Being easily distracted by the interweb today...

Saw my first Focus RS today driving towards Horsham on the A281. Looked pretty mean in green. Me like.

I don't like them or pretty much anything about them.

Thought James's VXR looked better (along with most other hot hatches), would rather drive the Megane thingy and I expect the Leon R thingy will be quicker when it comes out.

John - I'm sure they're brilliant, I just don't want one, at all.

Nick, you'd be better off getting something not overly powerful and RWD in my opinion...

There was a white Focus RS in the Ford dealer in Redhill 2 weeks ago

IMO it looks much better in white smile

I did say they are brilliant to drive; but there isn't one ordered or on the drive which kind of says a lot really... smile

I reckon an elise or similar going from S3 to Atom would be ditch worthy.....

" people agreeing with Ben, Ben 9is that you or Avril........

Saw one in blue at Le Man one night. Thought it looked the nuts, but I was a bit pished drunk Cool car, I like them.

There are so many other cars I'd prefer though, mostly as they are A)not a hot-hatch, B)not FWD, C)cheaper so better VFM.

Ive only seen a white one in Gatwick last week and I liked it. Still not sure I could spend that much money on a Ford, all be it a very good one.
