At the end of the day, the R26R is a quick car, but is shit as a 'car'. Out of the 250 allocated to the UK there are still 85 unsold and they've been here over 12 months
How many Focus are unsold?

your wrong again, 230 were meant to make there way over to the U.K but only 159 were sold, they were built to order so none came over non sold unless the car was built and then the order was cancelled
also yes most of the reviews have had the option tyre but i didn't say they didn't so that point was pretty pointless
and yes not focuses are unsold but i suspect the focus has a much bigger market than the .R and it is a bl00dy good car, although to commen for my liking

EDIT: to put the ringtime to bed, the focus was tested by a german magazine round the ring and the best they could do was a 8:26 they then tested it with R888's and the best they could do was 8:25, the 888's dont make much difference because the focus is to full of lard so the tyres were shot pretty quick as well
