Mate......run for the fooooking hills, don't look back just keep running

The boys will be along shortly (probably after 7:30 when there mums send them to bed) explaining you have just wasted all you hard earned on a sh1te car that jumps into the ditch when the rain starts

Good choice on colour.....I went for the ug , have to say its the first car I've owned for a year even though it's up for sale

And I was more been sarcastic buddy, can I ask though what did pull you to the RS? I'm guessing you had 20k to spend through cash/finance, but what made you go for the RS?

I've always liked fast fords, just the look of them I find something special. And they can be driven like a everyday car, my Subaru was full on which was great most of the time but the wife hated it. And I must admit get on a motorway and the noise was horrendous. Also the 2.5 engines blowing was a big put off.

Anyway if I'm racing I'm going from a rolling start 😉

+1.

I just can't get my head around spending £20,000 on a focus? I'm not even talking about Subaru's as another option. There are some serious cars available for that sort of price. Not knocking your choice mate, just intrigued!

In the words of tubbytommy.... why the **** did you waste £20k on a tacky chavtastic focus with bits of extra plastic stuck onto it?

Seriously though, why did you waste that money?

Focus RS's do look great, but I too have a problem with the money they still command. There is some super serious metal for that sort of money. M3's, e60 M5's, AMG's and plenty more besides.
