Well following on from the opinions on the RS Focus thread and my mulling over the possibility of buying one, I have just placed my order.
I've gone for the White with the Luxury Pack, costs a scarey amount of money for a Ford but I just took a liking to it so thought what the f...k i'll do it. I look at people who live there life full of regrets and say they wish they did it different, well I've decided lifes for enjoying and moneys just paper so im gonna toss some away :grin:
To be honest what its costing isnt all that far off from what I could have spent on mods when you get round to lsd's, brakes, suspension, intercoolers and fuel pumps etc.
I know its not everyones cup of tea but I think it sounds good and seems to be getting very positive feed back.
Have a sound clip on me......... :laugh:
Greeners:
Go for it fella, Im in full agreement with your philosophy :happy2:
If not your choice in car :signLOL: Only kidding :wink:

I reckon youll love it, and besides itll be relatively rare :happy2:
Remember and bring it to the pod :evilgrin:

good decision mate i think it looks the business :happy2:
300 bhp and 440nm straight out the box with lsd, big brakes and what looks like a top notch suspension set up for 25k
i would never have bought an ST but this looks like in another league, if only VW had done all these differences when releasing the ED30 over the normal GTi, they couldnt even be arsed to improve the brakes :fighting:
would easily cost £8-£10k to get the ed30 close to this bad boy
as for the badge snobs out there when this comes wizzing past you on the roads I think it will make you think twice
when is the expected pick up date?

The first allocation are sold, so the way it works is you fill in a notice of intent to buy and pay a deposit, its sent to Ford and they give you a build date, theres no demos coming to the dealer I'm buying from and they are the largest Ford dealer in my locality, looks like it could be a long wait as the first production run was delayed by a few months. I'm gonna shift the ED30 soonish to avoid further depreciation and use the wifes Bluemotion Golf :sad:
