Lukey. 381 Posted March 8, 2013 Report Share Posted March 8, 2013 Yea that cossie was nice, I have seen a black RS500 sierra only ever twice but it was the same one, I also spotted a focus RS500 once on the A59, probably the only time I ever would, if I could have taken a pic I would have. In fact I've seen a Ferrari 599 GTO more times than I've seen a focus RS500! Link to post Share on other sites
