New St
Went to drive the new st on the weekend and ended up buying a focus rs 
The new st is nice but the Rs looks the dog ball's and is a lot more of a drivers car.
Cheers,
Jim

Nice one mate, as cracking a car as the ST may be it's never going to be special like the RS. I'd say you've got a good investment (as far as car's go) there that will ALWAYS put a smile on your face, especially after you give it another 60-70BHP, which is easily done.

Good choice!
I believe you can get the ford motorsport manifold from Ellmer motorsport in Germany. They sell on Ebay sometimes. NathR will be able to tell you more.

Yes, Guido of Ellmer Motorsports is where I got mine from. He sometimes sell's them on ebay and there's a few threads on FFOC about them.
Me and Paul go to the Norfolk meets

still not bad to do 900 miles in less than two weeks.
so it will soon be at 13000 anyway.
But that is whats its there for to enjoy. So happy motoring.
My brother has the Focus RS and his is always in bed (garage)
he dont like putting the miles on.

It gets used everyday when my wife uses it to get to work and back, but if my van is available she will use that to go to work in. She does 40 miles a day so im trying to keep it below average miles for obvious reasons.
Saying that it makes me wonder why i bother as dealer offered me £600.00 more than a friends that did 10,000 miles more.
Mine is in mint condition for a car with 23,000 miles so surley the condition should mean more to a buyer than the mileage.
What do you think?
