Default Why...

...are 2wd Saphs so hard to find?!

I usually avoid browsing through cosworth ads because it is just a total tease as not buying just now. However i have decided i am going to be looking for a nice 2wd saph in a few months so thought i would start looking now and just keep an eye on things, prices, what's available etc but Jesus! everywhere i look it's 4x4 this and 4x4 that!!!

What's going on?! I just hope there is one (that's not white) available for me at the right time...

White white white, that's the colour i keep seeing 2wd's in and although it is nice i really want flint grey, ebony black, silver, magenta or crystal blue. Not all on the same car of course ha ha. Looks like it might be a bit of a challenge...
