Default IM BACK!!!!!

Just bought a Focus RS after using dervs for a damn long while.
My last car was the Fast Ford featured escort D304 STU

Bought a FRS today and fook me what a difference to my old car. My old car was, if anyone remembers, was a 2.1ZVH, built by NMS Norris motorsport.

It made 267bhp on APT rollers.

We talked about water injection, a 3" bore exhaust straight through to gain more more power, and even NOS maybe. It was not meant to be

Big engine problems meant the engine had to be rebuilt, and the uprated clutch died once it seen the new engine figures.

The car was sold, broken in bits as no-one would buy it complete.

Car sold in bits, I made my money back, and went to the the Golf GT TDi, where I saw 74mpg as a max on a run, but always over 60+ mpg.. Great!!!

Now I have been promoted at work, and no travelling, I see little value in MPG, so wanted something a little more sportier. Ive bought a Focus RS.

Its only 285bhp at the moment but bloody hell does tech move fast, even in cars!!! It's really quick at the moment, and can't see the need for any more.

Anyway, enough of my life story, I still really missed the RS scene, the meets, the convoys.
