I know this is really thick, but......

[Flat Eric]

I keep seeing 1*2 around on here

Is this just people saying 182 differently or something totally different?

Just wanted to ask.

 

[Sanders]

means either 172 or 182

 

[Will.]

Replace the star with either 7 or 8.

 

[LEOGWC]

Glad someone asked this lol I was thinking the same. and now that sanders has replied with that answer it seems such a simple answer!

 

[Flat Eric]

I know right. It all makes sense now

4 years I've been on here and never had that explained.

There we go

Cheers.

Well I've gone and made myself look a clown instead.

Glad I know anyway.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

I always wondered this Haha! :clown:

 

[ILikeShinyThings]

haha i;m in the same boat, I just kinda picked up that it meant either a 172 or 182 though lol

 

[plymcl172]

:clown: ha I worked this out guess it takes people longer than others !

 

[Flat Eric]

Well I did think it was just another way to put 182 as * is above a 8 on keyboard? Weirdo aren't I.

 

[Naith]

i wondered at first when i was a noob/stupid. lol

 

[Tony Hunter]

I thought it was a new model RS.(joking of course)

 

[McGherkin]

For more jargon.

It's how I found out

I first thought it was what people called a 1.2 that had a rep kit

 

[Sanders]

Everyone's coming out of woodwork about it now lol, anyone else?

 

[Flat Eric]

Now I'm just getting ruined here aren't I. Wish I never chimed up :-/

Only messing, should never be frightened to ask a question. Even if it is a silly one.

Whey. Good ye. Come on people. Be honest with what you thought it meant

 

[mharvey]

Just read this, wondered how someone wouldn't realise what it meant instantly...then I realised you posted it Chris and all became clear

Ha! Thanks a lot Matt

You got to admit. You didn't know that straight away surely? It's well confusing!

 

[Joe#]

When I first joined here, I thought it meant 1.2. So I put that down for my car

 

[James23]

This thread makes me want to sell my clio.

 

[willhalligan]

Ive been thinking about that for ages, glad someone asked

Bit daft really it takes more effort to put the * in (Having to stretch to the shift + 8) I might just be really idle though? Just write 182 or 172 :S?

Or does 1*2 look well 'Cool'

 

[McGherkin]

Well it's for when both cars could be applicable e.g.

There were lots of 1*2's there...

Going from this car, I fancy a 1*2, not sure which.

e.t.c.

ffs.
It's when people are talking about things that apply to both 172 and 182. so "1*2" is easier than typing "172/182"

Not a stupid question at all mate, actually quite a useful one as the other replies show.
