Had my first shot of a Focus ST yesterday, 08 plate with Bluefin and few other small mods, driver told me it was putting out 310bhp @ the wheels.

Best I was hoping for was to be the passenger, but he let me take it out on my own with his cousin (female) as the passenger.

I was like a kid at Xmas to say the least! I was meant to just be driving home from her house (1 mile) but as soon as i got behind the wheel, I had other ideas!

Never really had a go of a big powered car really, been in Cossie's and Scooby's as the passenger before, but always wanted a go myself. My dad's got a BMW 323, which is probably the fastest car I've driven until yesterday.

Only having driven lesser powered RST's before, I was quite surprised by the lack of how much you could feel the tubo kicking in, it all just felt so gradual, but fuck me it could shift!!

Also quite surprised how easy it was to cope with as well, I expected the front wheels to be spinning everywhere!

I used up 9 miles of petrol in the space of about 2 or 3 miles max. The lass in the passenger seat was shitting herself, lol.

Was great fun! Loved it, but still think I'd prefer a Sapph Cossie!!

Also, caught a glimpse of my first Focus RS. Passed it outside my work, was a green one. What a stunning car it is in the flesh!
