my bro thinks they not hold their value as the RS, but who knows.
ITS NOT GOING TO STOP ME.

let me know when youve seen it,mate.

I thought the same when my brother took me to look at the ST he has put his name on (Orange ST2) but im keeping the FRS.

Its very nice and tempting, but i need to hold myself back or i may regret my actions.

Wouldnt have any doubt if it was another RS but his car will truly turn heads.

Nice one D2EVS, went for a thrash in an ST2 yesterday, very impressed, much nicer to drive than the FRS IMHO, not nearly so much torque steer and the power seems much more linear, which is nice. Not all of us get those privilege tickets so it looks like I'm gonna have to sell the old 3 door RS Cos to fund it
Looking forward to having my Electric Orange beastie in the drive come the new year though!

I'm thinking around end of March start of April time, was thinking st2 however, having seen the discouts available on autoebid I reckon I'll be able to get myself an ST3, lovely! Also a better time to try and flog the 3 door, generally not a good time to try and sell over winter...
What about yourself Borgie, are you signed up?

Im wanting to get mine on the 1st March.
I thought i may as well wait a few weeks, for the sake of getting an 06 Plate.
The weather should start to get better then i suppose. Then hopefully sell my focus easier.
yes its ordered mate. Ordered a month ago, once id seen it in the flesh.
Yes its Orange ST2. Seems most Orange ones have been sold in Scotland.
So May be a rare colour in the midlands.

picked it yesterday from Burn's in Congleton, it's fantastic! pulls really well from low revs, turns in well even in the wet and sounds good too, the leather is really comfy aswell and the sound system good. i'm really chuffed with it, apat from the fact it's been back into the ealer for the airbag lights, a badly routed harness under the passenger seat wehn i tilted it got snagged and pulled connector, i'll be having words with recaro when i get back to work, the dealer was really good, i phoned up at 8:30 had the car there for 9:15 and driving back out again by 10! Ged the salesmans a top bloke, i highly recommend them!!!

Salesman can get you an ST1 for this price without speaking to his Sales Manager!
