Default How rare are RS's. . .

Travelled down from Cumbria to Warrington to see my lasses sister and kids. Took my 10 year old and we had a game of spot the RS. Thought it would stop him driving me fookin crazy with the" are we there yet" question every 2 minutes. Anyhoo. If i spotted one i would point it out and vice versa. Any RS at all, FRST, ERST, 2k's, Cossies anything. We travelled through Cumbria, Lancashire and into Cheshire and we spotted a grand total of. . . 1 ! A RS Focus in Warrington. A busy bank holiday monday and 1 RS in a 160 mile round trip. Saw shit loads of Scooby Clitoris's. I call them that cos every c**nts got one !

in yarmouth last night, we had the only cossie...

there were 11 scoobs, 6 evo's, 3 gt4's! i'd say they're pretty rare around here there were a couple of rst's tho, and one rs2k.

guess what comes always comes in last.

Went into the Scrutineering for the Local rally up here (Granite City Rally) on Fri night and took the Escort.

If i got a pound for everyone that walked round it and had a look i could have paid for my new Turbo.

Was actually really surprised it was still there when i went to leave after the amount of attention it got

At one point as we were heading to the rally HQ some battered old Mitsubushi stopped in front of me blocking the road and the next thing 3 camera phones poped out the drivers window

Funny thing was, this was parked in front of me and they never even looked at it wrong badge but how often do you see one of these






Still nice to see that the RS's get plenty of attention though

I rarely see RS's at all, however today was an exception...

Waiting at the bottom of my road, a magenta Saff went past. Following it down the road and onto the main road, get to the cross roads and there was a white 2wd directly opposite. Both drivers acknowledged each other. Got onto the dual carriegway and lost the Magenta one (it was QUICK )
On the road into Mbro, we passed a Focus RS parked up, then in the car park in Mbro, I noticed a Mercury gray S2 on EsCos rims must have all been out in force today
