Spotted the new Focus RS for the first time today! Found it parked next to my mk1 RS in the car park! Guy was just getting out, had a good chat with him. Apparantly the turbo boost is reduced for 1st and 2nd gears to reduce torque steer...very interesting!haha

I took some pics for you all to enjoy!

Green is far to look at me !! It looks like its had a halfords kit put on it it does not have that factory look the white and blue have ! Anyone heard of mpg return for them yet, the company st is due to be handed back and I fancy one of these for the next company car ?

I saw a white one on the M25 on Friday evening. I had a very good view of the front of it in my mirror, as the driver deemed 3 inches to be a safe gap in the outside lane of a motorway at 0.85 leptons. Nice car, crap driver.
