I know that the RB bit of RB5 stands for Richard Burns but whats the 5 stand for?

The reason i ask is that I was driving through cardiff on saturday night, pulled up at a set of traffic lights and i noticed this Focus next to me with three "older blokes" staring at my car. I looked again and realised they were attempting to ask me a question.

I put the window down, turned off the radio and said "Pardon, what was that?", they replied with "oh my god that is one sweet motor mate, what type is it?", i said "RB5". Then they asked what it stood for and i was like "uhhh, Richard Burns something, i think." i felt so stupid that i owned a car and didn't even know what the last bit of the model stood for. lol. So if anyone knows what the 5 stands for......!

Thx

P.s isn't it soooooo nice when that happens!! I felt the nuts driving home

 

Think his car was wearing the number 5 the season when SUK decided to do a ltd edition.

I thought it was the 5th time he had won the rally?

The trezo was the 3rd time.. etc..

Although I could be wrong...
