hope u like the pics,i was rushing to get my video part of the new camera to work,sadly i couldnt in time but as the people in the car park across from were we were,there was the usual gathering of the UK mcdonalds car park meet group there,lol and a guy in a 1.3 nova attempted a burnout and funnily drove into the wall.ah well good shit happens to those who wait,and it happened to me 2nite,watching that was hilarious. :lol:

[TT]

Nice pics, the new camera is sure already proving it's money well spent :D

Nice car and nice pictures , btw you saxo has a gr8 colour , that is the Tangerine ?

[gis]

btw you saxo has a gr8 colour

:wink: thank you

[TT]

Does the Focus RS only come in that blue? Is there any other colour?


Nope, only that color for all of them :)

[gis]

as TT said,only that blue.IMO the RS wouldnt look as good in any other colour,in black it would look ok,but silver or red or white,it wouldnt look good

[Evo]

Very nice looking RS GIS. can't wait for the video. :mrgreen:

[No.1]

[gis]

[SPEEDKILLAR]

Nice pics, damn I want a digi cam NOW :( :( :(

[fedezyl]

hehe I saw the few pics I was missing mate, it looks awesome, so that's the car park where they do the ricer meetings, lol, anyways, can't wait to see the vid, and beg the guy to let you drive it, lol :D :D

[gis]

lol,the car park across the road is the one were they meet,i think jabba,jon_s,Dan and coombsie will know what sort of meet i mean when i saw the "mcdonalds meet" :wink:

[Tomerville]

That car is amazing! Too bad we [the USA] never got that. What is the handling like? I know there is seemingly infinite grip...

[TT]

I know there is seemingly infinite grip...


The main problem is the terrible and powerfull torque steer... all the reviews agree about the fact the RS is sure the hatch with the worst and stronger torque understeer... when the road is not perfect as a racing track it risks to be really to tricky to drive fast apparently...

[Jabba]

lol,the car park across the road is the one were they meet,i think jabba,jon_s,Dan and coombsie will know what sort of meet i mean when i saw the "mcdonalds meet" :wink:

Oh yeh we have a classic one...I might go undercover and grab some photos on a friday night...its simply hilarious...I have taken the Ferrari through the drive in a few times...their little faces..."priceless"

^^^ha ha u should do that jabba,ill try and go undercover aswell.there face was amazing when i parked up with the focus.i think i told u,b4 i started driving,must be a couple years ago now,i had just turned 16.i was goin to mcdonalds with my dad and they were all "attempting" burnouts in there nova's and crap and a guy in a 355 went on after he went through the drive through at mcd's and did a doughnut in the middle of them all then drove off.never seen that 355 again,lol

[Jabba]

Yeh I must say that saxo is looking very clean indeed.....it was well worth all your hard work gis cleaning it.

[jon_s]

Looking good, and there is no doubt about the type that turn up in McDonalds lol

I am sure I have told the story of the Nova that folded its wheels under the car by doing a handbrake turn, and mounting a kurb lol Ahhh, the fun you can have!

[gis]

LOL,please tell me u pointed and laughed jon?

thanks brembo for the comments on the pics and my car :D

jabba the car is not that clean at the moment,it was clean when i took the pics for my sig,but the car seems to have some dirt marks from the wheels goin across the side of the car.........dunno how that happened :roll: lol :P

[666fast]

Attempting a burnout and sideswiping a wall? :wink:
Cool pics, glad to hear you like your new camera. As I already told you, the RS is a cool car, shame they don't sell them here. :|

Can anyone explain why the intake pipe is rippled like that?

Attempting a burnout and sideswiping a wall? :wink:


lol,nah i aint that bad.but the burnout is sorta correct.sumtimes when pulling out of a corner i tend to pull out quicker than normal and in the wet it obviously spins more easily :lol:

Ah, the familiar boy racer maccy d's meets, man sum of the dickheads there really r dangerous. Last time i saw one, there was a group of skinheads in an old volvo estate (840 i think) and they were wheelspinning everywhere, so i followed them out, ready to dick on them on the run into town, and the fuckin idiot got it all crossed up on a big roundabout, and backed it into sum bushes!! LOL they narrowly missed being collected by an artic lorry!
Oh, and another time a twat in a 1.2 corsa was trying to catch me, i came off of a roundabout into a 30 limit going pretty quick, and thought this aint worth loosing my liscence over, so slowed to at least 40, next thing i see dick head in my mirrors flying round this roundabout, see's me braking, lifts off, gets all out of shape one way, winds on the lock, it snaps the other way, his hands are a flurry, and then he runs out of talent, spinning it in the road, next to a friggin petrol station! I laughed so hard i nearly stuffed it!
And then he tailgated me all the way through town!! Man there are sum dicks about!!

By the way, thats a damn nice RS GIS, I WANT ONE!!!!
to 666fast: thats the pipe between the chargecooler and the throttlebody, im guessing the pipe is rippled as it has the metal bands round it, so it holds the boost pressure and doesnt expand/split.
