I heard that as well ..................

Black RRS1's are cheaper to tax though, and do more MPG.

Goddammit!!! Over the last few days, I've had so much bad news re my car ........

1/. Stolen spare wheel
2/. RRS1 models are apparently depreciating at about £8000 a week
3/. RRS1 models are old and boxy
4/. Stornoway Grey is slower than black
5/. Stornoway Grey has worse MPG than black
6/. Stornoway Grey is dearer to tax

Geez ... guys ... all I need now is some troll to tell me that my pride and joy belongs on a council estate, and that'll finish me off!!!

Sorry, we don't want to advertise the fact that Black RRS1's are the best sports to buy, run and maintain.
We don't want them to be as common as muck now do we?

And to think, I was sooooooooooo happy with my boxy old grey car ....... still, at least I now know what to go for next time ......  Rangie History ....
