New RS5 Cab...

Took delivery this week, still running in.

Could knock my old C6 RS6 off it's pedestal as favourite RS - did a 600 mile round trip in it yesterday and was absolutely fantastic, loving the V8 burble.

Getting old now though as did most of it in comfort setting.

Cheers,

Phil

Yep - Estoril Blue, must have been one of the last ones

The Lotus is great fun and I actually don't mind driving it long distances but the lack of cruise control to keep speeds in check and the noise are a drawback. Otherwise it's my track day / fun driving car with no ABS, no power steering, no power assisted brakes, no traction control, etc. Took a while to get the hang of it on the track and avoid spinning all the time.

Photo of the Lotus for those that asked



Cheers,

Phil
