Pez Posted 15, April 2012 Report Posted 15, April 2012 Hi Gents, I picked up my new 250 on Saturday from Lismore and drove home yesterday. WOW, how good are these cars. I brought the car with 13,000 kms on the clock from Peter and Karen who won the car in a magazine prize, and as they are country type, they didn't really want it. Actually Karen refused to go in it, because of the seats. Free Megane 250, does it get any better, well I didn't get it for free, but am happy with how everything went. It's a luxury model with all the bells and I'm in love after about 1000kms in the first day, what a great start... Here's a sneak peek... Quote
Teki04 Posted 15, April 2012 Report Posted 15, April 2012 Ha, welcome back to the fold! Fantastic cars; and I'm sure you'll only continue to love it more and more. First mod? Quote
walkie86 Posted 15, April 2012 Report Posted 15, April 2012 Haha nice work Braden! Where was the car advertised? Glad you went with your heart on the new car purchase! Quote
Apex Posted 16, April 2012 Report Posted 16, April 2012 Uh-oh, another convert.. before we know it we will all be in RS250's! Congratulations Blue182... or should that be white250? Quote
DanSA Posted 16, April 2012 Report Posted 16, April 2012 Sweet Braden! Yet another repeat offender, says a lot for the brand huh. Enjoy it!! Quote
Ccrowe795 Posted 16, April 2012 Report Posted 16, April 2012 Was that the Top Gear magazine car? Awesome score! Quote
acrRS250 Posted 16, April 2012 Report Posted 16, April 2012 Nice pick up! Enjoy. Where was the car advertised? There was a white one in a rural area on carsales with around 13,000kms from memory. Quote
nemz Posted 16, April 2012 Report Posted 16, April 2012 Congrats Braden! That's an awesome find. Quote
chiapoco Posted 16, April 2012 Report Posted 16, April 2012 Welcome welcome 1000ks on the first day, not bad! Sure you'll be enjoying it for awhile to come Quote
Pez Posted 16, April 2012 Author Report Posted 16, April 2012 Thanks gents, it was the car advertised rurally on carsales. The first mod?, well after the epic pretty much allday clean, I've debadged the back. I guess that counts, then maybe defoam the airbox, then a K&N. Car doesn't need much it just feels so solid on the road. Here's a couple from a little drive today. The better half had to drive and approve or I'd be sleeping in the garage. Quote
onurbmil Posted 16, April 2012 Report Posted 16, April 2012 I am very jealous. I wish I could have won an RS250!!!! Looks like a white trophee. So did the other half approve after a drive? I'm planning to get mine to go for a test drive Quote
Ccrowe795 Posted 16, April 2012 Report Posted 16, April 2012 Another White RS CT. Seems to be a winning combo. Quote
jucafodisport Posted 16, April 2012 Report Posted 16, April 2012 Congrats man I know you will love it!!!!! Looks tops Quote
rmadrid-182 Posted 16, April 2012 Report Posted 16, April 2012 congrats Braden! love the white, so happy for you.. be interesting to gather your thoughts with going from the hooligan 182 to the 250's turbo Quote
Adrian-Bstar Posted 16, April 2012 Report Posted 16, April 2012 Nice one Bluie!!!! Congrats mate. Really glad you got into an RS again. Looking forward to catching up for a drive, you might even be able to keep up with an R26 now I so wish I known, I'm in Grafton, you would have driven right past me! I brought my new truck from Lismore a few weeks back, it's white as well. Has twice the horsepower tho Quote
Pez Posted 17, April 2012 Author Report Posted 17, April 2012 congrats Braden! love the white, so happy for you.. be interesting to gather your thoughts with going from the hooligan 182 to the 250's turbo Thanks Riz, well, I still don't feel as confident in corners as I did in the 182, the way the car communicates which also comes from being so light, I don't feel in the 250. Time will tell if that type of feedback eventuates. But it's just so nice to drive, plenty of punch, feels alot stronger than the Clio and pulls from down low, so overtaking and building speed is down in a far more civilized way. If you are considering a change I would defiantly say, go for it. Nice one Bluie!!!! Congrats mate. Really glad you got into an RS again.

Yes I went through Grafton, shame I didn't realise you were there. I thought you didn't have the beast anymore. I am very jealous. I wish I could have won an RS250!!!! Looks like a white trophee. So did the other half approve after a drive? I'm planning to get mine to go for a test drive Yes she did, but she's really an A to B person, so it's more of she didn't dislike it. She still laments me selling her Lantra wagon. Quote
Moosey Posted 17, April 2012 Report Posted 17, April 2012 Nice work, Braden! Looking forward to checking out the new beast! Quote

Pez Posted 19, April 2012 Author Report Posted 19, April 2012 Was that the Top Gear magazine car?Awesome score! At the shops today and had a flick through a Top Gear magazine will waiting, and what do I see, my winner of my car looking very happy with himself. Oh well, all mine now... i reckon give you a week or two, you'll forget the old faithful, the 250 is just so modern and so much better built.. suspect missus secretly loves it but won't admit it.. Sounds like the perfect time to update there Riz... Quote
