Hi guys, new to this site

Well ive been into Fords pretty much since I started driving. I bought a S1 Rs turbo when I was 19, thn movd up and got an extra rare Escort Cosworth Monte Carlo, which was minty mint, it was even used for a buyers guide in Performance Ford Magazine








After xmas last year I was fed up of only using the car for few months a year in the summer, so the decision was made to sell up and get a Focus RS

I managed to bag the last Focus RS made and is #4501 out of 4501

It was driven from Germany by Autocar Magazine and featured in that, here is a link

www.autocar.co.uk/News/NewsArticle/Ford-Focus/204665/

and a pic of my car on Fords press release




And here it is now


Car has a milltek exhaust system, decat, and a bluefin superchip and im loving it.

Looking forward to meeting people on the May run.


So thats about it, hello everyone wavey

I was chugging along in my Citroen Picasso hire car in Majorca and a blue Focus RS overtook me. Made a change from all the Renault 4's. Yes, I know I made that sound like all the Renault 4's overtook me but they didn't...well, not many anyway.

In Majorca, the Focus was fairly exotic. I think a Ferrari 355 convertible, a Porsche 996 and a Chrysler 300C Touring were the only unusual cars I saw otherwise.

I would mate, but there is the MOT to think of and more importantly the warranty:-< Never tought i would be so sorry to have a warranty.

Not even sure if i can get away with a sport cat to be honest and knowing my luck i will void the warranty and something will go wrong the day after!!
