Default Congleton - Fordsville!!

Went to mikeanics in congleton yesterday for a r/road setup and within 20 mins i saw
1x Escos (rally car)
1x RS1600i (Cherry red? with 8 spoke rs 200 alloys)
1x Focus RS
1X 3dr Cos (white D442 OBU? I think?)
1x MK2 RS2000 (Yellow)
1x Fiesta RS Turbo (Black)
1x Saff cos (Magenta)
1x MK5 RS2000 (White)

If you include my S1 then all you need is a mk1 RS escort and you have an RS Generation game!!

Biddulph is where Rally and Competition Spares is, (or is RACE the same thing?).

The biggest downside though was the traffic! Mike told me to take my rs for a spin to see how it felt and i never got above 20mph! Had a chance on the way home tho and it feels much better, smoother more progressive, well chuffed Nice one Mikeanics

I was in Congleton with a mate who was buying a Ford (a new one tho) and also saw a couple of RS-turbos, one with a girl driving. The guy in the Ford dealer actually commented on the number of RS's in the area and mentioned a local RS500.

Mikeanics is pretty cool,he doesn't like being bothered when he's mapping tho. Wont map MBE engine management anymore either, says it's too much of a ball ache.

Sorry I meant local to the Congleton dealer, I am aware of a few real and few fake local RS500's. In fact my GF even reported one to me she saw parked in Forsbrook, good lass. Anyway where's this young lady in one so I can propose to her?
