The amount of jealousy in this thread is EPIC.

My last three cars were £25K, £51K and £46K. No way would i spend £30K on a focus. Nothing at all to do with jealousy.

This thread has gone mental - Personally I love the new Focus RS I think it looks awesome. My sisters boyfriend had the old Focus RS and he loved it until someone decided to blow it up on his drive (jealousy) so he went out and got a mitsubishi evo fq - I he said the Evo was mental fast and awesome but he has now sold it and said he would never have one again.

Personally I don't know cos I don't have the money to buy such cars although I have now had a Civic Type R (2002) for a few months and love it. Hot hatches are soooo much fun.

Also to those comparing RS's to Porsches etc... My boyfriend used to have a Series One RS - They are very rare now. I used to borrow it sometimes and I tell you what I used to get more looks in that thing than when I borrowed my dads Porsche seriously.

Audi S3 for me for 30k!! noway i would spend that on a ford focus, regardless of how much of a 'classic' it would be. Looks very chav, and far from a classy looking hot hatch

It was an Escort Series One RS Turbo a C reg one. It was my boyfriends pride and joy but when we bought a house he had to sell it as we had no garage. I didn't really know much about fast fords until he showed me the way haha. They are awesome though. He wants to buy a mk 2 Escort to do up when we move and get a house with a garage.

Your a prize idiot - why don't you just delete your subscription to this thread and not read it if it annoys you that much - life is too short to be winding yourself up so much.

I mentioned earlier on this thread that had the opportunity to drive a Mexico and then an RS 2000 - what I would call proper rally cars!! And younger people would call - old....... :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Mini's were really the best 'first' rally cross cars that I remember, the Fords seemed to come along a bit later.

Talking of Mini's - the Mini Works is pretty nice!
