Guys,

Saw my first Focus RS in Sainsbury's today........
anyone else seen any in Aberdeenshire ?

It looked and sounded fairly cheeky

Cheers

Ive seen 3 in the past 2 weeks in Edinburgh area. Never seen one before.
I guess they only just started delivering them in Scotland now?

I think they look smart as too. Pity they dont drive it (according to evo)

Uh-huh...Spotted one driving down the Esplanade on Saturday afternoon...1st I've seen in the UK...(Spotted one in Geneva last month whilst over at the motorshow...)

Was in my S2 smartie, top down with noisy exhaust, so don't think he liked me upstaging him!

I think Darren Mackie got rid of his, something about couldn't handle it or something

I have also seen one out at cults and the Westhill/Elrick one everyday on the way to work.

They look nice, not sure about the interior though think I'll stick with the STi8

I saw one on Gt Western Rd at the weekend. Looked quite a bit different from the usual Focuses (or should that be Foci ?).

Haven't seen one close up yet, but I'm hoping there will be a couple at the RS Owners event at the Old Mill Inn

John

wooosh

I've seen three in Aberdeen . I also saw one in the Pittodrie carpark yesterday which was probably Darren Mackies

Jools

Darren Mackie got his Focus bum whipped on the A96 to Inverurie, by a blue Sti 7 I know, not once but twice!...and it was not me

Saw one in Inverurie Tesco a few weeks ago; thought it looked real good with the big wheels and big brakes. Very deep and wide look to the front as well. Liked the look of the seats with the big print too.

Looked like a car well worthy of the famous RS badge, that's for sure. 9/10 for me.

Was behind one in Inverness more than a month ago, driven by a woman with kids on board going into retail park,

there has been one in dundee for 2 months,seen it twice once in my consultant's golf tdi -she refused to give chase and 2 weeks on kinsway quite nippy but particularly pulled away at higher speeds

I was in T&C last night and saw the same P1 that's been in their for ages (X** RJS I think). Anyway, it looked exceptionally dirty since i last saw it in there and wondered if someone had been having a "jolly" in it -probably not but I thought the owner might like to know. If' it's yours and you left it in that state then shame on you for not washing / neglecting it !!! It was MANCY and the alloys were in some state

peaking of Foci (cheers John), I was 'round at teknopetes at the weekend and had a shuftie through his Fast Car mag.
The yellow Focus featured in it was luurvely, anyone seen it?

Must've cost in excess of £30K right enough

Paul

BTW Don't think much of the RS Focus, i've seen the one Martin mentioned about Dundee a couple of times. It's a burdo that drives it i think

fatlarry

I know two RS Focus owners,Darren Mackie and Doug Dawson

there are another three in Aberdeen but I dont know who owns them

Was on my way to Tesco for a bit of late night shopping last night when out of nowhere, there's a car up my bumper (foggies on).
I assumed i had picked up one of the Nova brigade when i passed through the city centre....happens a lot.
So i get down onto Riverside and, taking the bait, 'make progress'
Was losing the car round circles but he wasn't going away on the straights.
I pull into the Tesco carpark and the sport follows me in.
Unusual for a Nova, I thought

He pulls up beside me and its an older geezer in his RS Focus.
Bit of a chat then i'm off for my smoothies and strawberries.

Turns out he's about to sell it as they're going for £4K over list

I saw my first FRS yesterday just after five as i was heading into Inverurie - prolly the same one you saw Jools? It was coming the opposite direction and was being drivn by a young fella with a beanie hat + shades. What a waste.... far too nice weather for a hat yesterday.

Car looked great, just a shame it was Imperial (?) Blue. I'm guessing they're all that colour?

I neglected to ask Darrens ex girlfriend about his Focus RS when i saw her last night. Poor lass was a touch stressed and i didn't want to get thumped.

The one round Dundee/Perth/Blair might by my one There are two around the Dundee area, one is a 52 plate and mine is an 03.

Absolutely love it to bits. Just finished running mine in. It is not quite as quick as my Tek 3'd MY00 but handling is way better. IMHO Clarkson was talking sh!te (other than when he said it corners like it is in a cartoon). Torquesteer is near non-existant and the agressive movement of the steering wheel when going over cats eyes etc just does not happen anywhere near the extent he mentioned.

Again in my opinion, they look a lot better than previous Scoobies and build quality is better than the Jap stuff.

If anyone wants a demo let me know!
