I sold the Golf the other day peeps and picked up my new motor today a FW Focus Rs, which im very pleased with :driver: the drive is abit different from the Gti in many ways and the 5pot sound is addictive to say the least.

anyways guys i hope im still welcome as this is a great site and community, so i think ill hang around in the shadows now :signLOL:
-
Looks sweet as.. I hope you stick around buddy. :happy2:
-
It pains me every time i see one of these.... because i know its wrong.... but i love the look of them! :party: :party: :party:
-
There is a Lime Green one I pass most days in Bawtry..Not a fan but in White it looks the dogs.
-
Yeah agreed, the Green and orange just says tw*$ but they look great in white and go like stink! :driver:
-
cheers guys :happy2: i can see why people say the golf is a great all rounder though, the ride is quite abit stiffer than the golf and the recaro`s are abit of a pain to get in/out of but when the power comes on it feels savage :evilgrin:
-
You know how VAG have the inters..Whats Ford big meet?
-
Bluewater or whatever it is?
Fitp?
-
Oh right.. I,ve heard of that.. Is it Essex?
-
love these in white :happy2:
-
That looks stunning mate, looks good in white :happy2:
Oh right.. I,ve heard of that.. Is it Essex?
Nah thats Kent.. We have a lovely place called Lakeside :signLOL:
-
Looks nice Brett! :happy2:
-
There is a big RS day at Castle Combe like they have with VW and Audi.
-
TRAITOR! :fighting:
On a serious note, nice car :drool:
-
Nice mate. I passed one of these the other day. They look quite nice.
Having seen your pic though, I'm real tempted to paint the bonnet grilles black and stick an air scoop on! :grin:
-
looks great, my pal bought one recently, it eats tyres :laugh:
-

Ford RS Owner Club National Day, held in September. Have been to lots of these over the years.
Or
Fast Ford, but not to sure if it's held anymore, used to be a really big one for all the ford owners clubs. :happy2:
Oh and loving the new ride. Not sure when my five pot will arrive..... :wink:
-
I was dragged up around Fords in particular Escorts so i have a soft spot for them. I would have one on my drive anytime. :happy2: There were some fine examples at the ring this year. :driver:
Love them in white or green. :party:
-
Very Nice indeed. Great colour :happy2:
-
Very nice Brett hows it compare 2 the Gti and have u got a thing 4 white cars :signLOL:
-
I looked at a Blue FRS when selling the Rocco, also looked at a RS500 too. Test drove the Blue one, and loved it, then I had a look at the TT, and as they say the rest is history.
really nice cars, and going from a Roc R to the FRS test drive, it seemed so much more a drivers car, in the same way the R was better than my Golf Ed.
Enjoy it.
-
thanks for all your comments guys :happy2: and yeah i think i have got a thing for white cars :happy2:
and as for comparison (over the 2 days iv had it) it attracts a lot more attention, the power delivery is very savage when you hit 4k :evilgrin:, the noises are great- pops bangs and whistles, and the rides quite abit stiffer but im getting used to it.
Luckily its not my daily because of the stiff ride, 21 mpg and attention, but its so far so good im really liking it
-
Very nice :happy2: Hopefully might spot yours around ponte some time :)
-
Do you only strictly deal with white cars Brett? :grin:
Looks a meaty dish that, very smart :evilgrin:
Does it make the k03 GTI feel like a Korma hatch compared?
-
Whites the new Black :signLOL:
cheers Barrat and keep your eye out as the Golf didnt go too far :happy2:
And yeah pete i suppose you could, but dont get me wrong as the Gti is still a great car. The RS just feels more performance orientated ie in ride and power delivery, when it hits 4k its off like a stabbed rat :evilgrin: where as my k03 was very smooth
-
ford fair at santa pod is a great day out
-
Looks nice, get a res milltek on it and the open cone mountune airbox, will sound wild! my mates are all blue oval boys, ford fairs the biggest ford meet, at silverstone the first weekend in august, been the last 3 years just for the nights out!
-
Very nice, my friend has one, i know what you mean about the seats :signLOL:
-
thanks again guys, and i can only imagine what it`ll sound like with a milltek as it sounds good now. im still trying to find the best way in and out of the seats :jumpmove:
heres a few more pics for any of you thats interested, ill not bore you with many more pics........ honest :signLOL:

Certainly looks the dogs. This thread is nowhere near complete without a good quality video with great audio though :party:
I've not driven one tbh, but I can imagine it being more explosive and fiery, is that fair to say?
Last few pics look excellent though, it's a masculine car for sure :happy2:
-
Crackin. :happy2:

cheers mate :happy2: i had leather in the golf and was always paranoid about it getting scuffed so wasnt too bothered about the leather although they do look nice, and same with the satnav really i went for the lux1 because its got DAB and 6disc changer over the nav.
if you go for 1 make sure its got the USB/ BT for the ipod and phone connection :happy2:

any mods yet Brett????
