My rs now gone
Gone but the scars will last a longgg time. Sold the mercury grey s2 after all but it the year long of ownership must be one of the worst ever. From the bloke I brought it off to the one who did the work on it, I don't think il trust many sellers or mechanics again. Always been too trusting and want to believe the best in people but only got a couple months of driving it and lost about £4k.

I find this prob with some of the garages I've worked in, the boss wants to take on specialist work like performance engine rebuild when mechanics are only normally trained for standard stuff and they try it and fuck it. Best to use the well known engine builders if u can't do it yourself and most normal indipendant garages aren't skilled for that kind of stuff but some will take it on thinking they can make a quick buck on it. If I weren't a mechanic I could never afford to run my Cossie if I had to pay someone else to do the work
