    Mot'er though valver was williams!

    Hi chaps

    This is the 2nd time someone has actually assumed my car is a williams, and only another mk1 clio owner in a petrol station identified it as a valver when trying to sell me parts lol.

    Just thought it was kinda funny really.

    At least you don't get the "Nice Skyline Mate!" when your driving a S14a 200SX! Totally different car, but still built by Nissan.

    No wonder the guy on the phone said yesterday when thinking it was a Williams, "I bet it shifts with that engine". Now I realise what he was thinking... but I was thinking I wish it would shift lol.

    When my car broke down I had the dreaded...'you do know the williams is exactly the same as the 1.8 - just its bored out right?'.... oh dear.
