I just worry about that engine.

You're supposed to check the oil EVERY time you fill it up. And at 23mpg (Friend of Mrs ST has one) that's a lot of oil checks/top ups.

And anything called is always going to cause trouble!

We we're talking about Focuses the other day... they're actually OK cars and if it's just to hoof about from home/shops etc then what's the problem? Keep the RRS for when people say "what car have you got?" and send Mrs SuperT off to the shops in the Focus.

Yep - or if you got the white one, it'd even keep cooler! Don't forget white is the new black or orange... or silver

2006 Range Rover Sport TDV6 SE Arctic Frost

Ford are bringing out the Focus Cabriolet soon. I saw a few photo's of it a work last night. Not a bad option as a second / wifey car.

So maybe that would fit the bill. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

Yeah, but a burberry baseball cap would go well with a Focus Cabriolet. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE. Aspen Leather, Cherry Wood, Privacy Glass, PTI, Tow Pack, Mudflaps, Tasmods, a new Fuelflap, a RRSport.co.uk umbrella in the boot & a RRSport.co.uk sticker on the rear glass.

Right. Lets re-group and re-focus! When we get there, the situation will be:

Currently have RRS TDV6 and need a 2nd car.

Poss Focus ST or RX-8

Would like a RRS V8D S/C spec, and TDV6 for Mrs ST. She doesn't agree! We don't need 2 big cars. OK

Back to RRS TDV6 and one of 2 above.

Long term aim is to have RRS V8D S/C spec for 'Big car' and a Gallardo

Problem is TDV8 = CY£90k (UK£111k)
Gallardo = CY£160k(UK£196k) And probably no dealer in sight!

Not really an option unless things REALLY go well!

Back to sq 1!!!!

TDV6 + Focus ST/RX-8..............

Could sell RRS and make a stinking great profit on it (Could probably sell it for approx. CY£54k/UK£66.5k)

You could really sell your current RRS in Cyprus for 66k?

Trouble with going the DV8 route is the wait though...

It's a good thought and UK price is attractive.

Problem is you would need to add approx. CY£25,600 duty to that price (+UK£31,400!)

2005 Range Rover Sport TDV6 HSE Rimini Red

SuperT, why not get a Series 1 Landy like the ones parked by the door at LRE Solihull ? Or you could go way up market and get a 20 year old Series 3. 2.25 l engines less powerful than a lawn mower and more rattles than a desert snake but enough character to star in Shrek 3. You know it makes sense...... RRS TDv8 HSE Rimini
