bungy 2 Posted August 9, 2010 Report Share Posted August 9, 2010 Fair enough mate not tempted by an rs nowThey don't offer any forces discount on the RS for some reason. Still think about getting an Escos from time to time but that would have to live under a cover in the garage and come out on special occassions. Link to post Share on other sites

The Monk 50 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Best car I've owned has to be the 205.Bought running MI16 with R1 carb TB's.Was a beast. At the time I had no problem sticking to Mr Subaru's backside and kicking a lot of others......owned it for 4 months riiiiiight up until,I encountered a police car, on a set of blind S bends, on my side of the road as I rounded a left hander at 60. I was just pootling and not thrashing.Cop car had no blues on clearly going too fast just infront of a 40 tonne lorry coming my way too, didn't attempt in the 2 seconds or so to get into his lane. I decided leaving the road was the safest option......just forgot there was a 3 foot deep ditch after the kurb. O/S wheels clipped kurb and I went rolling with fred durst 3 times before the cars bum used a tree to stop.I'll dig the photos out of the loft at some point. Lorry pulled over and cop car didn't. That car was soooo thrashable and drivable. Lovely car. Link to post Share on other sites
Lukey. 381 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Fair enough mate not tempted by an rs nowIf i was in the same position I was 2 years ago (money to burn only myself to worry about) Id buy an RS in a heartbeat, it would be what my ST was but with warranty, i also like the rear much better on the RS Link to post Share on other sites
spadam 7 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 Yea love the look of an rs but would like them to come down in a price a little first. maybe in a few years then Link to post Share on other sites

Theres loads of white and blue round here but only seen one ultimate green, brave choice that.If we leave it a few years we'll be in a better position to see how the government plans to financially arse rape anyone that doesnt own an aygo too Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyb 2 Posted August 10, 2010 Report Share Posted August 10, 2010 went to ford fair the weekend and to be honest new focus rs/st`s dont do bugger all for me to refined and the noise they make is good for 5 seconds then it becomes annoying imo,cosworth`s still rule:P apart from that gt40,lol Link to post Share on other sites
