Full Circle With 182

[rich[182]]

1st impressions 2-3 months ago were I thought it looked sh*te, Over past few weeks its grown on me, Saw a non cup pac 182 in gold black at local dealer and thought it looked ok...............then pics on here of a silver one looked great but tonight on way home, very near local dealer so could have just been picked up ??

saw a 182 cup pack in the blue without stripes, looked gorgeous, I even thought the tailpipes looked cool, grey alloys rocked and the pics ive seen of the blue dont do it justice, that blue is awesome in the flesh, In slow moving rush hour traffic everyone was looking at it, I really like it now

glad u have seen the light, as i have said it is definitely a colour you need to see in the flesh to pass judgement! (wasnt my car you saw was it?)

On my way home tonight I did 2 hours up the M40 from High WYcombe to Kidderminster in WOrcestershire and the amount of people staring at the car was ridiculous, I was loving it, I have always dreamt of having a car that nobody had seen on the road before as it was so new and rare and with my blue colour you cant miss it!

Im like a dog with two d1cks!

dont forget that is a renault date! remember when MS windows used to tell u it was going to download a file in 3 minutes and it took 15 and that bar took for ages to fill up! Well my 182 was 6 weeks late, so i wouldnt get your hopes up for that date as it has a good chance of slipping. Dont want to p1ss on your fire but you have to be realistic mate, you be safe in the knowledge that it IS worth the wait!

Sorry Trail182 but no, got the car this morning and have got 300 miles into running it in. I love it already not been much over 4k. Been down some nice B roads tho and the car drives really well.

Have to say, Racing Blue looks the b****cks in real life, as said befor nothing like the baby blue in the pics, but very close to the colour in Car mag.

Must go back out then.. more miles = more revs = more fun.....

 

[Trail182]

hehe enjoy it mate!

 

[Eddd]

Frog Poofter Bleu. Lovely...

 

[D-CUP]

Took about 3 months to get my Cup. How long do you have to wait for a V6?

glad u like the colour mate, was feeling a little guilty for a while in trying to change your mind when you were thinking of going for a different colour but once I got mine I knew you would like it, happy running in and we will have to meet sometime to compare cars!

 

[huw182]

Welsh182 get some pics up! Even though it will look remarkably similar to Dave182s offering!!
