Picking up my BG 182 tonight!

[chriscummins7]

Some of you will know my little grey non sport:

I'm approaching 21 now, and I've finished uni so I've taken the plunge and purchased a 182! It's from a member on here who lives local and is exactly what I was looking for, so I'll post some pictures and get a project thread up soon

 

[Kieran..]

looks lovely that non sport! if your 182 turns nearly as gd it will be great

 

[chriscummins7]

Thank you, means a lot! I hope it will

[chriscummins7]

[chriscummins7]

Ok bud

 

[Matthew]

Happy days Chris! Enjoy it and don't bin it on the drive home.

It's got decent brakes has Ste's so you should be ok

 

[Sanders]

You sold your old one yet mate?

 

[chriscummins7]

Cheers mate, I can't wait! I'll try not to ha.

You sold your old one yet mate?

Not yet mate, but had quite a bit of interest straight away which is always good! Guy that had arranged to buy it let me down massively.

 

[Matthew]

Nothing worse than selling a car privately....

 

[chriscummins7]

aye, if it doesn't sell this or next week it's getting returned to standard!

 

[Matthew]

It will 10000000% sell better as standard mate, opens up the market massively.

This x a million!

 

[Gouldy]

nice choice of new car, BG is a winners colour

 

[leeds_182]

You buying Ste666's Clio.

I love black gold!

Dont bin it on the drive home!

Yeah, I have a couple of people that sound really interested in it as it is... if it comes to nothing I will probs get similar amount for it standard and then have FK coilies and turbines to sell plus loads of little things. Will have to wait and see.

Thank you sir, you know this! We can be BG twins at the next yorkshire meet!

Yes mate, I'm a lucky lad as I know it has been cherished by Ste.
Me too, really gonna look after it as it deserves nothing else.

 

[leeds_182]

Has it still got the zorstec system on (less the decat of course!)?

 

[chriscummins7]

nah, matts standard battered system that was involved with the swap for Ste's yozza!

Think he still has the zorstec somewhere though

 

[leeds_182]

I think the zorstec one will probably be alright without the decat.

 

[Matthew]

Haha my old exhaust is a right tart, been round everyone!

 

[Jon.G]

Good upgrade mate, Same as what I did pretty much!

Its a different world to the 1.2!

 

[Mcaff]

Great to see you've took the plunge and got one now mate

will miss your wee non sport though.

 

[chriscummins7]

Ahh, was it the decat that was restrictive?

Haha my old exhaust is a right tart, been round everyone!

Bit like the you then! :O

Great to see you've took the plunge and got one now mate

Lol Mike......any slower and i could drive miss daisy , shame more didn't turn up that day or it could have been a classic meet/drive, still a good drive out though

Got to be honest though i was gutted when Chris drove it away earlier , at the same time i'm really pleased it went to someone so nice who will continue to look after it like i did.

Hope you enjoy it Chris.
At least this way i'll get to see it at some meets via the media thread,which is more than i've been able to do with it lately.

 

[Jon.G]

My old car just getting in on that picture too!

Lovely car though! Is it standard?

 

[chriscummins7]

It has ferodo ds2500's, an RS tuning remap and a pipercross panel filter. Other than that it's very standard and in immaculate condition... I can't credit Ste enough for the way he has looked after the thing!!

 

[.Andy.]

Enjoying it?

 

[Brett]

+1.

I'll never forget my first drive in my 172 after having my 1.2.

Incredible.

 

[fletch8]

Enjoying it?

clearly too much !

 

[andywa]

How you getting on with the new motor? Best colour and quickest obviously. Need pics.

 

[Ste666]

I got the impression Chris was really looking forward to picking it up so i'm guessing he can't stop driving it now
