After much deliberation and feedback from various close friends saying "Sell the flaming thing as you never drive it" it is looking a very strong possibility that the RS500 will be sold. I already have a trader that has seen it and waving pound notes at me.

It also does not help when I know the car that looks to replace it (should I finally make the move) with will be nice and new, in WR Blue and have a 3yr warranty Still another play thing for the weekends, but with 4WD, can and will be used regardless of the weather....... oh yeah and all the panels are galvanised!

I have been lucky to own an RS500 that didnt cost me a fat lot (in reality), gave me the oppourtunity to spend another £8k on it (how nice that was) and end up with a shit shovelling 500bhp minx. Unfortunately i'm getting old and I need something that goes where ever I want it, in what ever weather and enables me to drive it more than 400 miles a year, without worrying about the wet, ice & salt etc attacking the mint bodywork.

I wonder if I will wake up tomorrow and come to my senses (In fact I think I probably have by coming to this decision). I don't mind having a car that has cost me £20k stuck in the garage (I mean the replacement will be £26k), but when I hardly ever drive it because of mullering the condition of it..... I think it's time to make a change.

It's been emotional
