Absoloutely fucking love them would give my right arm to own one.

Balls out.


Anyone who says "its just an escort" deserves a kick in the teeth then to be made a mockery of due to their lack of taste and understanding of what makes a car "good"


And whoever said "all other cossies are ming" i can see where your coming from with the saphire. But have you actually ever seen a RS500 PURE SEX!!

Awesome

Altho why do so many people copy them

An also, they often do it for the slighlty later model (the one with lights in the boot as well) as that is SOOOOOOO obvious
