Car looks really fresh. Are you English but moved to France ?
 
took the miss for a ride

could only get to the top of Mt Ventoux by night, was fun though (if you could get past foxes, hinds and wild boars)

then headed further north for some amazing unknown roads, surprinsigly light traffic considering the time of the year

the BG certainly didn't miss a beat

Hi Harry,
Have you got a link to where you got the headlights from. Im thinking with the awesome exchange rate they might be cheap to buy from France.

edit- or if you have a minute or two can you help me locate some 172 black brand new xenons from france.

The car is looking stunning mate. Really miss my BG. Unfortunately I'm stuck with a Pathfinder to lug the kids about in! Where abouts are the pics taken? Looks amazing. CS meet anyone.

thanks mate, your old one looked good too. As for the CS meet, you guys should really come to Provence one day !
 
Car looks fresh! Do you always keep on top with cleaning/waxing it or is it simply the camera :wink:?

Speaking of the camera, those shots are awesome, what are you using? All I use is an iPhone and everything looks terrible lol

Thanks for your help with the Xenon lights Harry, much appreciated !
Those roads look amazing.

Love going to France in my 182, all the clios in France especially the mk2's are always so beaten up looking and rough so it sort of shocks the locals when they see a fresh 182.

Thanks for your comment, I try to take pictures when the car's clean (every 3 weeks or so...) but sometimes it renders well even if it's not !
I use a D700 with some various lenses and a Sony RX100 (which is the cheapest way of making excellent pictures BTW).

Did you get the lights mate ? happy to help anyway
I think the 182 is more popular in UK than in France where the 200 Cup is more raved about (saw a nice white one with Recaro's, white cage, sounded pretty good too but can't ignore the dull front), and yes I've seen some bad examples with possibly all the worst bits on it !
 
Another month, another trip.
This time in the France center (below Clermont-Ferrand), never been here before.

unable to overtake any well driven diesel uphill without giving it the full revs :astonished:

couldn't resist this pic through the ruins

almost empty road that looked like a forest tarmac stage

view from the top before a long way down back home

Lately I went to check a Ford Puma 1.7 but nearly fell in love for this one

I took the highway on the way in but went back through Le Circuit du Castellet and la Sainte Baume (this is where evo mag went for the McLaren F1 & P1 test).
Had a fantastic drive, even locked up a front wheel on the way down, not sure the S3 would've been more fun.

You know you're on the right road when you see this
