Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

Picked up my Focus RS on friday night *happy*

Have to say its the most fun car i've ever owned to drive. Bit of a animal but all good fun.

But its also a very easy car to drive around town, plenty of torque plus it eats motorways no problems at all.

Pics will arrive when i get round to it!!!

Already have the mini and wanted something to just jump in and drive every day that was comfy. done the mini thing for driving to work every day and its not good!!

Unfortunately it looks like i'm going offshore China on wednesday *frown* so combe isnt looking promising.

Now the RS is one chav wagon I wouldn't mind driving. I did the drive-a-mini-to-work-everyday-and-watch-it-turn-to-crust thing but got sick of it and bought the Renaultsport Clio 182. Best thing I ever did! Pics please!

Seeing as you are off to China Iain it would be a shame for it to sit about while you are away, drop it off round my house and I will use it for you until you get back! *wink*

Really cool car Iain i've gone a funny shade of green, considered getting one recently but i do 25-30k miles a year so have gone down the oil burning route, just ordered an Audi A4 170 S-line, certainly not as quick or as fun as yours but will be ok for the miles i do.
