Talking of which, check out the MY09 RS in Ford Racing Blue...
How horny is that front end with that massive maw and those little vents below the headlights (a la an Integrale's). I love it! Also dig that little 'carbon' strip across the bonnet's leading edge... It's all in the details.
Really nice in that blue (like a Scoob's!)... but I'll have mine in white thanks!

), then I'd consider it..... Er, if I had the moolah, that is.It's supposed to be the 'hardcore' one right... so why is it not a lightened 'stripped out' (relatively speaking lol) version?!

It looks great, but I just dont see it as being as fun as my Impreza.
Yeah I agree, if it was meant to be a hardcore limited model, it should be more lightweight.
Im sure in a 6 months to a Years time, they will be trying to race us!

welcome to the area just down the road from dav
my mate has a tuned st with near 300bhp and it handles very well due to the tyres and diff is all i can put it down to as u can just pull it out off the corners

the front looks good, but the rear looks odd, unbalanced? perhaps a lip spoiler to compliment the diffuser as theres too much 'space' between the roof spoiler and the diffuser. I also had an ST trying it with my WRX (when it was standard) off a roundabout onto a dual carriageway and fairplay he kept right behind me until nearing 'foolish' speeds then i starting pulling a few car lengths, i eased up after proving the point, but he kept it going, drifted into the middle of the carriageway, showered me with road****, and kept it planted, could see him screaming off into the distance, must have been well into 3 figures. crazy b'stard.

.The only contemporary 'big' hot hatch that has, is the Megane R27 F1 Team IIRC (and maybe the regular Renaultsport 225, not sure)... which allegedly works brilliantly.

I've never heard Dav being described as "a village" ...
You have 97 RON at the Esso garage on London Rd (just in from the Landmark Hotel roundabout). 3 Shell stations in Northampton and one in Leamington (or is it two?), Tesco with 99 RON at Mere Way in NN and another in Banbury. The rest of us just have to get job lots of Octane Booster and make do.
As to the Focus; there will always be someone with more money to spend on his car than you so will always be faster. Chill and enjoy the burble.
