Prescott Hillclimb -182

[Rich]

My mate sent me the CD with the images of my 182 on the hillclimb track at Prescott near Cheltenham a few weeks ago. Was good fun, nice an twisty so suited the 182. Narrow and windy so mostly 2/3 gear all the way up. (Ist out the hairpin!)

Blimey! How clean???

Beautiful.

 

[CHRIS172CUP]

That car is WAY too clean, how the hell do you get it like that?

 

[martynh]

What did you do? Drive it straight from the dealer?

Oh sorry you couldnt have done you have the front splitter attached!

 

[Rich]

It had 1150 miles on it at the time. I brought it back in March just dont use it enough!

Polished, sealed and waxed with to many products to be honest.

 

[Lee]

Fantastic mate. I saw the pics over on the RS forum earlier. I dont think Ive ever seen such a shine.

 

[Rich]

Cheers Lee, to many miss spent hours in the garage! I do like to drive it though LOL!

 

[Weeman]

ESP off and liftoff when people are taking pics of you. LOL

 

[Rich]

I didnt know where he was stood! ESP was off though.

 

[welsh172]

is this car made of liquid??? wish my black one was as shiny as that.......

 

[jon_r]

What was the event? I take it it wasnt a competitive event because of the lack of a crash helmet.

Never seen a car that clean. lol.

 

[Rich]

It was at the Peugeot Sport Official Owners Club national day. The have held there day there for the last few years. My membership was still active after years of owning Pugs, with free entry and the sun out and only 6 miles aways I couldnt resist but to pop up and do a few runs.

Yeah Jon it was non competitive and not timed hence no need for a helmet. Last year I took my old 1.9 up so it was a good comparison.

Cheers - Great pic, I dont think it is possible to get ring speeds at Prescott though!

 

[Jay]

Looking ace r-jay! *thumbs up*

 

[182_blue]

very nice, **mental note ** must get a black car next

 

[jonnyboy]

awsome, black is so the best colour for a 182, loving the oldskool pug too

 

[Rich]

Cheers guys.

Blue- you know it makes sense!

Jonnyboy - I miss the old 205 but the 182 is as close as you can get in modern day hatch.

 

[Phill1978]

[ukaskew]

Any more details on Prescott? Do they do open track days? Cheltenham isnt too far away from me.

There is the link to the site, I think they have days where you can take you own car up. I attended at another car clubs event.

Hope the link helps.

Cheers, I was well chuffed when I got the CD, full size the images are huge. Taken with my mates new camera.

 

[Brazo]

Wow great pics mate, nice to see a superbly detailed car in action rather than just sitting on a drive way (like mine)!

 

[GarethM]

that car is ridiculously clean!!!! awesome dude, nice pics and nice pug aswell

 

[Rich]

Thanks guys...I do miss the 205, but the 182 is the best modern day replacement.

Mark, I like to keep it clean, but you gotta use them! Mine spends to much time in the garage as it is (1071 miles since March ) and not been driven for a couple off weeks now! Hopefully have some time tomorrow and off work next week which will help.
