bit of a cheeky request this one but ill carry on anyway!

quite fancy a mk2 focus rs, but want to drive one to see how it compares to my sapphire cosworth and to see if i like it in general, i know the obvious reply is going to be go to ford and i have rang around the dealers but no one seems to have one in stock, the other thing i dont fancy is having the dealer ringing me up for weeks after trying to get me to buy one (have no intention of paying full price and buying from ford, plenty on piston heads for a lot less!), also dont want to waste a private sellers time by going and seeing one yet as it will take mea couple of months to put the money together, so my question is this, are there any owners around the west mids that would be willing to let me have a drive? im insured (trade policy) and will bring my driving licence, also happy to pay for your time

any takers?

Good luck, you need a trusting owner!

I've driven one and confirm that they are fucking great though

 

i know, thought it had got to be worth an ask at least though!

 

You dont ask you dont get.

Reasons why you wont get.

Not enough posts
Not been on here long enough
No one is likely to let it happen.

On the flip side, if someone was tempted you would need someone who knows you to vouch for you....

Best bet in my opinion is to go to a local RS meet and see if someone will take you out.

Thats how I got out in an original Focus RS and how the Focus RS owner got out in my old S2.

go to your local ford dealer. there`s a demo car here in sheffield i could get you a ride in as my mates the MD at ford.

 

I work at (new road ford) we take a £200 deposit first and the custmer has to provide inshorance on a temp cover to test drive an rs.

 

shings, not a bad idea that, been meaning to get along to a meet in the cossie anyway so maybe it will give me a kick up the arse to get involved!

rsmat - thanks for the offer, bit far to travel but will see how it goes

Rs turbo j - can well believe it, stops the timewasters - have been expecting half the dealers i have rang to tell me to bugger off as soon as i mention its an rs i want to drive!

 

if your sapp is standard then there is no comparison,as its a new car ,but thats if you like fr wheel drive,as the sierras do feel old when you drive a modern car,but thats what adds to the caractor
