Fook knows why. Was wanting to get back into rs's...bought the s2. Ive done loads of little jobs to it, fitted the GRS and i got some winter plans for it....but now im thinking of selling it.....hell even P/X ing if needs be for a newer car. This bumpy, stiff steering etc etc just isnt floating my boat like it used to

 

lol, i love mine. Steering - feedback, ride - feedback/handling

Having said, i hate rattles, so its been stripped/soundproofed and is a much better car for it.

 

You need to ditch the gRS and everything involved with fitting it, as it will then be a REAL RS....

I shall send you the standard stuff off mine if you send it down to me.

I won't even charge you

 

It dont rattle, squeek or anything. Its a minter and i have a good one. Just seem to have lost intrest altogether. If i had 12k i wouldnt even buy a escos and thats my fave car,

 

You sound like you're in the same boat as I was/am Lee. I totally lost interest in the cars and the scene. Although I have been on here a bit over the last few days because, even though it's a laugh and a half to drive, there's really bugger all you can do to a VX220. I've even been thinking of a Focus RS next year, but I'd need to modify it and make it a bit unique, because I think they look bloody boring in standard guise when you compare them to the Escort Cossie. Get one of those GGR vented bonnets, a big rear roof spoiler, twin headlight conversion and some different rims on though and maybe we'll be on more of a winner. I don't know, I keep changing my mind to be honest, I wonder whether the RS scene has had it's best days now. When I was in my early 20s everyone wanted them but it's not really the same now.

 

Exactly the same reason I sold mine Lee Realised I wasn't as "in love" with it as I thought I would be, then realised I barely drove it wasn't bothered whether I had one or not. So decided to sell it as it was costing me money every month to sit there and do fuck all

 

Ahhh the rattles and the bumps the smell and the MW only crackly radio and all the other uncomfortable things about my RS i what i love about getting in it and driving it , it makes driving a much more rewarding experiance after driving a modern car with all its creature comforts.

love it and cant wait to get behind the steering wheel again

 

Exactly Thrush. If i didnt use this as an everyday car, it would not get used at all. I dont EVER go out for a raz in it or anything,ijust use it to go to work in and then to whereever IF linz is at work. If shes at home i use hers. I dunno.....but what would i get if i sold/px's it?

 

ya could be right rudey. I bought the free ads yesterday to look ofr a work car....but im scared if i take it off road ill never use the fooker

 

I had exactly the same thing with my Fiesta RS Turbo. After a year of owning it I realised I had even preffered my Fiesta 1.6s for some reason.

I sold it and got the GTI-R which enjoy owning much more and have no regrets about buying

 

sell it to me, ill clean it. kiss it, and probably even sleep in it, lolol

 

I think every body feels the same at some point. But i only use mine at weekends as i have a vito van in the week. Plus after driving the Vito all week the rs seems so quick and fun to drive.

 

well said gaz - i know mine isnt as old as yours, or as quick , but i feel the same about mine!

 

start trading in them, that way ya have the best of both worlds

get to drive lots of cossies and rst's make money and no headaches

 

there only toys

 

Only trouble if you sell it then next time one flys past you in your New diesel you will be gutted and want one. Think you should ride the hard times out.

 

& minters ae getting harder and harder to find! keep it!

 

So i'm told mate, but unlike like the RS nothing has ever broken!

 

Thats what happened mate. Sold the escos....wanted another RS a year later. Bought a S1....sold that thru lack of use....a year on wanted another...so i bought this....and i feel the same again.

God im like a bitch

 

More than most people on here know!!

LOL seriously though mate, if you aint getting any pleasure out of it then why bother spending the cash on it? Get it sold mate, if you get the urge again in the future then there's nowt stopping you getting another RS is there!

 

thing is that would probably be when it drives round the corner

 

P/X it with a 325i bmw mate, i know where theres one goin........

Neil
