IMDave Posted 10, December 2013 Report Share Posted 10, December 2013 Honestly didn't think I'd be able swing it past SWMBO, but took posession of my new Capsicum Red Trophy a couple of days ago. Gave it a wash, claybar, and a couple of coats of Chem Guys Blitz sealant on the weekend. This was an opportunity to go over every panel. Without a doubt the most beautiful work of auto design I've ever owned. Truly beautiful. And the bonus is ........it drives like a demon too.

IMDave Posted 10, December 2013 Author Report Share Posted 10, December 2013 Congrats and welcome Dave! Great choice How'd you swing it past SWMBO? Lol. Initially tried to trade her car in on Ford Focus ST, but they offered us bugger all for the trade in. When the changeover price was too high & she realised that she was going to end up with my 4yo Liberty wagon she understandably cancelled the idea. When I said the ST was always going to be a compromise anyway, she said I should buy the RS because that's what I'd always wanted. I love my wife. ( and my new car).

I think the window may have closed already. I bought a new Alpine CDA-137EBT to replace the stock H/U and she frowned at me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
