Thanks for all your concern over my lack of 182

I dont like to be accused of not caring.

The wait must be hard for you though, as I at least had the 172 to potter about in.

Like you wouldnt believe.

I had a Ford Focus Diesel C-Max until last friday (company car) but gave it back when I quit that job.

I now have no car until wednesday when I sort a hire car.

I would SOOOOOOO love to go for a quick blat in a 182/172 etc. Oh well, 2 weeks to go, although I start a new job on thursday, so that should make the time go quick if I am concentrating on that, along with our house sale which is going through at the moment. I tell ya, new house, new job, new car, wtf else is gonna be going on!??!? (No kids, thats for damn sure)

 

[Lee]

You really are asking for trouble taking on all those massive changes in one go. Id never take the risk with my luck. LOL I hope it all goes smoothly mate.

Well said Leece.

 

[LEECE]

HELP

 

[CocoPops]

Ya know, you could really go off some people!!!

Tough choice ya got there, Airport parking or Kids..... hmmmmmm......

 

[LEECE]

Sorry was i moaning

 

[AndyG]

[Liam]

its worth the wait, just putting a few more miles on mine, on 330 now, just started blipping it up to 3500RPM. getting better lol, still feels responsive well below this speed, and pulls well in every gear.

 

[CocoPops]

Thats the thing, mine will get run in pretty quick.

Doing 160miles aday for the first few months of its life from Reading to Bham and back each day.

 

[Lee]

Give me a shout when you are in Brum mate, you can come and look at mine

Or maybe just go for a quick drink at lunch.

 

[CocoPops]

lol at Lees comment, as if Id just want to look at one!!! Ive seen enuff bloody pics that everyone so kindly posts

Ill be working at the birmingham Business Park (Solihull) near the NEC.
Start there on thursday.

The miles will drop eventually as we are moving house to Bicester (midway between Reading and Bham on the M40)

 

[Liam]

quite a few people look at the car, this is a good and bad thing of course. Dont want it drawing attention from chavscum.

 

[Lee]

Dam, thats a bit far out for me to make in my lunch hour. LOL Im smack bang in the centre.

 

[bsimmer3000]

hahahah chavscum. i stuck a burberry cap in the back of me mates audi a4 and he hates chavs. when he came back to his car after looking round the local town their was about 10 chavs and chavetts looking @ the cap through the window lol he was like wtf is going on. they turned round and said nice cap mate. he was well pissed of with me.



chavs lol

 

[Lee]

What worries me is that you had the cap in the first place.

 

[bsimmer3000]

nah it wernt mine. one of me mates mates had left it round his house lol.

 

[dk]

leece, you could drive the type r to the airport and lend Cocopops the 182

 

[LEECE]
