I put an RB 182 on the moon

[Coops Mk1]

Made it, touchdown was 10:07:45s GMT on 19/03/2022. Smooth landing.

Love the sticker 😂

 

[PP200t]

Wow!

 

[Daz.]

Probably due it's first cambelt by now. I'd not risk it...

But are there any specialists on the moon? 😂

@MicKPM is the mission technical specialist, he's in the maintenance bay of the main capsule (boot)

Sticker is brilliant 🤣

Still looks in fantastic condition for the milage

It's suffering now chap, rear arch and sill rot setting in. Still drives nicely though

 

[Bluebeard]

Amazing work. Is it Triggers broom or is it mostly original?

 

[ajracer]

I cant see many others with that mileage.
How many miles did she have when you bought her?

Engine and gearbox both original, never been opened or refurbished etc. Had plenty of wheel and suspension changes over the years, exhausts etc but the heart of the beast remains as left factory 17 years ago.... Edit...nearly 18 now

I bought her from @The Boosh! a decade ago on a sprightly 103k

 

[ajracer]

Loving it.
Now for the journey back to sort out the rust!

 

[AdDaMan]

Great work!

 

[MicKPM]

Triggers rusty broom, still going strong 💪

 

[Ex-User (99307)]

So I notice no-one has called it the mooncup yet.

 

[Darren S]

Great effort!

And here was I, thinking I was doing well on circa 170k!

 

[Autolaca82]

Lo logró, el aterrizaje fue a las 10:07:45 GMT del 19/03/2022. Aterrizaje suave.

more photos please !!!!

 

[Tez.]

Triggers broom . Ha !

my lorry is nearly on the moon and back mileage . Do they have sticker for that ?

 

[Mbeau]

That is excellent. I think its amazing that it still has the original engine and box. Shows how good they are if you keep on top of maintenance. Nice one 👍

 

[Coops Mk1]

@Autolaca82 check my project thread or the RB thread and you'll see plenty

@Tez. Nope, all original apart from standard service items when required

@Mbeau knowsit, 1/4 million mile trackday coming up

 

[Tez.]

OE04UYN - RB FF 182 (ex The Boosh's Motor)

Right, my daily 172 is getting to the end of its time with me, i toyed for a while with replacing it with a few other motors, something outside the clio world, but in the end after speaking to Dave88 (well moaning to him) about the lack of FF RB's up north, he mentioned Luke (The Boosh) was soon...
