Default Seen My first one on the road

in the words of Rolf Harris....

Have you guessed what it is yet


























Sorry for the poor picture quality, the weather wasn't the best and we were doing motorway speeds

Looked stunning on the road, I think Black wheels would finish it perfectly though

Seen my first couple! Both looked awesome, so aggressive! Sorry no pics.

They were both Green, one at Essex Ford next to Dunton waiting to be collected by it's new owner and the other on the A128 shortly afterwards (different plate, so not the same one ).

The more I see them and the more I read about them the more I like them!

Wouldn't fancy the Green though, probably White for me, although the Blue looks pretty good.

Priced one up ( for a laugh ) to see what the prices are, with the optional extras that I would want (DEATC Air con, auto headlights, auto wipers, auto-dim rear view mirror, rear parking sensors, tyre deflation detection system, ford key-free system and bluetooth hands free) it came to..................... £26695.00 OTR. Not quite as much as I expected actually , thought it would be nearer the £30k mark.

I like the level of standard features included as well: rear privacy glass, Xenon lights, front heated screen, 6 disc cd player with ipod connector, recaro seats.

I noticed they have kept the emissions down to K band as well so only £215 tax and not in the £405 bracket.

Hmmm........

A little comparison here between the Nissan GTR and the new Focus RS in "real world" conditions in Yorkshire.

Autocar Videos - Autocar.co.uk

Would love to have a go and give my own comparisons!
