RS Test drive
 

going away with work on friday for a track day to test out the new FS Focus which should
be fun

do ya mean the RS??

Would be nice to hear from non Ford aficionados just how a front wheel drive car handles that much power. Plenty of the Ford boys seem to think it can handle it but so many people have been saying it should be 4WD or RWD.

yea RS one of these

From what I've seen of it it looks like a classic in the making. Especially with the limited amount being built

If it was 4wd i think it would have been a runaway success, and really desirable to the rally fans but alas no. Supposed to be very good though. I read the Autocar long term test, and their one has done a set of front tyres in three thousand miles !

The front tyres on this one didn't even last that long.....

....mind you, nor did the back ones!

Did you notice if those pallets were directional ? I know they are readily available overnight but i would have thought it would make the steering and brakes a bit wooden...
