Mint Perfection

[Gareth]

Just looking over old pictures and came across this one, I'm pretty sure its one that I never posted online (although it may be similar to many I did) but it just looks Perfect.

That is all.

 

[Bluebeard]

I loved that car....

 

[Da]

Indeed... :approve:

 

[Pettsi]

Sexy! Do you prefer the meggy?

 

[Steviant]

XXX Mint

Until I saw it at the B-run, I though u never drove that car. Cos all the pics were taken outside ur garage.

lol

 

[Gareth]

lol Steve, good times.

 

[Fletcher]

Very nice. Do you miss it?

 

[Gareth]

Sexy! Do you prefer the meggy?

in some ways yes, in other ways no. I still do miss the 172 that's for sure.

 

[DH_GTI]

i wanted your car so bad when you were selling it. but i was to young !!!

 

[Gareth]

Very nice. Do you miss it?

miss it LOTS yes. My gf reckons its because it was my first fast car, I don't think its that simple, the 172s/182s are terribly fun cars. My one was an absolute dream to own as well.

 

[Ali]

Amazing! Nearly identical to my old bus!

 

[Christopher]

I loved that car....

ditto!

 

[R20 CWH]

gareth - your car was superb

 

[fUbAr]

stunning, looks great on the CS Calendar too!

 

[RichRSi]

Sounds like it was a good car, looks very tidy. It's easy to see how you miss it.

Some of my past cars have been slow, rusty, b******s to own and yet I still remember them fondly!

 

[GarethM]

awesome

 

[gazbenger]

Thought it was one of the rare silver cups for min! Looks sexual

 

[rustybolt]

off topic a bit, what tyres were on it in that picture?

 

[BREMBO]

That is mint

 

[Gareth]

off topic a bit, what tyres were on it in that picture?

really appalling ones. I bought the Turinis as a complete and utter bargain as they were virtually mint, unfortunately the tyres they came with were sh*t. The rears were very run down Toyo T1-Rs, fronts were real low budget, I can't remember the make, ventus? possibly. The car was sold shortly after and I never changed them.

 

[DebV6]

Does look lovely. But then so does the megane!

 

[Lagerlout]

Awesome. But then again I am biased :approve:

[mikey_172]

[rae1]

Very smart(not the purple/green one-thats p*ss poor)is it lowered at all?

 

[Gareth]

yes, Eibach Pro Springs.

 

[rae1]

how much is it lowered?

 

[Gareth]

15mm at the time of fitting, but I reckon it shifted atleast another 5mm or 10mm once bedded in.

 

[mikey_172]

did you ever track it

 

[Gareth]

i booked Brands Hatch with it, but sold the car JUST before I made it there and subsequently had to sell the trackday, so No, which I really regret.

 

[mikey_172]

im tempted to get some pro lines but not sure if sport lines will be better as i want to reduce the body roll

 

[rustybolt]

Lusty ill say one thing, your brave...
