Hi all,

Just joined the site today so thought i'd post a few pics of my car(s).

This is my pride & joy, a 2004 Ford Focus RS.
















Had it just over a year now, always wanted one since they were new, but had to wait until trivial things like marriage, children & mortgages had all settled down into a normal routine before i could buy one!

Running a few mods at the minute, hybrid turbo, uprated intercooler, K&N Gen 2, Mongoose exhaust, DPC map, 6 pot brakes and a smattering of carbon bits.

Don't use it as much as a should, but with life generally being one big blur at the minute free time to enjoy it is limited to say the least.

Won't bore you with many pics/details of my daily, but if you see a black mk4 golf tdi around the Widnes/Runcorn area feel free to give us a wave



Cheers,

John.

This looks an awful lot like the car a friend of mine in Luton used to own-the Mk1 RS still looks fantastic biggrin so much better than the later models.

Did he happen to sell it to anybody from up north, as i bought it from a dealer near Oldham?

No idea-if I remember I'll ask him. It's certainly got the similar mods his had and the car looks in wonderful condition-he really doted on it. 18 year old me (at the time) lusted after that FRS!

Bloody lovely! The U.S. Rears really set it off a treat. All that needs now is a smooth rear wiper.

You mean to remove the wiper?? No it really doesn't need that. Lovely car as it is.
