Not yet, only at the Auto Show and the local dealership. I've yet to see one on the roads, but I'm not surprised - there are only a handful out there at the moment :)

Not to continue the hijack, but I saw one here in Surrey, twice in the same day. It was that nice oragne colour, I'll try to get a pic one day.

i got the limited edition version of this, but it doesnt have the hardback as it was from the printers who made the books
there is nthing wrong with it, it has the extra 200+ pages in it, just unfortunately no hardback!

motorsportnerd - fan of the RS500? I love it!!!

To see in full size click on "В другом размере ". Excuse me for not very good quality.

well, since Peterson revived (worthily) the thread, I'm going to make a question:
why the book has so weird prices on Amazon or Ebay? you can have it brand new for less than 100 € still they ask even up to 500 € without saying it's one of the special editions nor being one of the signed ones.
any suggestion?

link not working. btw, it's available for even less at their official site, that's why I asked above for some info about the books and the weird prices asked all over the internats for the basic edition.

I did a quick google search to see what all the fuss on this book is. Amazon is flogging it to Aus for $631 brand new. Start at $200 used, why so pricey???
