    There's a 172 for sale at a garage down the road from here... Bit of a sexy beast it has to be said. I can imagine the 182 is drool-worthy

    Well as most of you know I traded in my 172 to buy the 182, so I kinda know what they're like.

    But those that have gone from 172 to 182, say it's more than "just an extra 10bhp". The whole package seems better, the "cup suspension" options make it handle far better as well.

    Heard some interesting news the other day.....

    My 172 was stolen from the dealer forecourt last wednesday night, along with another old shape 172 and a Merc A-Class.

    Got my insurance sorted, got the new reg number, so just need the car now

    Cocopops used the spare key.... he was so frustated with the slow Focus C-max... that he just had to go and have another go....

    They broke into the dealers, stole the keys from the keyboard.
    Move a number of normal cars out of the way, plus moved flag poles, put the safe into the A-class and off they went.

    It's on a main road, and the police station is less than 500yds away!!

    Yet no one saw anything.

    Just hope they didn't get the V5 docs and all

    Our local BMW dealership got an Alpina B3 nicked from the fourcourt, the dealer had only had ti two days after a trade in. He left the V5 documents in the glovebox, so it was a bit awkward with the law and all.

    make sure that the keys are in the fire-safe, and the car is locked in the workshop

    why are you on the net? Go and protect it from those Dealer monkeys... sit outside and guard her... and don't let anyone get past ya.... if somebody comes at ya with a crowbar... its not a new fashion accessory... they are attempting to break into the dealers and possibly steal your lovely 182 or even worse... a lovely megane lol.
