Best of luck with the new car. Post some pics's up and give us yourreview on it out of interest. The RS is a head turner alright.

I've had fords in the past (never had any probs) but haven't owned a ford now for proabably about 15 years (god that makes me feel old).

I was looking at an RS in the showroom when they first came out. I liked it a lot, but couldn't help thinking that at 40, I was 10 years too old for it.
Red Mk6 gone replaced with a white Mk7 which has gone too. Green Mk2 here to stay.

Any less that 30 years old, and you'd look like a spoilt kid with a car daddy had bought.

Im not a spoiled kid though, iv worked for everything i have and im proud of that fact.

Review:

Stunning car, every extra available on it aswell including the leather and only 17,000 miles.

Very firm ride though, probably wasnt helped by the fact that the tyres are pumped up so much that they're bone hard, getting them set properly later.

Absolutley love the car and not to mention all the admiring glanses!

Well happy!

Il get some pics up later  :wink:
