ROFL! I do think that black gold it cursed from the outset though. I thought I did a good job in polishing it the last time, until I opened up the driver's door and saw the black gold door pillar inside.
The difference was amazing. It looked really, really well on the pillar - clearly being...
Lol - only when we opened 'em up, eh? ;)
Lost track of the number of coaches and trucks that passed us. At least Mossy was doing his bit for Vee Owner-Truck Driver liasions. :)

^^^ - as it's you doing the hijack, I'll let you off! ;) Looks stunning as well.
How's life post B/G 182? Have you got any of the Pug posted up yet? Is the paint quality better/worse on the other Frenchie?

Jain gave her Vee a bit of polishing love, the night before FCS. Not that it mattered by the time we got down there as it was full of crap again!
Anyways, I've been indifferent to how EGP is on my car. It looked good on black gold, but never that good imo.
With not a great deal of effort...
This always intrigues me when driving different cars and whether or not this actually matters at all to me? I did a round trip (again) today from Blackburn to Wirral and back, in a works Mazda 6 TDi. It's miles more comfier than my 182, coasts along on the motorway with hardly any effort and has...
Good vid m8 - track seemed really smooth and seemingly quite wide. Was the wind a problem with the car? I noticed quite a few drivers getting very close to the wall at turn 1 (?) - I was just hoping that the wind wouldn't drag them into the concrete!

Lol! Sorry Glenn - I didn't think you were on here! :o
Was it looking good in the sun? Matt's looked stunning at FCS with the bit of elbow grease he rubbed on it.

That petrol blue 182 looks bland on here? Nothing like it does with my own eyes - truly gorgeous colour that. And rare!
As usual, the Yellow Sub looks like you could serve it with a dollop of ice cream and eat it! :cool:

I had the usual gander at your car Chris - average as per usual. ;)
I think in my Top 3 of CS cars (in no order) - yours is there, along with that white RS and of course - Middos.
All look the nads in their own way. :approve:

Was your's the black Meg with the Salford sticker on the bonnet? Looked at that and it made me laugh - nice touch. :)
Good pics Lee - good to see you again, if only briefly! The V6 mob wanted to get going...

A flamer comment - but I cannot believe how much better the white 197 looks with the spoiler on the back. It literally transforms the rear from a mundane, plain and fat-ass hatch in to something that looks good.
It's weird - as an optical illusion, it almost appears to lower the car a bit as...
Wasn't there a thread(s) regarding the fact that changing the CAF alone won't give you any benefits - in fact it could decrease your mpgs as the ECU tries to match the extra air with extra fuel input?
I thought these things only gave benefits if you went down the route of full remaps, etc...
I'd rather have the Blackburn postcode of where I work, than be tagged with the Bolton postcode of where I live!
To the OP - are you sure those aren't quotes for a V6 and the insurance people are just being stupid? Even if that premium was for a V6 - that's still sky high.
When you smacked...
Ah, that's nothing. I did the 256mile trip each way to RenTech for my 24k service. ;)
50 miles is nothing for peace of mind. I'll be doing 61mile each way to Birchdown this Thursday for my 182's 48k service...

Just in terms of what's good - what needs to be a feature on the camera - what's crap, etc?
Not interested in the HDD cameras or DVD. And tape most definitely has had its day - lol.
Any thoughts would be appreciated. Anyone actually got one/used one?
Cheers,
D.
