Very nice, I saw that in last week's Autocar on Parva's ad. How were they to deal with? I nearly bought an E39 535i from them, but they sold it before I could get down to Chepstow.

The Goodwood Breakfast Club when it snowed? Uh, huh. And we had to join a Police convoy on the A27?

Oh, maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan...

Not me, officer. I have four wheel drive.




Looking good, lads.




Is that snow?




Should we go before the RWD lads get stuck?




Absolutely the right car for the conditions.


Any pics of the cars whose owners didn't bale at the first few flakes?

Tom? Al?

But are we any closer to enticing Paul and his RS2 to a meet?

There's the Breakfast Club and there's a bit of a PH South Coast do on the 8th February.

Nope, it would look wrong with anything other than the original Cup alloys.

Sorry, but that doesn't look right at all (IMHO) too low, wheels too big etc, etc.

Makes a classy car look tacky.

The wheel design in that pic does not suit the RS2. I had an RS2 for 11 years, and toyed with other types of wheel/tyre combinations and finally reverted to the original cup wheels on 17" tyres.
