I am just back from a horse sale at Newmarket Suffolk and when driving up on the M11 from London City Airport towards Cambrige in my rental car, I have counted not less than 11 RRS and I have then seen 5 more during an hour of shopping in Cambridge. After that I have stopped counting...... As predicted by hamster Hammond on TG the RRS has already become a very popular car indeed....!

Here in Switzerland they still are a very rare sight but that will change in a month or two. I've been told that about 500 will be delivered between now and the end of January, all ordered after the car's launch back in June/July.

I'm in Cambridge, you should have come and said hello  Like this site? Buy some RRSPORT goodies to show your support!

I would have come to say hello if I would have known but I am in Newmarket quite often for the races and sales and hope next time we will meet up and have a drink or two.

Roland - I remember when I first got my RRS and I went to the Derby there were a large number of horsey people all wanting a look and saying that they had one on order. Seems to be a popular car in the racing world. 2005 Zambezi TDV6 - Gone but not forgotten
2009 Alaska TDV8 - Gone and much missed.

Very annoyed - Yes it must have something to do with class, elegance and subtle power, attributes thoroughbreds and the RRS have aplenty.

And that's despite what JC said about the tailgate being useless at point to point meetings! 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

Angus,

Yes I was selling some foals and also bought a mare at Tattersalls. I board a number of broodmares outside Maynooth in Ireland and usually sell the better foals in Newmarket. You know it's about getting paid in pounds instead of euros which makes all the difference.

For horsey people Newmarket is like heaven and given the chance and MONEY and I would dearly like to buy a small stud farm in that area. But unfortunately your brits are doing just too well and property prices have become way out of reach for an average guy from the continent where everything has gone down the drain...!
