Default Back in an RS

So 12 years after owning my last RS I'm back in a MK 2 focus. Most of the last years have been spent in an Impreza , which to be fair treated me well and never let me down. I bought the Focus off Ram on here. Front wheel drives taking a little getting used to!!!
Since the day I picked it up it hadn't stopped raining. At last on Friday the sun came out, so a quick wash, grabbed the camera and set off to take some pics, only to find the battery had died in the camera. So had to use my phone






Some of the old whip in the same locations


Can't imagine getting the Focus up here in the snow

That looks clean, what is the traction like in the wet? I had a tuned ST for a short while and loved it but absolutely hated it in the wet (didn't have an lsd) and wondered if the RS was significantly better or still a bit annoying?

Nice scenery and great to see a MK2 being used as it was intended.

I too came from a Scooby before getting the MK3.
