Enjoy it mate - its a quick car (but im sure you already know that).

FFS I wish I could roll back the clock to the day I got mine. Good luck and many best wishes mate - its an amazing machine.

Good arrows

Enjoy picking it up and have fun

 

[Wan82]

rattles? If thats the only thing that ever goes wrong or annoys me about the car i would be well chuffed.

Ive just got put a few miles on it before seeing what she can really do.

Maybe i could get through a few hundred in a few days.

Mine rattled after 600 miles!!! f**king thing.. but i love it

 

[Mike@Rentech]

Enjoy mate, Enjoy!

Although ive had my 182 for about 10 months, Im envious of the feeling you must have before picking it up. Its like being a kid on christmas eve....

Enjoy it mate !!

rattles. do you mean something that quiet ticks in the background or some annoying high pitched squeak or screech.

or just rattles like when you sit in the seat and it makes a noise?

 

[Justin182]

In my 182 i hardly notice them anymore. They used to be quite quiet but could still be pretty much get on your nerves. I solve my rattles by using a couple of car wash sponges here and there that are hidden and just prod the dash now and then. Nothing to worry about mate in my experience...

[Justin182]

Very nice mate!!! I dont think mine was covered in a waxy coat but it had been at the dealership a couple of days so not sure. If it is, well done them...

looks familiar that mate!!

fill it full of optimax and enjoy the b**ch,i love mine.wait til you pull in the dealers and its there all shiny and polished up,great feeling.

so far the dealer has been very helpful, polite and informing. many times better than their sister company in the same city whom i went to buy off them first as they had given me 2 test drives. however, the guy was a tw*t there so walked back out and bought off these guys. i got a call from the first dealer i went to asking if i was still interested....."yes i am so i bought it elsewhere"...

i hope the good service continues after i hand over my moola.

 

[Wan82]

aye boroboy. black is by far the best looking.

do you really feel a difference in performance with the higher RON fuels?

 

[ihategherkins]

have a great day tomorrow Wan!

Had mine since March 1st and still loving every mile I drive in it. Especially like to watch people walk past it and stare. Its great having that "yep its mine!" feeling.

Enjoy mate!

never ran the car on anything else wan so dont really know what 95 ron feels like.

went out with the missus for a drive tonight and she commented that a lot of people were looking at the car in the garage,at the shop etc.get ready for stardom mate,a right eyecatcher in black.
