A standard car is only a group 7 or something daft like that.

A standard RST is a group 15

I thought i might get slated, but it seems all good. The white one in the pics mine. 1993, was just sick of looking after my RST so much, i need something i can treat like Sh*t and it wont fall apart. Will keep the RST thou and if i do sell it. It will be for a shapphire.

Are these starlets quite hard to work on?
