certainly is true!!! You would not believe how many takes that took, we had scripts of our spec and had to stick to them word for word and i just couldnt remember the order they wanted it in!!!!!
shes been 2 different colours, had different kits on and i spent shed loads on the 1.6 before deciding to put the turdbo in.
Hands off my rs lol

There was one for sale in the Guildford dealer from my work.
Theyve gone up because everyones realised the ST isnt an RS!!! I tell you what, ive had scoobys S3's and all sorts of cars but the rs is the best non modded car ive ever had. You get in it, it starts, it goes, you can drive it normally or like a loon. Plus people look at it, but not little chavs they dont bat an eye lid.

If you had bought one in the last 6 months you could of picked one up for around the 10-11k mark now its hard to find a decent one for less than 15

You have to drive one, drive it and you will fall in love with it. The torque steer and the handling round, round abouts it incredible.

well you see i can send the model up to you, the mileage to scotland might mean i need a new set of tyres! oh yeah tyres that is one thing, you will probably need a new front set every year coz of the diff!!!

naa its all part of the fun. Depends what you like in a car. I love the fact you boot it and the car pulls you everywhere, and when you go round a corner you just feel it. Its just amazing, not to mention when you get it lifting off and your sideways coming out of the round about. Thing is you can drive it like that when its dry and no ones about, then the next day your pootling to work and your driving it like a normal car. The day i was driving it back from the garage i let my friend drive it, he nearly ploughed it into a round about. But being front wheel drive you just pull off the throttle and it snaps back. Oh not to mention the shift light too and push button start - how cool on a standard car!

I been a passenger in one and when you hit potholes you can feel it pulling the car, quite like the feeling of big alloys on a road where lorrys cause ruts

Sparco rear seats too. The focus got 220 on the rollers and shes standard apart from the dump valve so i was pleased as punch! Especially since I expected her to loose power with the dump valve.
