    Dear Focus enthusiasts

    It was in April this year when I brought my Focus ST SW to my Ford dealer to mount the summer wheels. While sipping my coffee and reading the newspaper I noticed a car key dangling in front of my face with the comment: “Wanna take a ride?” Minutes later I was driving the Mk3 Focus RS in glorious Nitrous Blue over the Jura mountains around Basel. This half hour got me hooked…

    Three weeks later in May my dealer traded my ST and I got the RS fully equipped right out of the shop. From then on I  drove 22,222 kilometers through the Alps, to the Amalfi coast and every day to work. I haven’t regretted a single minute and enjoy the little beast every day.

    There are of course a couple of stories to recount. Stay tuned.

    Best regards,

    Frenk

    Hi bobcat

    Thanks for the welcome. Well, here is a picture on of my RS in the underground car park. The Nitrous Blue is somewhat obscured to enhance its ferocity 😉

    Cheers,

    Frenk

    FRENK !!! where are you ??



    No nothing.

    No Mods. No rockers. Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.

    No tackiness.

    Std as Ford intended, but with a space saver wheel and jack and nuts and wheel brace. oh.. and flaps, a man has got to have flaps.

    Innit?
