Why did you buy a valver

[Winston]

I bought one because it was the fastested insurance group 12 car...and I like cars with fat arches, also a huge fan of escort cosworths

[2 live]

mine was a toss up between a willy, valver, gtir, cyborg, or 323 turbo 4wd mazda

the valver was the only one i was wlling to pay the insurance quote on being a tight fisted yorkshireman lol

2 years later i got the willy.....havent looked back since......altho the valver was a mint motor loved evry second of it, but it never turned a wheel after i got the willy

Wanted one ever since i bought my 1.2 clio at 17!!!

10mths ago at 19 i finally got one!!!

The target for my 3rd cars a P1

Shame il have to wait a good few years yet for that one!!!Lol

Always loved mk1 clio's and even before the clio i think i loved the 5 turbo more!

However bought a mk1 phase 1 1.4rt and then had that for a year realised i could insure a valver and went ahead.

My choices were between a valver, 5 turbo, 106 GTI and RST,

in the end for the money the valver was one of the cheapist to buy and insure, also my parents didn't want me getting a 5 as they heard they can cause a lot of trouble, GTI were a bit pricey and RST ill have to wait and get a series 1 eventually! think they look awsome!

However feel i've picked the best out of the bunch and she still puts a smile on my face!

I was looking to change from my old dci when I went to Oulton in the Kermanators. From then on it was between that and a Xsara VTS.

In the end insurance and cost to buy meant I plumped for the Valver.

I've had 2 valvers now. I opted for a valver first time round on sheer looks alone. didn't really know much about the performance of them. When I picked it up I was amazed.

My current valver I went for because I was already in love with the car/performance and just wanted the best colour available.

Another reason for buying a valver was, (don't get me wrong i'm not into big bodykits) but you can get away with light exterior modifications to a valver. IMHO you would be mad to do it to a Williams. So now i've got a Naples valver with soon to be light exterior mods and a 2.0 engine on the horizon. Therefore i've got in my eyes i've got the best of both worlds and still only group 12 insurance. Plus Hybrids for some reason tend to produce more power and faster times, I can't explain that though.

TBH....I was disapointed with my valvers speed when i first got it..My mate had an Astra GTE 16V, I was exspecting it to be as fast and raw, it was rapid. The valver wasn't a patch on the power and feel of raw speed

But got used to the lack of low down revs. just had to rag it more lol

[Waitey]

I got my valver to be different. You don't see many about. They look great and are fairly rapido too! Its fun having people ask you 'Where do you get that bodykit from? it looks mint!'
