I had the urge to sell mine the other week, for a nice Beemer, but changed my mind!
What did you get for it if you dont mind? Pm me if you want.

As for Focus RS, nice looking car but if it was a toss up between that or Escort Cosworth I think it'd be a decent powered well fettled cossie.

Tough choice on the next car Kev, Focus RS's proper good, but will drop in value when the ST/new RS comes out, which is something I dont think the Escort Cosworth will do! If you have a mint low mileage Imperial Blue Lux on a big turbo you can practically name your price!

The new Focus ST is faster round the Nurburgring than the Focus RS was though! It may not look as fancy or have the Brombos/Oz wheels/Quaife diff etc, but it is a faster car none the less, therefore I think it will affect Focus prices
P.S. I'd still have the Focus RS over the new ST though

Ten Pounds says thats hype
and another 10 pounds says it doesnt beat the FRS round the all important Top Gear test track The FRS is like the Series 1 ERST and the ST will be its fluffy easy to drive brother the S2

by the way kev the car looks awsome mate, i wouldent mind one , but the torque figure is shocking as all the power is made at the top of the range on type r,s.. and as every one nows torque is made at the bottom thats why diesels pull like a train, but fully load a type r or go up a big hill and your in trouble
