Default Focus 'RS' eBay.. Why?

http://www.scoobynet.com/scoobynet-g...his-idiot.html

Why would you do that?

Not to mention, WTF is going on with the whole 'it's a focus RS but says ST' all about!

if you were going to 'ring' a stolen RS why would you ring it to a colour not available on the RS? be easier to steal and ring a white or blue one to avoid someone discovering it's had a colour change and investigating further.

I take it it's an St that's had all the focus Rs stuff bolted onto/into it? I expect a stolen Rs has given up everything for that. Be interesting to get the engine number off it to check

There's hundreds of rs replicas now that's exactly what it will be stolen rs bits. Either that or an rs with St ID. I'm not suggesting this car is robbed tho but I bet the majority of reps are made with stolen bits.

It's common to see a 1.6 cat d focus with full rs kit and interior, that would be a lot of money to spend on a 1.6 focus of bought parts genuinely.

This was on one of the Facebook rs pages the other day and some who knows the car said it WAS 558bhp but it now has a different engine fitted which is running around 360bhp

That's doubtful because the graph is faked, it's probably always been 360bhp

I think the chances of it actually being 558bhp are rather slim.

Alan contacted this guy and he said that he was going to remove the graph but what he's done instead is take another photo which hides the real date at the bottom

This guy is a scammer and he knows the graph is fake but yet he's still continuing to use it to advertise his cat C ST

I just had another read of the thread on scoobynet. Seems he's 'collecting all the messages' people are sending him and 'forwarding them to the police'

I'm currently sat here waiting for a knock at the door from the internet police!
