172 Flamer v RB 182...

[Scott S]

I've had my flamer for 3 and a half years and love it, but I have always like the RB 182's. I don't use the flamer much, it's in great condition and I personally think it's the best colour 172. I do however think the RB 182 is the best colour 182 (like the yellow, but not as much as the RB).

I don't really fancy getting a different car (I've go the Saxo for a track day or two this year), I want to stick with a 1*2 as I think they are fun, quick enough, well equipped (well enough for me), and suits me fine. They aren't refined or anything like that, but neither am I.....

Any opinions? RB 182, or 172 Flamer?????

Stick with the flamer. You'll have to start all over again if you buy another car. Maybe go with some more adventurous plans for the flamer to reignite (pun intended) your interest in the car :clap:

There's no real lost interest, still like driving it I just like the RB. I don't mind starting again, as long as I find one in reasonable condition I can do everything it needs.

I like them relatively standard.

Rb wrap? Then when you get bored you can have flame red again

My Flamer and my wifes RB. although I went the LY way in the end I think you'll miss your Flamer when it's gone

I'd try to convince the wife to buy a RB, but she has only had her Corsa for a year so won't be getting shot of that quickly.

Shame, having the LY and Rb parked out the front looks great. Having said that the flamer and the RB looked good too

This is the current 'his and hers' picture..

Buy a 182 and sell me the flamer.

[Gee Man]

I prefer yours

There's not really any point if it's just for the colour.
Assuming yours is in good mechanical nick, you'd just opening yourself to all sorts of potential problems - You could end up with a dog.

This.

If its running well and not costing you much then hold on to it

Keep the flamer. Awesome colour.

Some good points there. There's nothing at all wrong with the flamer and I could end up buying a dog. I could sort most things but it's been easy motoring with the Flamer, so why spoil it.

If RB is a must colour then i don't see why not just buy one, even more so if you buy from a Cliosport member. The car might be known and looked after, there's no guarantees in anything but no need to rush in to get one.
