Evo have both a Focus RS and a Focus ST Mountune as test cars. And they reckon the ST Mountune is faster than the RS, although the RS is much better around corners.

And in English?? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

All that went straight over my pretty head ..

Mountune are part of Rousch who are a tuning company equivalent of Cosworth, AMG etc, they do a conversion on the ST.

That Focus RS has an almost identical reg number to my car

P.S I would have the VXR. Its RWD, big V8 would suit my driving better as it can be lazier!

In English, my dear Jeannie, that means that you can have all of the performance of a RS in the ST Mountune, with 5 door practicality, less in yer face looks, in essence a stealth car (especially with TDCi badges on the rear). Why o why did I now buy a Mazda 5?

I hope you are avoiding the dealerships for the servicing! Mazda's seem to be having the highest prices, from what I have heard! Quoting around £300 for a first service.. :eek:

I like being your 'dear Jeannie'.... :smileyhea:lovethoug

if you can run it then it has to be the VXR
even if the rear lights are too small IMHO

And I am 'this side of Dagenham' as you so eloquently put it - but have seen only one in our lovely county in the past three months...

It would seem that the 'chav's' haven't saved up enough yet to be able to afford one........ benefits just aren't what they used to be .. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
