They only look shiny with the camera flash, not so in real life. The match with the leather in the back is hardly a big deal in real life so not really bothered, they will be out soon to make way for 4 point harnesses anyways.
Well enjoying the comfort, the car is transformed and is much...
Went down to R-Sport in Wimbledon today to have my 24k mile service. Not bad quoted at £185 plus vat, but it gets better. Picked up a set of misanos off pacey yesterday and needed them fitted. Thought £30-50 should sort it.
Imagine my surprise when I turned up and the car was spankers with...
I will ask them for you when I pick her up later! They had another 182 in the garage along with a mk1 vee 6 and a 197 out front. Strictly RS models being worked on there.
I got 300 miles from £30 over the trax weekend, bit of london urban driving, high m/way speeds up there and then like 60 mph on the cruise all way back due to being loaded up with a set of Cobra Misanos. Usually 150-170 for £20. Really excellent for a 2.0. My old dynamique used to give 100...
Different cams can alter where peak torque is reached. Think you can get some schrick ones that produce the "5k kick" around 3-3500 rpm. Ideal for street racing or twisty circuits.

If the car was insured in your dads name the claim will be in his name regardless of who crashed. Had a couple of incidents on my mums policy a couple years back and it was her who lost ncd and had claim against her name.
Not at all mate, it brings a big smile to my face to see any rs model tbh. Got love for them all as I am an enthusiast not a badge bum boy. I have not seen any RS197 owners yet next to me or the like, but I rekon most will be looking down as I feel that the true enthusiasts that know and love...
^^^ Very true, like the way you think. As a fellow estate agent, it makes me cringe, especially when I was working in central london, to see these agents drving poverty spec beemers thinking they are the tits! 330 + for me.
Which area do you work in?
