    54 and a quarter. Love it. Just wish it was 500 kilos lighter. Makes me feel like an arthritic gymnast every time I get in and out doing the “shell seat bolster avoidance shimmy” It makes me feel like not taking the turning off home and continuing to drive it for another hour before eventually heading home. oh, and it makes me feel happy I plumped for the White , and the sunroof and shells and wheels and door protection and painted calipers and the Lux and the city stop and the extra warranty and the service plan and the GAP! One day I will get round to putting the mudflaps on.

     

     

     



    No nothing.

    No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

    No tackiness.

    Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

    Innit?

    Hi guys,  mere kids, I’m 66 in December and it is true its only a number. My RS was a retirement present to myself and I love it. After various BMW m’s this was the only one that kept  the adrenalin going and of course now I can get old gits insurance rates.

    All best wishes to all members of the forum.  Mike Hart

    I’m a young 66 and the RS is making me younger by the day.  At this rate I’ll be 21 again!
