The worlds best kept secret is out.

I recently got transfered to a new section of work which is 50 miles away. As i dont want to travel that far in the Williams everyday i had a problem. Ive been looking for a new car.

Fortuitously, i have found someone who is prepared to do a swap with a mark 2 172 (plus 1000 quid from me). She has had a change in circumstances too and no longer needs her car to get to work.

Bit gutted, but i still have my other Williams. Swapping the cars over this weekend.


So Jill is the new owner of Williams 0200, and i now own a black 172. With leather. :D

you serious!? why downgrade, 172's are sloooooow m8!!!

this is either a wind up or you have lost the plot, as I though you had 200 to potter about in!?!?

Yeah but 50 miles to work? Its along way in a car that hurts my back and feet.

Hope shes local!?

So how come you got such a good deal on the 172? I was under the impression that 0200 was of average Williams condition? Or have you got 2 minters?

I'm seriously thinking about changing the Williams already to get something newer like a 172, i only have it as my everyday runabout car, which its great fun for, but im always worried about things breaking!

I think Fatboy needs to check who has hacked into Stromba's account and posted this troll bait :)

well if you have swapped your a fool, and Jilly has got herself a great deal, as 172's are going to be worth spit in 2 years... also if the Williams hurst to drive for long periods why get a car the same size with similar driving position :shock:

sorry m8 but if i was worried about racking up miles or comfort for that money (well, prolly less) you could have something like a Vectra GSI... pretty quick, look okay too... okay its a Vaux and they are shit still, but it's more car for the money... or even an older 5 series?

The driving postion in the 172 is far more uncomfortable than the Willy, i'm 6'3 and much prefer driving the Willy than I did my old 172 cup.

And im always worried something will break.

Oh dear, please tell me this isn't true!

when I thought about a 172 you told me not to do it. Oh well hopefully have a willie 2 now tho so all works out well in the end.

So is this true Rob?????

On the topic of 172's, there are some cheap ones on Autotrader this week, Silver mk1, 63k miles, £3,000 and a blue mk2, 42k miles, £4,875. Both had light damage repaired but even so, still cheaper than most Williams would be with those kind of milages

Ask Jill its true,.

26-04-2005, 14:38
you said you were going to start winding forums up one by one so i don't think we believe you in the slightest! :P

I think he could be serious........ there's a forum user on here by the name of Jill....... checked out her photo album on line, shows her black mk2 172 which has just very recently gone back to standard....... plus she's staying at the same hotel as Rob before FCS

:shock: :o :shock:

Although he's just let slip that he's taking 0200 to Nurenberg in June!! Hmm

KingStromba
26-04-2005, 15:12
But as im going with Jill, it kind of makes sense.

J o n
26-04-2005, 15:22
Jill's obviously seen sense :lol:

Rob however... has lost the plot... :?

Whilst I reckon it's all a wind up still.

Even on the 1 in 50billion chance he did, he'd never tell us for the shame.

Well Jill will take your place on the stand then! As for you, you can buy some lexus lights and go on the chavosport stand.

Traitor to the cause. :roll:
