Ricksta Posted 13, February 2020 Report Share Posted 13, February 2020 Morning all First post. I've just bought Safetymans beautiful 197-keeping the name Lucy. Amazing car, obviously been cherished and he was a lovely guy to deal with-very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about RS's. Car is as tight as a drum and looks great on the Megane grey wheels. Loved it so much driving home I thought 'mmm-maybe I should daily it' but really want to keep the klms down and in it's current condition. Unfortunately they beg to be driven-conundrum. Then I remembered-what about the 200 Trophy for sale with 55klms, some cosmetic issues and needing belts etc? Spoke to the guy-another really nice bloke. Clearly not an enthusiast like you dudes but owned from new with receipts for servicing etc. Went to look at it yesterday and it drove fantastically well. He'd really gone overboard on the cosmetic issues and the fundamental car's gem. Bought it-$6k-cheap enough to get the belts done and deal with a couple of cosmetic issues-won't worry about some of them. So-now got Lucy and Gareth (naming him after previous owner) tucked up in the garage ready to enjoy-one daily, the little lady on Sundays! We're up in the Hunter-some great driving roads up here. Be great to meet some of you for a drive day up here! 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttimbo Posted 13, February 2020 Report Share Posted 13, February 2020 Welcome and well done! Both good cars (the 200 will be, with some TLC) When I saw the price drop on Gareth’s 200, I was about to relapse, so thankfully you’ve kept me in remission. Beware the addiction, though [emoji23] 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricksta Posted 14, February 2020 Author Report Share Posted 14, February 2020 Thanks dudes Woke up this morning thinking maybe Lucy and Gareth had got it on overnight in the garage and I'd find a baby RS275 sitting between them-but no. still plenty of time they're just getting to know each other! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILLRCS197 Posted 21, February 2020 Report Share Posted 21, February 2020 Welcome Rick and congrats on your new purchase(s) I was the previous owner of your 197 before Carlos.

Friedchicken Posted 21, February 2020 Report Share Posted 21, February 2020 Congrats. 2 RS in not a whole lot of time. Took me years to get to my second 😁 Do the cars feel much different driving back to back? Which do you prefer more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
