Common as much these things:
Yup, I could've dropped by in mine (0164) to make it a hat trick! :)

Great to see both RS out together, both lovely cars. I've got some pics of ROO 4 from around 1996 somewhere, will look them out.

Wow! 8) Was looking pretty good back in '97, too!

Did it loose its reg when sold to the states? They can be re-assigned can't they? If it was mine I would want ROO4 back on :wink: :)

Where was it photographed Nigel? A PCBG event?

Yes, whisper it... PCGB at Althorp in 97.

And as Vic says (nothing wrong with his memory, most of the time :wink: ) it was in good company. Peter Lloyds "old' car, now 73 RS in the middle, another fabulous RS.

Excellent snaps Nigel - I have very fond memories of chasing Roo down to the factory in 1998 on one of Mark's trips - epic driving. Strange how the mind remembers things, I always thought of Roo as Viper Green until a few years ago - your photo with '73 RS' and Roo in the background point out just how big a difference there is :lol:

Thanks Philip, altho' old pre digital pics I'm afraid.

Funnily enough, in these pics Jade doesn't look that far off the Mint Green 964RS behind 73 RS... but you never know until you see them side by side.
