I know someone who bought a new mk2 rs2000 loads of years ago and drove out the dealership tyres smoking, sideways and off

He's an old bastard now though, haven't seen him for ages

I'd take it back after a few thousands & get the latest updates!

Sarah did that to her's & it went loads better afterwards!
