I pulled the pin on an ex-demo es700. Couldnt resist the price. Currently throwing spanners at it getting it rally-prepped

I sooo miss my 701. I'm blown away by what I've been able to do on the 500s, and am in the middle of getting an 'iceman yeti' with rallymoto on the 890, and really enjoying its power and soundtrack, until I have to pick it up...
