Whereabouts were you parked FM? I was way out in the sticks - near the petrol station at Asda..... D.

Not sure of model/spec. Had a high-mounted spoiler on the arse-end and sounded quite loud... D.

FM - see, thick as pig-sh*t me for directions?! ;) Chris, nope - didnt see you m8. Wheres the RUG???? Some woman in a 54 plate silver 182 came alongside Ensor this morning and I waved at her. Just looked at me completely blank...... Probably thought "theres another one of those Clio driving...

Wheres Grimshaw Park, m8? Im sh*t with directions around here! :oops: D.

Lee - good, positive responses there m8. And you must be bloody smug having that 007 number - jammy sod! ;) The rawness of the 182 Trophy definitely appeals. My ideal Evo would be a VI RS Sprint, which if Im lead to believe doesnt even come with a boot carpet as standard - so I do appreciate...

I personally dont see the point unless, you want exclusivity or youre a trackday person....... or both. Coming from another make and model of car to the 182 Trophy - fine, but to go from a 182 to a Trophy wouldnt be worth it in my book. I think it was Lee who said that it laps approx a second...

Is it? Learn something new everyday! Cheers, D.

Im lazy - I know and cant be bothered reading the manual, but...... Whats that little button thing for underneath the passenger-side wing mirror. I only noticed it this weekend while washing it. The drivers mirror hasnt got one? D.

Havent any of you guys heard of delivery vans? I wouldnt lower the status of a Vee by carting around odds & ends from Ikea or even new tyres! :D D.

What pisses me off is that they get nothing from it. Its not like knicking a stereo or alloys or something... Why, why, why???! They all need booting in the bollox, if you ask me. Jain had her MR2 keyed very badly and there were a few suspicious marks on her Cooper S after that. Total...

Fubar - you reckon that will happen to the prices of the Vee as well?! :D D.

I know what you mean. Some days it feels a little sluggish and others, it just flies. Interesting point about the cat build-up - never thought of that one... D.

Escobar - they are like rocking-horse sh*t to get hold of m8. I had the similar situation when my rear got nailed - the Reno dealership said oh, we never keep any of those in stock... :confused: D.

Mk2 V6... Or an Evo (I want a 5 for some reason?) assuming I can find a decent one and also afford the damn thing! D.

Very nice Topper - looking good m8.... :D What does it say on the door badge? Still "2.0 16v"? It would be could if there was a subtle turbo badge somewhere. I really like the Meg 225. I honestly dont think most people know what they are or what they can do. And if the performance is on par...

^^^^^ - quality! Proper donut-fest...... Please tell us that you bombed it around doing 360s on the ice???! D.

Makes you think, doesnt it? Not all refurbed cars are going to be top-drawer quality and clearly some will be botched jobs. I wonder how many weekend repaired cars are out there on the roads? Sad to see a broom yellow GT in such a state.... D.

You need 10ft clearance each side to open up one of those doors though.... Definitely NOT a car to park next to on a windy day. D.

Still there. Ive just been to the butty van now....... D.

Matt - it would be better if you picked up that F1 engine out of that mad Espace they did some years ago! D.

Topper - looks good from just your avatar m8 - I havent seen one in that colour before. Have you any larger pics? D.

Chris, was this a black gold 182? I passed one at Junc 3 (M65) late yesterday, coming back from Birmingham..... Topper - youve switched to a Meggy then???? Are you muchos liking??? Went out for a ride in Brum in a LCR while I was down there - god, I miss turbos so much.... D.

Parked on Sett End Road West, Blackburn, just now. Had a large CS sticker in the rear window. Anyone here? D.

Went past you on the M65 - I think you pulled off at Junction 4, eastbound. Didnt get a proper look at it as the Beemer I was driving at the time was tramlining like buggery. Felt a little dangerous to be honest. :o Would have been about 2.50pm this afternoon..... D.

I make it easy - 32 all-round. Had this on my previous car too - seems a good balance. D.

I still miss my GT..... :( They have their faults (as does everything else) but they shouldnt be under-estimated. Even standard ones have 145lb/ft torque compared to the 182s 148lb/ft and they are slightly lighter - admittedly, not by much. The single biggest fault with them is that the car...

Not to be used in the sun though. Used the same stuff on mine and it streaked like mad. Stupid mistake on my part though! D.

Whats the rarest of the production Scoobies? Are they as bad at attracting unwanted attention as the most people think? I really like them, but I have a preference for an Evo. ;) D.

They suit the car.... looks good. D.

Jim ^^^^ - wise words. Try having a go in a tub of lard that is the Punto GT and youll realise just what bad handling is.... ;) Still miss the little fecker though..... D.
