    Stunning!
    Biggest pisser for me was going to buy my first car after passing my test, this guy pulls in in a white RS and I'm taking out this Mk1 Astra Berlinetta and my dad says ask him what he wants for it. I says don't be daft dad it is worth more than I have. See the guy when we get back and he's partexd it for a jellymould 84 Sierra. Garage had given him £1500 for it. The Astra was up for £2K!!

    errr, 1000bhp per ton vs 118bhp per ton, I would have kept the bike :D
    The old RS2000 was great in their day, but there day went 40 years ago lol ;)

    I had a mk2 golf gti not long after I'd passed my test then a few years later I got my dream car a gunmetal grey gti 16v like this....

    It's the only car I've ever loved...it was so much fun to drive compared to cars today....because it was raw...and you had to actually 'drive' it
    Unfortunately my ex hubby misjudged a corner on the moors & took flying lessons off Curbar Edge into a tree :confused:
    Cry.....I never stopped :(

    Lozzy, I too had a love affair with a 1977 RS2000 which I did dearly love, but times have moved on.

    So, is Mr Lozzy going bikeless?

    Can you remember the time that he hid the keys to his bike to prevent you from getting your grubby little paws on them....

    Well..... The novelty of his RS will wear off and then he'll need a bike fix.... Can I suggest you return his favour and hide your Blade keys...:rolleyes:

    Yes, he's going bikeless o_O

    Might have to stuff him in the attic with the rest & trap a younger model :cool:

    Blade keys are safe...he's still got the Spatula scars on his hands from the last attempt :D

    Is that a BLOKE I hear coughing that they need reversing cameras to help them park!!
    AND Sat nav because they can't read maps :D

    Hurrah the truth is admitted at last ;)

    Had a lovely 1.9 in graphite grey but I couldn't put up with the amount of problems with the electronics.
