Default Bought another Rs .

Seen this advertised on FB ...so decided to go have a look anyhow ..what a absolute mint car ..only done 110 miles in last 4-5 years ..sad story behind it ..the owner only had a few months and had a bad stroke and never recovered that we'll ..ended up paralysed down one side..felt right sorry for him ..real genuine guy .. life is so cruel at times .

Anyhow here she is ..people will probably know the car

lovely car, yes i'm very jealous. I miss my rs turbo.

Really is a sad story about the previous owner, does show you that you just can't predict tomorrow and to live as much as you can.
