Those who know me well, know how much this car means to me and what it represents. So its a very reluctant sale, but bigger and better things are on the cards and I need to fund a new project.

46k on the clock, no rebuilds, maintained regardless of cost and time; I believe the exact words by Neil @ FF on feature day was "you've managed to polish out the orange peel" Full feature in FastFord May 2009 and FastFord Thrash feature June 2009 (car is on the free poster too) if you want further details.

Refurbed rear brakes, took appart, repainted etc. Waxoyl'd on vital sections under the arches etc. Also had both quarters painted the day before Central Day, mainly down to my OCD....world's smallest stone chips, but I knew they were there. Then fitted new extended armourfend to the rear wings.









My custom intercooler, results are similar to popular air2air choices despite running with a smaller intercooler. Did not test the ACT's on a long stretch (forgot when at Brunters ).

 

wow cant belive ur selling it mate.good luck with the sale
gorgeous rs.

 

Appreciate it, but my arm's being twisted towards another toy. Might actually keep it too if all goes to plan!

 

i want!

Im looking for an RS Focus but cant afford to go to 13k

wanted this when i first saw it!

Good luck pal!

 

Make best offer via PM

 

done dude, insulting but its all i can afford

 

Appreciate your honesty fella, but gotta decline that offer

 

no probs dude best of luck anyways.

 

Car is on the FastFord stand at Ford Fair if anyone wants a gander

 

Il give you 12k for that Green Fiesta parked next to yours


Good luck with the sale mate

 

Nah mate, nobody wants that now, its painted in random two tone gay ass colours xxx

Cheers fella

 

stunnin

 

Tis a REALLY lovely car!

Good luck with the sale honey!

 

luv this car..good luck with the sale

 

its a very nice focus it was in the same month as my 3 doorhad a read you have spent a fair bit on itgood luck with the sale b tbh it will sell no probsi take it you have found an escos then?

 

Prime example of an FRS, probably the best i've seen. There's so many neat little touches everywhere and you can tell from the condition of it that the car's never wanted for anything.

The fact that a hell of a lot of the work has been done by yourself (I/C, air duct etc.) must make it all the more heartbreaking to part with.

Good luck with the sale man, i know if i had £13k I'd be round yours now virtually ripping your arm for this!

 

Appreciate the comments and support guys, which makes it worse to part with. But the car i got lined up is something i wanted for a long time, but need to raise the funds quickly to put my own spin on things on the engine bay. Only reason i'm selling the RS....nothing else would make me do it otherwise!

 

where did you get the poster

 

Free poster with fast ford june 2009 issue, centrefold baby

 

I want big time

 

pmsl at the tags sheep shagger i was with andrew the other night when he sent you that number mate any joy? good luck with the sale btw

 

Hell yeah matey, a lot of luck! Just need to shift the rs to get it and spend some big bucks on it. Come on people, prime example here with a good reputation!

 

Nice mate its a very very good base to start with that car im sure you could have it aweseome

 

Without a doubt, by the sound of it there's nowt much left to do except tarting it up a bit all round. Happy enough to do that, its a right investment...despite the fact I'd never get rid of it!

Come on people, someone must be after a decent example

 

I am

 

Then find the extra "few" quid then fella, told ya, sell your sister!
