Number EIGHT

Post by HYFR » Fri Oct 28, 2016 4:20 pm

My eighth B7 RS 4

but FIRST avant

:biggrin3:

Bought my first back in 2010 ... funnily enough, bumped into the Salesman that sold it to me earlier this week - small world.

Awesome cars

Had an amazing 12 months in a F-TYPE R, done 14,000 miles as a weekend toy and off to the Ring this weekend for a final 1,000 mile blast.

I've taken it to the Highlands, to Wales, to the Dales, to the Peaks, to the 'Ring, to Spa, to Italy, Frence Alps, Swiss Alps, Blackforst .... its been the BEST car I've ever owned.

But life moves on, and 2 seats are no longer practical, so where to go to

C7 too big sadly

B7 ticks so many boxes

its the ONLY naturally aspirated, manual GB RS product.

Simply its a masterpiece

Destined to be a classic

Managed to find a good example, known forum car

thanks to PaulRS4 and marc1 for looking after it
