not denying i had one.... 
its common knowledge
not denying why i got rid of it either..
i was too fooking old to have one (22) and it was turning in to an embarrassment! still... ive never had a pony tail so you cant collar me on that!
Dan, i thought you were younger mate!

Dave,
Put all these things away.
You owned one of the most chavved up RS Turbos ever to grace the planet - it's only recently you've seen sense, even if you do now own a pink WRC replica

Totally agree with Dave- Proper showup above say, 21 ish, maybe younger. Says to most people "boyracer with no money".
Fair enough some people dont care (or have other parts of them that is far more of a show up ), but most people dont like an image like that.
Its a 15+ y/o car but its no classic, just seen as a cheap boyracer mobile these days.
An S1 is a classic, but id still feel like a chopper if I used it as a daily drive, tho as a fun car to cane around just for the speed of it, id happily have.

lol @ some of the reply's
my convictions arent to do with the RST, well, maybe a couple are
anyways.. chap that put the 24k one up.. nice car, but it defeats the whole object of getting one.. and for that money, id go EVO anyday..
I wouldnt go jap meets... The point is, im loosing interest in cars in general. Just want a standard car, air con, NO squeaks or rattles I do enjoy driving it still, and with my young looks, i feel that i'll never be too old but im bored 6 years is a fooking long time to own 1 car.. and an expensive time
I dunno..
I know'll i miss it.. You get respect of people that know about cars etc..
just the other day, this old boy comes up to me in the petty station.. I thought, ol gowd, here we go turns out he had nothing but praise for it, and respect.. great condition ec, I felt proud and even waved as he left

Oranoco obviously does and fair play to him
BUT I still think he should have a weekend blast or a trackday in a nice sensibly modded and looked after early Scooby. Bet he would love it! great cars and great value!

Drove a mates 93 WRX and my only criticism from a driving point of view was I found it too easy to go quick in. I felt like IT was doing most of the driving for me

fair enough saying your too old for an S2 over 22. but then who would drive them and keep the marquee alive? imo at 22 insurance quotes are just getting reasonable for soemthing with a turbo on it!

Westy, just coz the cars worth alot doesn't mean its good!!! well not in my eyes!
And you think you get respect for throwing good money after bad on a 15 year old mark IV Escort
I certainly don't get respect for throwing loads of money at a shonky old Sierra! I think its actually quite sad!!! but at least the Sierra has a decent bit of motorsport heritage about it (not that it matters to me) ALSO it does goes very well on a track and it makes ME smile.... (well it used to!) Its also just a tracktoy... and not a road car! so I don't have to put up with it on the road

Dave,
You are missing the point though - a lot of people don't earn the sort of money you might be on, so I think it would be a little more ridiculous to be trying to scrape by with an Escort Cossie earning 20k a year etc

Not exactly like you can put your foot down in the RST without gripping the steering wheel like it's about to come off!
Lee - yes mate, you should! Now get that GT3 ordered

i see what oranoco is saying.. but its for that reason, I want rid
down the bumpy country lanes, my mates chipped turbo golf is quicker.. he just glides aver the bumps, whilst im fighting for my life grabbing the steering wheel
the other day, was in my mates evo.. 130 easily.. felt like it was 60.. in my rst that would feel like 300 down the country roads
and Rudey.. a standard one will do.. you'll just be wheel spinning the whole strip

I'd rather have my RsT that a scooby I'd get a 3door,saff,esc cossie any day before i went jap and if I was to go jap I wouldn't go near subaru !!
Dave why is it a "kids" car??? How many "kids" can afford the insurance?? Or do you mean anyone that is considerbly younger than you
And whats convictions gotta do with it I'd like to know how many cossie owners have them...... Quite a few I'd say
Anyhow Westy I'd stick with your rst or go cossie
