Hi everyone. My first visit here having just purchased a very nice 2005 RRS 2.7TDV with only 60k miles on the clock with a FSH. It's a LHD as I have a place in Portugal and in a few months time I'm moving over there for good. I'll be doing a few commutes between now and then but not before it gets a proper service here and some new tyres. By the time I apply for full time residency there I will have had the car for over a year which makes it much easier (and cheaper) when it comes to matriculation.

I've loved the RRS since it first came out and so far it's living up to my expectations. I'm enjoying reading the helpful posts here and intend popping back every now and then to read views, opinions, and experiences.
