Default RS newbie....finally saw the light!

Hi all, my name is Gertrud and I've just bought my first blue oval! Never really considered the Focus RS before as I've always been into ferraris. My last car, a silver 360 spyder had to go after a run-in with a couple of RSs near Redbridge.

I tried as hard as I could to stay ahead but the power of the mighty focus was just too much for me. I remember so clearly the tears rolling down my cheeks as I tried to push the accelerator through the floor to keep up with it and then as I pulled over he just sailed past me like some divine sperm-whale. I had to pull over to get a cuppa to calm my nerves soon after and that's when I decided that supercars were no longer for me.

I have had a little look around this site and thought I might invest in a fiesta as well (having a little spare cash after the ferrari was sold) I hear they are no slouches either 0-60 in 5.03 seconds? They also seem to be far superior to any M3 ever made, especially the rubbish E30 so any help and advise on buying one would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Gertrud Effinbolocks

Why all the crying, I thought you'd all be happy someone has finally woken up to the reality that in the search for speed I am finally King of the motorway racers. I have already booked my place in the Gumball Rally for next year....should turn a few heads
