10,000 Club

ducks butt · Apr 18, 2006

Woo Hoo, 10,400 miles of fun fun fun driving. Only a few small problems, (being hit up the arse and the dodgy sensor). But all in all i love the Trophy. Will be staying for a long while.
Should reach 12,000 by next week. Nice trip to France on Thursday. lol

I'm at a mere 7100...unless that time away set him back some I'm guessing Ollie is still leading, so to speak :wink:

i've burst through the 10000 miles barrier as well this weekend, no problems at all really. only additions to the car are re upholstered rear seats and a scratch on the rear bumper where i reversed into a wall!!!!!

Bring on the next 10000 if they are as much fun as the first

You guys need to slow it down a bit, maybe walk to the shop for once

don't forget mine is 003 though, so a bit older than average - i'm on an 05 plate :boohoo:

haven't actually been driving that much since i've had it, apart from a 1500 mile trip to france at Christmas. Will probably pound the motorway miles a fair amount in the summer when work gets busier...

I've been give two feet for a purpose. One to accelerate and brake and the other to help change gear.

DomB · Apr 24, 2006

Almost upto 13K now and not even a trip abroad to show for it!! It pains me to see it, but at least I'm getting some good fun out of the little beast!

=D> Just passed the big 10k.

chunktrophy · May 2, 2006

only 1600 miles on my 05 plate, guy i bought it off had it as a toy and never used it!!!

i have done 400 since i got it!! 150 of those bringing it home!

i only do 100 or so a week, will take a while to catch up!!

ducks butt · May 5, 2006

Just had my 12k service done. Took it to BB Tunning, with the Cliosport discount it was Ã‚Â£119.00. Really friendly service, recomend them highly if your in the area.
I'm now looking forward to the next 12,000 miles.

SteveC · May 5, 2006

Yeah i am on 11500 now hopefully the 12k comes after i have been paid. Likely hood of that LOL ZERO.

Only problem i have is BB dont have any courstsy cars, and i work to far away to get a lift bugger.

Will have to have a word with them.

ducks butt · May 5, 2006

i took a day off, and my mums office is just up the road so i went and did some typing for her.

The service only took a few hours, so try and hang about and wait. They have an xbox in the reception.

I thought there was a Ren 5 turbo meet up there, i must have counted about 7, couple of nice 182's and a few scoobies too.

get the bus!!!!!!!!!!

jezza l · May 5, 2006

i'm tempted to take mine to a specialist rather than a main dealer who'll probably cause more issues like they did on my old 182.
My only fear is when it comes to selling the trophy people still look for full dealer service history!!

Totally agree mate, I think I will take my car to a specialist, probably Rentech as they are alot closer to me than BB (although I did used to go to BB when I had my 5 Turbo, and Ã‚Â£119 is a total bargain for a 12k service for a 182!), but I do think that some prospective buyers will be put off as the service history is not main dealer.

My plan is to keep all documents, service records etc and hope that the next owner sees that despite the lack of a main dealer history the car has truly been cherished and treated with the upmost respect, then hopefully this will count for more than just the dealer stamps in the book.
