On the switchback rd coming from Anniesland up to Bearsden this morning bout 9am. I was in Arctic Blue 182 in a rush going the other way... lol
anyone?
172 Cup, coming of Canniesburn Toll Bearsden onto Dymen Rd at about 5.40pm tonight. I was heading towards the switchback from Drymen rd in my mates car.
OK, Elephant is owned by Admiral - I have been with Elephant for 3 years, the renewal on my 182 with 3 years NCB is £780, however Admiral have quoted me £675 for the exact same thing.
Next step is to call Elephant to see if theyre prepared to meet / beat this quote.
Assuming both are the...
Arnold Clark Renault have various no mileage (will be pre-registered) 182s with metallic paint and cup spoiler packs, option of cup suspension.
£11,900 - they had an inferno on display in Bishopbriggs next the blue V6, nice!
They have others available.
Cheers, Rory
Coming off the roundabout by the firestation going up towards Douglas Academy at 5pm tonight (Friday 20th). I was in Arctic 182 coming from firestation heading up to Bearsden.
Also saw a silver 182 at the same roundabout a few days ago...
Just called the club insurance contact as directed in the homepage, quote for me at 23 with 3 years NCB and my parents on the policy as named drivers:-
£899 with a £300 excess and thats ltd mileage.
I pay less just now through Elephant, not that impressed...
:cry:
Navy blue valver with some kind of bodkit just south of luncarty - heading North, followed fairly closely by a Blue 172 cup.
Then a bit further south between Stirling and Perth a Racing Blue 182 BAZ _ _ _ _.
anyone here? I was in an arctic blue 182 heading south.
Saturday (today) parked a couple of rows in from main entrance, blue 172 cup, seen it there before.
Anyone here?

on Friday afternoon, first and furthest north I spotted a silver mk2 172, then I saw a silver mk1 v6, there were 3 blue 172 cups / 182s aswell, travelling North from Perth and Towards Perth from Stirling.
Surely at least one or two of them are members?! I waved but nobody waved back once.
I...
has anyone done any mods here? I fancy trimming in alcantara to match my seats but would love some carbon fibre inserts... proper carbon fibre that is, none of the sticky back nonsense!

Anyone had a problem with their brakes?
I was driving to work this morning and the brakes felt utter sh_t, as though the servo wasnt working maybe?!
Anyone else suffered a similar thing?
Cheers, Rory
Can somebody PS some 16" Ronal R38s onto an Arctic Blue 182 or a mondial blue 172 cup or if anyone has these wheels can they show me a pic on the car please. Cheers.
They were standard in the 172 I believe, whats involved in wiring one up to my 182?
Anyone know what renault charge for one?
I fancy the reno one cause itll fit snugly under my passenger seat.
Cheers, Rory
Anyone notice a resonant vibration type noise from the exhaust at about 2000 rpm in 5th?!
I was stuck behind a slow ass last night and noticed it... got 40mpg thanks to the slow ass too!
Anyone thought about painting white stripes up the bonnet and getting the roof done in white or a union jack or saltire?
Oh and paint the wing mirrors white...
:p
I know that its designed around pilot exaltos and all that and know theyre good tyres in wet and in dry but....
whos got a good alternative? Out of curiosity more than anything...
Ill probably stick to exaltos though.

Any chance of cliosport striking a deal with michelin or costco even! to get a reduced rate for tyres? Lots of business to be had here...
Or am I just being stingy? :oops:
Anyone in the Glasgow / Central Scotland region fancy buying some Elf Excellium oil with me and sharing the cost? Im in no real rush as its a few thousand miles till my next oil change!
get the 24 litres from debra at total butler, it costs £64, thats for the proper 5w-40w elf synthetic stuff...
I dont condone speeding in built up areas. Im not 100% innocent either before anyone gets on their high horse!
what gets me about gatsos etc is that they cant differentiate between vehicle types.
What I mean by this is if I were doing 70 on a 60 (theoretically) through a gatso Id get flashed...
Just out of curiosity, is there a big difference to the drive / handling of a standard 182 compared to a cupd one?
I presume the 182 has sports suspension anyway, considering what it is! I bought a standard 182 and am pretty happy with the ride (I drive a lot of long distances) Im also...
