    Tried every option. Parallel suits my driving style & was very compliant on track. No wear issues either. Some of us try options rather than follow the crowd =D>

    Trophy values?

    Where do you see these going? Year or so ago 10K was the going rate, what now 6K 7K??? Been told dealers are giving shocking trade in values almost 'Dick Turpin' style. Only just got a premium over 182FF, yet 172 cups seem to be holding out.

    gearbox not so good from cold

    If it crunches or is stiff it's on it's way out. Get the oil level checked or replaced, when drained if full of filings bad news.
