If you are in a financial position that you can destroy an investment like an RS500 by all means do that but that's rather silly don't you think.
Last May at Simply Ford day at Beaulieu I met a guy with a nice looking White RS500. On speaking to him he told me he had owned it for 12 years and it had done 103,000 miles. He used it regularly and told me he loves driving it.His choice but as he said he bought it to have fun in not as an investment. I must say I was impressed by his attitude.
