N/S/F wheel was shattered at the bottom. Brakes looked fine though

Mainly because they don't know how to drive.

falling in the wrong hands now prices are falling

yappstar

I have to disagree, they're not exactly pocket money yet.

Plus does that mean everyone who has crashed a car is "the wrong hands"?

Not having a pop cos I know what you mean, but I dont agree, there could be another back story to this crash.

could be an easy reshell for someone. Would have to do most the work yourself to make it viable.

quick ish car and no doubt the owners of them like to drive them in a spirited fashion, and we all know things can go wrong from time to time.

I bet often these are weekend cars so owners may be less familiar with the cars than they think with not using it ever day,

I don't think he woke up and went "Ooooh I know , I'm going to crash my 10k FRS for fun!"

Shit happens.

LOL exactly what i was thinking...dont look heavily damaged and as long as no one was hurt...who cares its a FRS

Coldo

Nasty. Do you know who's it was? Cant say i recognise the reg.

I bet Fulton will be in about that like a tramp in a fish supper too!? He'll be robbing anything decent off it for his

Will do that sig for you just now Paul.

p.cressie

Shame. One of the rare blue ones aswell!

but they have fallen into a better price range for the younger generation! they are much more affordable than when they were over Ł10k i payed 5k for a mk5 fiesta zetec-s! if the rs was 3k more then i would of went for that for the money whats in it and the extra for the moeny! hope ya see what i mean!

i wasnt basing it on everyone! just a likely option to what happened! i had my focus rs at 19 and am now 22 so ive been in that boat and it is something else when you are of that age

that one looks like a bargain if it's just panelwork that needs doing

Reckon he crashed it because his rear camber was a bit out!

Zetecfiesta

nasty!!

Hmmm bonnet looks ok. I need one. If you know where it goes let me know please.

Owning one i can see why people crash them! A heavy foot and the wrong conditions can see you rugging the steering wheel to keep it straight! The diff is fantastic and does its job very well but wee bit of damp/wheelspin in a corner and before you know it you could have hit a wall etc.

Usually (but not always of course) a case of ambition exceeding talent. Irritates me, if you can't drive a quick car, don't buy one.

Exactly what I was thinking

AndyRST

And how are you supposed to get used to "quick" cars if you dont buy one . The guy might have just been unlucky, there could have been something spilt on the road that could catch anyone out ........ even a driving god like yourself

Sorry to see another FRS gone tho

It's Czech Mate

Anyone knows if this is advertised yet could be a good cheap buy.

I don't really agree with this statement, anybody who has passed their driving test knows how to drive, come to think about there's a hell of a lot of people who aint passed their test and know how to drive

I was self taught at driving and was doing so aged 13 had a couple of little taps, posts and things but when I reached the legal age and passed my test I wrote 3 cars off,

To be a "good" driver you need experience, the more you do something the better you get at it, the problem is people buy these cars often with little experience and drive em like they are doing the lemans 24hr and end up wrapping them round things,

so to sum up its not about knowing how to drive but a lack of experience,

just my two pence worth for today
