Is there anyone left in South Wales?!

Back when I purchased my first 182 quite a few years ago, there were plenty of sports knocking around the local areas by me. Newport etc...

I actually can't remember the last time I seen another sport on the road! Is there anyone left in South Wales?
If so, we need to organise a group drive somewhere when the weather is slightly better :cool:

That’s me mate! I own that group along with a few mates.
we’ve been posting in there but not getting any responses basically, so thought I’d reach out on here ok just to see if there was anyone on here
I saw one in Newport last week and it was such a shock, the 182’s look tiny these days compared to modern traffic
What colour was it bud? I know of only two others, my mates inferno and there's a bloke about 4 streets away with a silver 182

Nice bud! I've never seen this about sadly. What you running in it? F4R I'm guessing? 😉
I'm further along the road near twin town 🙂
Nice to see another one about. What do you drive mate? :)

Love it! I think I've clocked a Williams in Newport a couple years ago, some old guy driving it like miss daisy lol.

Looks like we all need to have a little meet up someday soon. Anyone up for that?

I can drag my less than perfect (character I call it) flamer along.

Well... CSOC South Wales has an RS morning coffee meet @ the Academy Espresso Bar in Barry if anyone fancies tagging along? It's on the 6th Feb
Will be meeting there for half 10.

We already have a few people expected to turn up, would be good to put some faces to the names.
Let me know who's up for that! :)

I’m over the border in Gloucestershire, but will come to some South Wales meets. However not until the later part of spring/summer now.

seems there a fair few here in the Shire, will have to sort out our own mini meet soon (y)
Adey, absolutely. @VenomUK has recently been somewhere (I forget) for a breakfast meet. I’ll be up for it when we turn a corner in terms of weather etc. don’t fancy a shitty damp, salty drive out at the moment. For no other reason than it’s cold standing at the side of the road waiting for the AA

Mine retired from daily duty 3 years ago though I lived in Leicester at the time, based in Carmarthenshire now. at the minute it's in the garage safe from the salt, busy dreaming up new electrical faults I imagine!

I’ve just moved to Newport coming from Bristol. I have a Rb 182 in need of some time and love. Stoped using as my daily about 4 years ago because of family, just been sat on my drive ever since, waiting to find some time to give it the love it needs. Now I have a garage hopefully going to restore it back to its former glory, but will probably take me until next summer 😂 was planning to just get it road ready, but I know how one thing can lead to another and I’ll probably end up doing a full nut and bolt restoration.

That’s awesome mate! If you need a hand at all let me know. More than happy to help.
Also, if you need a local garage to do any major work to I would recommend TJ Auto Mech in Leeway industrial estate. Good mate of mine and knows the clios inside out 😁👍🏽

I’m sure there will come a time where I will need to reference your car as a 3D model because i messed something up 😂

Haha, you’re more than welcome anytime bud.
We’re all a few minutes down the road from each other then it seems, and it’s great to see another RB in Newport!

Keep in touch mate 👍🏽👍🏽

I've managed to get my Arctic Blue 182 back on the road... is there anyone in South Wales that fancies a drive/meet up soon?
