What is it about Valvers/Willams....

[Mish_16V]

However much shite they give you and however much money you throw at them why do you end up always loving them so much?

Had mine since end of feb/March now and it's already had a new gearbox mount, rebuilt gearbox, cambelt/fanbelt, 2 track rod ends to name but a few bits and everytime it pisses me off I "think" about selling it.

Then either I fix it, or it returns from the mechanic, i get in it, go for a good drive and just fall in love with it all over again- argh why is it so hard to stay angry at them!

Incidentally this is also the longest i think i've owned a car, and i've only been driving just over 2 years. No write offs, and all my cars have been nice and modified how i wanted them, but they've always been sold on through boredom and yet the valver always ends up putting a massive smile on my face everytime i look at it/drive it :D

Know exactly what you mean. Every time something major has gone wrong I think "right this time i'll fix it and sell it its pissing me off too much" but as soon as its done and i've taken it out for a drive I dont think i'd ever sell it lol.

See ya

:D i no wot you mean had 2 my self my secound is a low miler and just had front shokers/springs done.. but still love it still got a slight nosie near front drivers side but still love it..

ps still taking the piss out of them tdi crappers.. they think they are driveing a cossy

Its because they've got a presence on the road like no modern hatchbacks have. Most modern sporty hatches (LCRs, CTRs etc) come up behind you and it looks exactly like any other base model hatch. When a 16v/Willy comes up behind you its recogniseable and they look mental. Apart from Evos/Imprezas massive bonnet vents and wide arches just dont happen on production cars any more lol.

See ya

i love my valver, and ive had it 2 weeks. just smiles every time :D

[Mish_16V]

This is going to make me sound like an idiot lol but i also seem to get alot more respect driving it than with any of my other 'modded' motors...

I had a brand new mini cooper S owner and a lad with an R1 bike come and talk to me about it the other day at a garage as they'd heard me pull up and said it sounded and looked so nice for such an oldish type hatch. I love the reaction they give...

If i had money i'd buy another lmao, glad it's just not me who's besotted by them though! :D

[James Clio 16v]

Totally agree, the gearbox has just gone on mine again, 2nd time in a month! Don't buy 2nd hand gearboxes btw, and I love it.

I can't wait to get it fixed and back on the road, it's addictive.
