum says that 23 was silver..... And is owned by a member You sure it was 23? Quote
