Say hello to FHH888V

[RUDDY]

Well I've done it , viewed the car this evening after work , struck the deal and towed it home. What a journey , 11 miles behind my recently bought Golf GTi in a car with no brakes , no lights , off the road for 12 years with my mate driving the Golf like he was qualifying for a GP. Did I mention the rush hour traffic as well..........definately a sufferer of Escortosis as I was more worried about the RS than the Golf.
Got the car home, in the glove box a letter still in the original envelope from the supplying dealer wishing the new owner good look with his 'new' RS2000 , original service book etc plus plenty dust and spiders.
98K on the clock with mot's , needs a good bit doing to it , usual sills , arches , strut tops . First owner 79 - 92 , second owner 92 - tonight.
What do you think.......

[lee bishop]

do i have to be the only nosy git and ask how much you got it for?? i know its rude, but i like to know what a find like this might cost, just incase i find a few quid that needs spending

[RS2000CUSTOM]

do i have to be the only nosy git and ask how much you got it for?? i know its rude, but i like to know what a find like this might cost, just incase i find a few quid that needs spending


lol - I suppose someone had to ask the question - lol

RUDDY dont answer otherwise your misses will find out :cyclops:

[RUDDY]

I don't mind telling , we all know what they are fetching , I gave the old guy £900 for it , he asked me to step outside while he had a cry and got the paperwork sorted . If I can sell the two good CN36's it will make it a cheaper car........

[RUDDY]

Interior , needs a good clean but is in 'reasonable' condition , back seat is mint , still has the black soundproofing around the steering shroud and under the dash where the bonnet release is.

[lee bishop]

well for that money, it looks like you did ok....... you'd double that if you broke it for spares.......especially on E-***, so it owes you nowt

[lee bishop]

just noticed..... no speaker holes......GIT!!!!!!!!!!!

[RS2000CUSTOM]

I dont care what you paid for it but the Turtle Air freshener on the dash has got to go ! - lol lol

[topaz]

nice turtle

[RS2000CUSTOM]

lol Topaz - beat you too it !

[lee bishop]

is it a riviera blue turtle? better than a brown one thats curious i spose..... what bike is under the cover ruddy? just being nosey....again

[RS2000CUSTOM]

I bet its a GSXR750 !

[lee bishop]

bit pointy just like they are.........cant beat hondas....LOL

[RUDDY]

Look closer for the speakers !!!

[RS2000CUSTOM]

To the rear under the door armrest !

[vinny]

Lee bishop - private eye sin2

Dave, this could this be lees new title, couldnt it :cheers:

[RUDDY]

20 points to Dave , 10 for spotting the speakers and 10 for identifying GSXR750K1.

[lee bishop]

i guess dave was at an advantage, cos he's probably seen it, i was 99% certain it was one, but didnt want to insult you if it was something else
i sacrificed my big bike to get my RS, got concerned for my well being in the end, still this is what i gave up.....

http://www.redslate.co.uk/upload/pics/side%20on.JPG

but i still have my RD, btw, still cant see them speakers.......

[Banishit]

bargin £900 notes theres nearly £200 in the centre console LOL
