    I don't know how rare they are, I remember the owner banging on about it being his dream car, searching high and low for it etc. To be honest I don't think I'd have known the difference back in 1990, nor now probably....

      Well depending on the model they can fetch anything from £40k to over £1,000,000. That's for an original not a replica or 'recreation' as many are called, depending on age and model, the fake ones can be as cheap as £20k all the way up to £100,000.

      Nice of him to let you have it for a week though.

          Two reasons, one is that a number of cars can be seen as an investment, not as many as people think but there are some that will appreciate in value. Secondly the money people are willing to spend on an item is all relative to A) how much they want it and B) how much they can afford.

          The problem is when people spend money they don't have on items they don't need.

                One of only 10 ever made, that makes it pretty exclusive. Then again I've yet to see a DS3 Sport with a dent in the door like mine

                  Although she's supposed to have nothing less than 98RON, I use BP ULTIMATE in the Racing. It is 97RON but I like the idea of the cleaning benefits. I don't know how much I look into all this RON business. 1RON can't be that much surely?

                    ^ Another Ultimate user, as me. Cleaning benefits what sold me too
                    Car feels smoother in comparison to Momentum and VPower

                        So just a little dumb question in here.

                        It's ok to just start filling RON98 and not RON95 and back, there is no need to do anything else? like reset something or something?
                        A friend of mine mentioned something about it, and got me a little worried.

                        I useually run Esso RON95 on her, but this summer I tried RON98, she seem liked she ran smoother, but not sure cause the weather was nicer and her engine didnt get too cold.

                          You do not need to do anything skylaq, just fill it up and go.

                            Just changing the fuel is what I would do. Cant do anything else really
                            Maybe first tank is half old fuel, and half new fuel
                            Takes at least 6 full tanks for the ECU to fully assimilate to the new fuel, then you should notice it smoother (Burns better/cleaner too)

                              Good to know.
                              Next time, if I do, I'll go for the half and half for the first change!
