Back in to a 182, this time BG!

[Rubicon_]

So after recently selling the BMW I slowly began looking at 172's/182's again, not long in I started speaking to Mark (Dr Jekyll) about his beautiful BG 182 that he was contemplating selling. A few pm's and phone calls later we came to a deal and I booked flights down to Stansted to meet Mark.

Mark was extremely nice in picking us up from the airport and taken us to his house, thanks again Mark. Once we got to Marks he made us more than welcome, and after a chat and a cuppa we went to see the car. I honestly can't describe how good this car looks in real life, It's a real credit to Mark! He certainly has good taste

So after Mark taking me for a little drive my mind was even more set! We signed the relevant papers, and began the 400 mile trip home. Stopped off in Nottingham last night, got a couple of pictures on the way of coarse.

I've not got much plans for it at the moment except keeping it clean, Marks taste is pretty much the same as mine. Possibly next year I might give the turinis a go on anthracite, however the silver really does make it fresh and I am a fan. I think I might also buy another set of 2118's, as I loved the look of this when Mark had them on.

Thanks again Mark for the great service, was nice to meet you and Emily! Good luck with your new car hunt

Superb purchase.

Mark will have been open and honest about everything and you have a very solid car there. It's never wanted for anything! One of the most genuine people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting.

Glad to see it has stayed on the forum.

Thanks for the kind comments Arran (and Sam). Your complements really means a lot, both on myself and on the car. Im glad your happy with it mate. I shall look forward to see what you do with it I couldn't of sold it to a nicer bloke tbh.

Doesn't look like yours Mark - needs the 2118s on again I think..

Still - nice bus

It's not, it's Arran's :rasp: It will probably end up on 2118s as Arran loved that look!

Looks brilliant easily the nicest BG on here

Looks good agreed I loved it on the 2118s though I think black turinis would look ace too

Arrived to its new home after the 400 mile trip. Even though the car was still clean, had to find an excuse to try out the new snow foam lance.

Cracking motor Aaran, tracking it?


P.S. it needs some 2118's.

No won't be tracked mate, to nice to track lol

I thought the same with the 2118's but the turinis have really grown on me, just looks so fresh.

Splendid Aaron, knew you'd be back!

 

[welshname]

Looks lovely. Mark really has made a great car there. Look forward to seeing what you can do to improve on it.

Keep the wheels silver. It was my...I mean Mark's best decision.
