3 182's on teh same junction at the same time ... Newton Mearns

[Ross M]

at the broom shops today at about 5.40pm.

i was going one way in my silver 182, a racing blue 182 reg WYS*** or similar going the opposite way and an arctic blue 182 pulling out the junction at the same time.

 

[gregwilko]

[Ross M]

[gregwilko]

I currently drive a 306 gti-6

Funnily enough i saw a black 182 parked up round the corner from that junction about 10 mins ago!! haha

 

[Ross M]

hmm dont know of any 306 gti-6's about.

 

[gregwilko]

where abouts you from?? you actually live in the mearns?

My 306 is Diablo Red, and has white 17" OZ Super-T's. bit of a ned wagon TBH...... not had it long and had very little time to try getting it back into standard guise

 

[Ross M]

yeah i stay in eaglesham. all my mates stay in mearns just about.

 

[gregwilko]

haha, funny you should say that. i've bought a place in eaglesham. All being well, i'll be moving there in about 5weeks!!

 

[Ross M]

[gregwilko]

[Ross M]

[rory182]

Greg ur car is such a chav wagon, a clean one though and Diablo red is the best gti-6 colour.

 

[gregwilko]

yep rory, cheers for that!! i'm proud of my Ned Mobile. It makes you drive like a hooligan!! haha

I'm just up mearns road from the shops.

Here's a better picture of how neddy my car is!!

oh, and it'll be up for sale soon if anyone;s interested!!!

 

[rory182]

P/ex for 172 / 172 cup or 182 eh Greg?

 

[Kiev85]

Bonnyton drive (LONGEST ROAD IN THE WORLD)...

I had a wee play with a 306gti thing once...

nice fast car...had a nurburgring sticker on the back...guy knew how to drive well...not fast enough however...

 

[Ally]

I quite like that. Hope it doesn't mean I'm a ned....

 

[rory182]

ally wait till you hear it...

rather loud, bounces about a bit too eh greg.

 

[Ross M]

ohh i think i remember your car now greg. i always seem to see it coming down from the shops roof car park in clarkston ???

 

[gregwilko]

haha Ally, i'm glad you like it.... like rory says, wait till you hear it though. full magnex with decat. sounds tremendous at 7k, but far too loud for pottering about town!!

Yes, you would have seen it coming down from that carpark.... i worked in clarkston until last week... now over in bishopbriggs what a nightmare of a commute that is!! haha

I'm getting a company car, so i'll be racing round in a 5 door astra or something like that next. was going to get a 172, but i think that would just die with the kind of driving about town that i'm gonna have to start doing with work
