Hello mate, you might want to post this on the RS Owners club forum too .

 

11-13k should see you with one of the best saphs in the world mate!

but having owned one, i'd rather hold out for a nice Esc cos

have a look in the for sale list on here. few good ones about!


PS: bad sky-diving accident! surely that usually only ends one way!

 

thats what I was thinking. I'd consider it a 'good' sky diving accident if you're on here looking for a car.

Good luck though.

 

I remember seeing a programe on TV. Guy had a camera on him, parachute failed to deploy. He landed in a bush at great speed, the noise was horrible, but he survived!

 

Yeah I saw that too! Guy was saying his goodbye's to his family and all that, it was horrible. Not many people can jump out a plane and live. Maybe it was this guy..?

 

the guy that waved goodbye too his family , he was a english guy but was jumping in new zealand..not me

i had a band landing broke my tibular / fibular dislocated ankle out in spain a few weeks ago..... got a few plates screws and pins holding things together , can jump in about a years time but if i have another impact injury like it they dont think they will be able to save it ... gutted ... but hey a cossie will keep me entertained...

 

Sounds like your a pure adrenaline junkie!

Not sure spending your weekend in the garage fixing your car will quite fill the gap

Only joking dude, if your spending upto 13k for the right car you should get a nice one!

 

quite like that white escort,
