Top Gear latched onto this now? Have they nothing better to do.
What about all the other cars that crash there on a daily basis, I've seen more Porsches and BMW's on the back of lorries than VXR's
What a load of bollocks.

Why haven't Top Gear reported on the idiot that took his brand new Focus RS over there and crashed?
OH SHIT THAT MUST ME THE FOCUS IS COMPLETELY SHIT?
Top Gear is fucking bollocks, they have an agenda and it fucking stinks. I'm going to firebomb the studios.

There isn't, I really don't get it. I hate to bring it up but Gavin could have been famous had someone filmed it, that would mean the CTR must be a load of shit as well 
What a nothing story.

What? The thread title seems to suggest a VXR fail? I suggest it's driver fail.
I'm pointing out it has nothing to do with the car like TopGear & Pistonheads seems to be saying.

You can see he is going in way too fast...
I never heard about a new Focus RS crashing, now that's one I would like to see!

my point is everytime someone mentions that perhaps the VXR isnt the best car, you seem to have a mental breakdown!
I agree with your comment about top gear on the VXR, incredibly unfair test i thought, but then any mug that buys a car because jeremy clarkson, who cannot drive to save his life, their opinions on cars do not count.

Dale who works at RSR (who you will see over the weekend Graham) (Steve fancies him) mentioned that someone literally got a Focus RS and turned up a few days after it was delivered only to smash it up.
I don't see any mention of that on Pistonheads or Top Gear and heres me thinking the RS is the only car in the world that matters at the moment.

Whos having a breakdown, I want to get my point across quickly and efficently. Do you want a kiss or something? Is that your problem?

I will have a nosey around RSR I think see what you get for your money on hiring cars. The R26-R takes my fancy.
I noticed somebody took snaps of the RS500 1/500 there but I find it hard to believe they would use number 1 like that on track.
