I must admit, I have eyes in the back of my head whenever Im at a petrol station. You can never be too careful these days.
I could easily (and quite shocking to myself, thinking about it :o) shoot someone who tried to take my car. First problem, is that I dont have a gun and secondly, things...
... going past Blackburn Hospital on Haslingden Road. Flashed him, but got no response. :cry:
They look strangely beefier than normal 182s. Looked very good.

Sounds fine by me m8. Ill probably be looking at Monday/Tuesday of next week when I fill up - I roughly get a weeks worth out of a tank of juice.
Thats assuming I have the car back by then? Reno have it booked in on Friday to have a look at the creaking from the suspension. I can just see...
Welcome to the 182 mob!
They are cracking cars and quite forgiving for the most part. Just take it easy and get used to how it feels. Im still learning after 8 months - its not something you can do in a week! :D

LOL - definitely wasnt me. I got fecking lost trying to find that Shell garage out towards Mellor Brook.
I tell you - Blackburn is the eastern edge of the Bermuda Triangle!!!

Well, heres our routine....
Wash my black 182 - park it outside and the birds have a field day. Looks like a dalmation by the following day - more white, streaky sh*t than black...
Wash the wifes arctic blue 182 - park it outside in the same spot and theres feck all. About one blob of bird...
I dont see them often - usually 172s and other 182s. The only one I used to see was Chris n Nics RUG-mobile, but even thats proving elusive these days?! ;)

It will probably mean that the residuals will keep up well - meaning more expense for people like me who want one for my next car!
As SimonV6 says - its a shame they didnt bow-out with a final mad 10 production cars with serious performance upgrades. Having said that, circa £27k is daft for a...
I dont know if the warm weather is making it worse, but in the past few days Ive heard a really loud creaking noise when the steering is on full lock.
I notice it most turning into our lane, which is a tight left-hand turn - definite 1st gear job.
Time to do a forum search methinks...
Spotted on the opposite side of the M61 - roughly around junc. 7 heading Bolton way.
We were coming up the M61, back up towards the M65. Would have been around 4.45pm....

LOL m8! :D
Yep, it was caked in sheeeit. Not so much down to my driving style, but the bloody lane that we live on. The moment we even have a slight bit of rain, any traffic simply mucks up the sides.
Cleaned it last night, only to find that the car resembled a litter tray for the birds in...
Approx 5pm. At the lights where you can turn into Mercedes & Rapid Fit. I was stuck in traffic on the other side in a 320 Beemer. Couldnt see any CS stickers when I was rubber-necking though (nearly went into the arse-end of the truck in front whilst looking! :oops:)
