pretty chuffed but the car will be sold soon !
3 years and a half of ownership, there's been more highs than lows so I'm keeping it for now :tongueclosed: some of you might have seen the car in various Mt Ventoux & Route Napoleon trips (i live in Provence).
It's probably late to start a log since the car is nearly coming like I wanted to...
Wanted to go to Nice to meet someone, and wondered if it would be possible to go through the Gorges du Verdon and route Napoleon at this time of the year. The weather was sunny and windy, which would prevent too much ice forming on the road. I checked the 182 tyre pressure and oil level and was...
Well for my BG182, I'll get :
- leather Recaros
- Ultraleggera's
- GAZ or Sachs dampers
- brand new paint (same colour)
- Pure Motorsport shifter (maybe)
- full inox exhaust line (maybe)
- Brembo 4 pot calipers (maybe)
- lots of tyres, fuel and weekend trips :)
hi lads,
gave the BG182 a good wash, put 4 new PS3's on it and went to Mt Ventoux with the lady
excellent weather on the morning, was a bit cloudy afterwards. there was still some snow on the north face !
met some Renault Sport ancestors on the way down and some nice oldies too like the Chevy...

i guess it's all personal and i crave for the recaros but i'm afraid it won't give me any driving added value. From what i've read they sit 10mm lower than the standard seats...
Hi lads,
Despite living an hour and a half away, I didn't have a chance to go to Mt Ventoux since last year (see last year's thread)
Well the autumn soltsice was a kind of motivation so we left home at 6 in the morning to be on top for the sunrise. There are three roads going to the summit ...
Hi lads,
I thought I'd share with you my journey to the Mt Ventoux with the BG 182. For those who don't know about it yet, it's a mountain near Orange in the south of France that is famous since it's visited by the Tour de France since 1951. It's also the scene of historical rallyes and...
Hi everyone,
Let me introduce you to my BG 182, bought last October with 53,000m and FSH. It's after coming on this forum that I discovered it was a FF, I was just aware of the Cup chassis when I bought it !
I was surprised by the ride and the steering weight but it soon became part of the...
