when we had the 3 door there was always someone who had one or there mate had one, normally go's something like 'yeah, RS500, i/my mate had one, great car, 500 bhp, got bored of it though....'
when i used to point out it wasn't an RS500 they get pissed off, then you get 'yeah it is'

a couple of months back in the escos i had a run of a few weeks of people asking me if it was a real one, a few saying they never made a silver escos i normally tell them its an XR3i, then leave with all 4 wheels spinning
