I cannot for the life of me find a good RS down south.

Where do you guys look when you want to buy?

I'm looking for a decent 4x4 saff at the mo, I live in Glasgow, and have resigned myself to the fact that i'll need to travel WAY down south to get one.

You can't include travel costs when looking for any RS, as these can sometimes mount up.
