Yup most in the big rust heap in the sky, on local council estate, on a track or locked up in garage under moth balls.

Though i did see a nice Escort Cossie on the M42 on Thursday

Never see any up here on a day to day basis - seeing one is a very rare occasion, with exception to my local RSOC meet.

I think they are very rare, been out and about today in the escos and didn't see a single RS to wave at

the only thing of interest I saw was this :-

I hardly ever see Cossies or RST's round here apart from Kevin B's Saff and two white S2s.

I can say with some confidence that I see at least 3 cossies a week other than my own, lots of them down here!

Shocking I can't leave my house without seeing an RS, there are that i know of 5x 3dr's, 3x Escos's, 9 saffy's and ive lost count of the rs turbo's within a 25 mile radius of my house, and i live in the arse end of nowhere .

I've seen a few more s2's recently, a few saffs etc...
moreso now the weather is nice

Mine wont be on the road come October onwards after finding out mine is probably one of the cleanest mk4's in the country underneath

That said, nice weather does bring the nice cars from under the stones
