Went and bought a 172 last night as a winter runaround as im sick of using my van all the time.
Im really impressed with it, proper nippy little car, was getting 37mpg last night, and for the money you can't go wrong.
I should have bought one of these instead of the Cossie, I'd have been rich now

That is all
