Got a replacement

[ranger4tk]

Well after some debating, and doing sums, the 200 finally went
Was sad to see it go, a phenomenal car always put a smile on my face.

One of my favourite photos, taken by a CS member at a meet.



And a few from its final clean.





So the replacement ...







A very tidy 182FF, with some AST springs, and currently a decat yozza.

Not so many plans just yet, might consider the RS2 intake, but apart from that enjoy it like I did the 200.

Cheers,
Ed

PS. - Can I have a name change to Ed.182 now?

It's sad when this happens, a friend of mine had to sell his custom Astra Sri170 for an 11 year old 172. Nearly happened to me when I got made redundant, twice!

Not a bad trade off by any means but I bet you'll miss her!

At least you didn't get an ST. Muahahahaha

Ah mate sorry to hear about this, but at least you'll still have fun! Better fuel economy too I bet?

 

[ranger4tk]

Fuel economy was never and issue to me. Dont know why so many people made a big deal of it.
Still got a fun car to drive around in

At least you didn't get an ST. Muahahahaha

Haha very true! could be worse

 

[mitchell197]

I never think about it either, but on a motorway journey a few more would help. Don't care around town

If you're only doing 7k a year it's fine, but when you're doing 17k a year at an average of 26mpg it does add up. £6.5k in 18 months I spent on fuel.

I'm sure you'll still have as much fun in the 182

Enjoy your 182 still a fun car to drive

Love that first pic! Enjoy the 182!

Still hope to see you at trackdays ranger?

 

[ranger4tk]

Last 12 months has been around 3.5K in fuel is my guess, not totted up all from the last statement, but its in that ball park.

Still hope to see you at trackdays ranger?

Yes Will try and actually speak to you at one of them! Enjoy the RS days, so part of the reason for getting a 182 is so I can still do them.
Hopefully first one will be a day at Bedford in Feb, if the day goes ahead.
