My 4x4 cos has been used daily for the last 7 years

Cars are meant to be driven, not stood in garages collecting dust

Every RS Ive owned has been used daily, and as most people who know me will tell you, they aren't given an easy ride, whats the point in having a fasdt nice car, and leaving it in the garage

I would consider another Saff people tend to leave em alone Escos and 3 doors seem to draw so much attention and i no ive owned a few cossies so far
