Default Bye Bye RS Turbo :cry:

Well what to say?? Just waved goodbye to my pride & joy today. Ryan came over from Ireland this morning to collect it and is on his way to catch a boat back to Ireland! I am gutted now its gone

Its almost 4 years to the day since I purchased it and its been a long long slog to get it to the stat its in today. But its been worth it. Oh well, hope you enjoy the car Ryan. Its Pug 205 track day car now for me..... oh and a house

Details of the car in my rebuild thread here: https://passionford.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=147340





Bye

No way Dan! I didnt even know you'd decided to sell it

So much blood sweat and tears went into your car, I hope you've made the right decision

Good luck with getting into the track thing and of course a house

Thanks Clare, I didn't even put it up for sale. Ryan had been after it last year but I kept turning his offer down. I just feel the time is right now

one of the nicest in the country
Thanks matey

Aside from Tony Turbos, that was my favourite RS Turbo.

Loved that car, and I even broke something on it

Onwards and upwards though!

Cheers mate, enough to make me sell it well before i thought i would

Westy, Dan............

I know what you mean Steve, but I did most of the shows this year. Took it to brunters, had a mag feature and drove it round silverstone. I think I've had a fair amount of use out of it Onwards and upwards i guess

Yes I had great fun explaining why there was no bonnet catch on the car. It also wouldn't start for 20mins after you had sat in it! Obviously didn't like you much

Thanks btw

I cried my eyes out when i sold my fiesta, 7 long years and over 10k gone with little return. every nut an bolt probably touched at some stage and you remember all the good times and also times when you hated it and wanted rid!!

Got my dream now though so not such a big blow......good luck with the Peugeot!!!

Well all I can say is that Dan couldnt have been a nicer bloke about the whole thing...

A top top man..


I would also like to take my hat off to Dan again and say the car is absolutely stunning... The journey up to scotland from luton was errrrrrrr fun but we made it in time for the boat...

dan thats a fukin awful foto of me... I look like I have a ginger beard lol...

Anyway the car is absolutely unreal... That engine on high boost is just insane for an RS Turbo... the way it picks up and goes is seriously mindblowing...

The car has had its fun for the so called "winter" now its time to tuck it away and start ordering some new parts for it... First off is a nice set of AP Brakes off Mr.Rainbird...

Again thanks dan for such a superb car and for listening to my shite for the past few weeks!!!
