I've had my Arctic Blue 182 since new , back in February 2006 . From my knowledge there were only about 10 unregistered 182's in the UK back then . It's on a 55 plate , if i'd left it a couple more weeks it would have been one of the very few 06 plate 182's . And i still love driving it just as much now as i did back then , it still puts a smile on my face
. Having said that , i'd come from a 172 which i'd owned for 4 years from new also . Both cars cost me bugger all to run , mechanically anyway ( touch wood ) , other than the usual servicing , insurance , road tax etc .... plus my heavy right foot
