Back in my honda days, people used to say "A type R is a type R".

Or "if it ain't a type R, it ain't a tight car"

A ferrari is a ferrari. etc.

^ I think Peter means we need a search engine to find out who first posted RSISRS on RL not the domain link

Likely used before that in massive text threads or emails or over large quantities of food.

Well, I’m happy to flip mine to you for let’s say 13k? Just a few scratches I’ll check with her this week!

Just heard back from her, bad news. As you can imagine the situation is getting worse on all SS sport models. She has you on the "list" but says it's grim. I just got back from Lucca, Italy from vacation and was in one of the nicest oldest family owned Rolex stores in the city center (108 years old and 3 gens) and they said, it's as bad as it's ever been. They had nothing in SS in stock and that Rolex is showing no sign of increased production at all while the demand worldwide has increased twofold. Sorry buddy, I'll stay on her....

Mooty, at the present time RsisRs is you. The Rsisrs.com domain is available. Buy the domain, park it and one day when you have time for a project, start your own registry or informational platform on the RS. I am sure within a couple years it will be a worldwide go to for all RS owners. You know so much about these cars, you have helped countless people because of your passion for them. All this information and experience you have is so valuable and important for all of us who own an RS, more importantly, valuable for future generations that no longer have a Mooty. I would be willing to pay for the first five years of registration because I love the RS and selfishly would love to tell my grandkids twenty years down the road that I helped fund the world famous RS website. 😆
