Your 197 must be quite fun

cant speak about a 182 but the 197 is pretty quick. If its your first car with more than the standard 100bhp or less then it will feel pretty immence. Give it a couple of weeks to get used to it and you'll soon start thinking 'I swear this car was faster when I first had it!' and then you'll get the urge to go buy something even quicker

True that !! Lol best cure for this I find is use a slow car for a week haha !! I used my mums Peugeot 107 , 999cc 3 cylinder , got back in mine , it's like a rocket ship compared !!!


​Glad your liking it op ! Great cars !!

ps I didn't tell my lady either just collected it and showed her the next day !! They will get over it eventually ! Well mine did haha
