Not much about on the RS / Cosworth front, just the same cars that have been for sale for ages.

Why is this time of year always like this?

Because people know that it is a stupid time to sell cars - just after Christmas etc, winter still in full flow etc - doesn't exactly take a genius to work out....

That's what I thought. It's just grey and horrible outside all the time, not exactly "car" weather, even PassionFord slows down this time of year.

When do you reckon it'll start to pick up, March/April time?

Yep, I'd say April / May time, but the values also go up as well...

Been looking for over 18 months now just can't find the right car.

It will take a while to find a good one if you are looking for a specific colour and spec - good luck!
