That is amazing. I always wonder what the backstory is on these types of things. Brighton is the coast, I believe, which could explain the wheel corrosion. It may just have sat outdoors its entire life? The owner may not care, have other more important issues in their life or any number of issues, I suppose.

Boy, I hope I turn as cool as you someday, so I can be so nonchalant about everything, or be so narcissistic, that I don't care about anything I see, and just say hohum to it all.

Hopefully this will have a happy ending, as with Christian's car.

How difficult is it to import an RS into the U.S.?

Its a car, big deal, it can be fixed with some money. And since its not my car, it means nothing to me.

Ok, the wheels are corroded and the seats are torn and it needs a good detail/some paint work.

Should I be crying here because its an RS (OHMIGAWD).

The only reason I think its a waste is because it should be driven and not sitting forever.

Alright girls... If you need to swing your handbags at each other, do it via PM's.... Let's try to keep the drama under control for a while.... Please.

Regarding the original topic; it's pretty cool to see a 'neglected' example of such a coveted 993.

Any Idea where that picture was taken?

Along with posting the "witty" retorts, keep up here. Pic was taken in Brighton (assuming the one in England), according to the UK thread linked here.

Brighton, if near the sea (which I suspect it is from the corrosion on the Speedlines) I suspect will have much more corrosion than what is visible....
