I sold the RB a few weeks ago with the intention of going sensible and derv or to purchase a cheaper vehicle, i couldn't find anything that caught my attenion...... Until this came up for sale

I picked it up from near Wantage yesterday and have to say it as a joy to drive home, a solid feel with the suspension uprades but the damping not set too firm for a nice ride. The colour is really nice, it kind of flips/changes between a blue, green metallic. I gave it a wash tonight after the 120 mile trip yesterday, ok some minor marks here and there but overall for a car nearly 9 years its certainly weathered well. It's nice that it retains it's original looks but has the suspension upgrades.
I now await the verbal beatings
