i don't get it ? if its not your car why care what somebody else does with theirs.
theres no way anybody who owns one of them doesn't know what it is, a bit of dust and a fooking car seat on the dirty plastic bodywork aint gonna fooking write it off

so if the car mint was valued at 100k or another daft amount of money, you'd still put a seat on the roof? then leave it to get full of dust? because it "wouldent write it off"

doesnt matter he must not have a passion maybe like the people on here commenting on this thread obviously had to much money and not enough sense imonot trying to be nasty just being honest as stated above appart from you its a waiste why doesnt the owner sell it to some one who would really appreciate itit aint like there are a a couple of hundered on the roads or in heated garages some where kept back about 136 ish there can only be at most 100 nowthats why its annoying that people with to much money dont deserve stunning cars like theseor even rich people having them but taking care of them

i couldn't care less what people do with their cars, if they want to break them, crash them,leave them in a dusty garage etc,i bet the owner may not be happy that his car is on the net with people commenting that he doesn't deserve it.
why sell it when its sat in a breeze block garage with a cat sitting on it keeping its bum warm, oh and that car won't fucking rust as its plastic ffs i can't go on much more

how can a plastic laminated fucking car rust

i dont believe someone who owns an RS200 doesnt have a passion for what they were made for?

who buys an RS200 to just to gather dust or whatever? it clearly says on that thread the owner used to do rallying etc, so obviously does/DID have a passion at some point, and like most normal people, it DOES wear off after youve had enough
