terrytaipan Posted 12, September 2010 Report Share Posted 12, September 2010 G'day Guys, Just picked up my Titanium Silver 182 on Saturday. Got it for $13800, which I didnt think was too bad for one in Vic, (every other one was over $15000). One thing I wasnt to keen on was the aftermarket rims, but then again, I didnt buy the car for how it looks.. Anway, took it for a blast around the Yarra Blvd in Fairfield today, and OH MY GOD, I had read all the reviews and everything the members had said about the car, and it lived up to all expectations and maybe exceeded them too!!!! The way it was so eager to keep going and going, and with my mate by my side not believing what this car could actually do!! all while going "woooooooooaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh" each time i hit the accelerator to speed up off the next bend... He could not belive the power the car had. Once I get my head around how to drive this thing properly (not quite sure how hard I can go round the bends yet), I am sure I will have alot more fun than just the straight line thrills it delivers!! Anyway, very glad to finally be a member of what looks like a great community!! Cheers, Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser215 Posted 12, September 2010 Report Share Posted 12, September 2010 Welcome to the community mate! Does this happen to be the car with a little dragon badge on the rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytaipan Posted 12, September 2010 Author Report Share Posted 12, September 2010 Thanks Ben, Yeah, its the one with the dragon badge.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser215 Posted 12, September 2010 Report Share Posted 12, September 2010 Cool! I recently bought a 2002 172, but this was one of the cars i briefly looked at. They all go like crazy. I love the stability of the car in the corners. Just be careful with the cops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmadrid-182 Posted 12, September 2010 Report Share Posted 12, September 2010 welcome terrytaipan! 182 silver = sexy! Glad you love the car and you got it at a good price too! Probably a good place to work out your car's threshold is at a skidpan or a track. Anyway welcome to OZRS! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dish Posted 13, September 2010 Report Share Posted 13, September 2010 Welcome! You certainly bagged yourself a bargain!! Happy motoring PS: we are having a drive day on the 25th if you are feeling up to steering it around some nice corners... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dish Posted 14, September 2010 Report Share Posted 14, September 2010 ah, no probs! Not a track day though - just out in the lovely Yarra Valley where the roads are deserted due to some ball game that's on that day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
