Not a cool colour. They come in this cool dark purple - Looks alright?

Though, get a V50 - Those sedans have the world's smallest boot....

I've just had a look at one forum and I'm utterly shocked. I've only looked at about 2-3 weeks of posts and already seen a load stolen, people's houses broken into for the keys, and someone mugged on his own driveway for the car :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Having read that I would NOT want the liability of having one of those things unless it was completely de-badged with standard alloys, rusty exhaust tip, etc

They also seem to be a right target for vandalism

Yes it is really bad, I never knew it was going on either.

I don't know whether it's scally's taking them to rag around for a it or wheher they're being boxed up and shipped abroad?

One guy on the Forum was reporting the value of ST's to be dropping by £400.00 a month recently :shock:

Good job my 406 Diesel is safe - hell I'd have to leave the engine running with a big pointy sign saying "TAKE ME" on it :lol: :lol:
