    Ex-197 owner seeks 172/182.

    Should I get one?

    Hello, I bought a FF 197 3 days ago. Prior to this I had a Flyin Miata FM2 Mx5 (234BHP, 200 torks) I needed something fun, fast, chuckable, trackday worthy, but with a boot. My short experience so far is that the 197 has a fantastic chassis, plenty of grip, and lots of smiles per gallon. The...

    Newbie looking for a 197.

    Hi guys, just for info (if you're selling something) - I only have upto 8k to spend. Ideally needs to have climate control, not too fussed about colour, and should be in good order. Cheers
