Bye Bye 182 - Hellooooo V6....!!!!!!!!!



  ILLIAD VEE!!
Well, after a year of owning the 182 and enjoying every single minute of driving it :D I decided after attending the BTCC at Oulton Park last week, that I would try and source a V6...!! (obviously being "heavily encouraged" by my hubby and fellow Cliosport member DarrenS, who also has a 182..!!!)

Thinking I might be losing the plot or going head first into a Mid-life crisis at wanting a V6 at 40, I thought "Feck it - could be dead tomorrow - why not..?!!" So without further ado, started ringing Renault dealerships up and down the country to source on. Manchester Renault came up trumps yesterday, after having got a V6 in Iliad Blue NUMBER 202 traded-in for the new Megane Trophy...!!!!! BINGO...!!!! So after a very restless nights sleep :sleepy: in eager anticipation of actually having a drive in one (having only ever seen one on a forecourt before.!) Me and Darren headed down to Manchester today.!! After about an hour of "I can't believe that this is going to my car!!!" running through my head, coupled with an extremely daft grin on my face for the duration, it was my turn to take it out for a test drive. I say 'my turn' as I did the decent thing and played a good "wifey" and let Darren take it out first..!! He got back and I wondered if he had "tents in his boxers" at the experience...!!!!! :eek: He just looked 'shocked' and said "fecking un-real..!!!" So about 20 minutes later I arrived back with the sales guy and he needed no hard sell on me, I was having this come hell or high water....250,000 wilderbeasts heading for their annual mating fest wouldn't stop me...!!! Anyway, I signed on the dotted line and I pick my baby up on Wednesday all being well.....just in time for my 41st Birthday...!!! I don't give a sh*t what anyone thinks/says.....having a mid-life crisis pays BIG dividends....especially when it comes to my insurance on the V6....£700...!!! Now how big a bonus can one girlie get in one day...???!!!!

Pictures coming soon....!!!!! :D :D :D :D

Lol, good for you !

well done to you for choosing something so unique and most average people at 40 are writing their wills and driving vectra`s.

cant wait to see the pics :D

thought you meant cayanne i would have beaten you up if it was loool :D

must say though a V6 is way cooler than any porsche, tena penny are porsches these days from boxter, boxster s old 911`s carrera and caymans. great cars but soooo common show just how well off a large percentage of this country is these days (or how much were all in debt )

u will love owning it, good move!!

i went the other way though (v6 to 182 trophy) and i miss the noise the most!!

oh and the looks!!!

HELLO BOYS...!!!! (and Sarah!) :D :D :D

Just like to say "THANKS" for all your posts regarding my new Vee, it's been great getting all your comments..!! ..only 2 more days to go till I pick it up (not that I am counting or anything...!!!) :D

Planning a serious drive out on Saturday to either "Blackpool" or to Whitby - before you all think I am a completely mad old-fart and should have a furry checked blanket behind my seat and a flask of coffee thinking about driving to Whitby, it happens to have one of the best "V6" undulating A-roads in the country(A169)...!!!! The Vee will love it..! So it's either go for the great drive on the A169 or go for sunny Blackpool to simply drive up the seafront (Bank holiday weekend, so will be packed.!) for the simple, pose-factor..!!! :cool: Sad cow aren't I...??!!! LOL..!!! Anyway, with a long weekend ahead, I could do both..!

Anyway, thanks all for your comments, piccies being posted soon..! (Oh and M1tch, thanks for the comment about your Mum...!!! You just aged me another 20 years with that..!!!ha ha ha !!

Cheers guys

Hello Guys, and thanks for the posts....!!! :D

Blue Nose, glad someone is actually older than me on this forum too, doesn't make me feel quite like a dinosaur just yet..!!! (although I shan't forgive M1tch for his "mother" comment just yet..!! LOL..!!)

Yes, I realise how lucky I am and I have been in touch with Reno today and all is set for a Wednesday pick up - booked Thursday and Friday off work (you know how it is, have to get used to handling the car..!!!! HA HA HA !! LOL..!!:rasp: ) Or was that simply to spend 2 days cruising the streets showing my new Vee off...??!!! Probably the latter me thinks..! Anyway, more good news, Adrian Flux came up trumps on the old insurance and managed to get my policy down to £643 now..!!!!!!!! Fan-blo*dy-tastic..!!! Wednesday, just CANNOT come quick enough for me....!!!!! In fact neither can Donnington on the 30th July...!!! :D :D :D

Cheers for all your posts, much appreciated guys..!! Glad you are all as enthused as I am..!!

Cheers
