Default The new whip!

Just picked this up yesterday. After much debating on selling the rs2000 and getting a mk1 rs I decided keep the rs2k and get another car. Its for me and the mrs to use.


Picked it up for £750 145k full service history im 3rd owner. Has a few niggles but not in bad nick. Has a custom stainless exhaust which does like to pop and bang.


People seemed to slate these cars saying they are slow and thirsty. Personally I think the performance is okay, mpg is fine. Great handling, comfortable, easy to drive and love the colour.


Needs a few bits sorting, laquer peel, headlight washers, small dent in boot and speedo light doesn't work. If anyone can help me out id appreciate it.

Also just bought for £460 quid! Unsure what to do with it yet, mot and sell keep or break. All I know is its rapid off the line!

Well I think its a cracking car. Seen such bad press on them with them being thirsty but for me its fine far better then the rs2k. Itll be for keeps that's for sure.


I could do with a few bits but your so far away


As for the French piece of shit. Alarm has a mind of its own going of a 4 this morning and wouldn't turn off!!
