took the RS out for a thrash at the weekend to celebrate it actually now being registered in the UK (and finally road legal).
Unfortunately, Hampshires finest country lanes - bumpy as a camels back, combined with potholes the size of small quarries, damp leaf covered corners and haphazard hat wearing Rover drivers going to the garden centre meant that for the majority of the time I was tip-toeing around, with the occasional clear stretch of road giving me the opportunity to savour the glorious cacophonay of wailing, whistling, banging, grating and grinding unique to the Clubsport - all whilst hanging on to the steering wheel and praying I wouldn't bounce off the road into one of the many turnip fields alongside.
Maybe its the Cup spec suspension, maybe my lack of ability & bravery, but I reckon that my sisters Punto 1.2l would have covered the same distance in the same time - with much less concentration needed...(at least I encountered no deer or Transits this trip
)
For a drive to stir the emotions you just can't beat the 964RS experience!!
