    I have sold the RS. Needed to downgrade to something cheaper without finance to help fund a house so went to the Vauxhall dark side and bought a 6ltr monaro VXR. It also ticks the v8 box as I have never had one.

    Thanks to all on the forum and goodbye….. for now!

    It’s a Holden essentially and it’s cool.

    nice, borrowed one for a weekend and got 12 mpg taking it pretty sensibly !!



    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 Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.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?

    Lol I was expecting abuse. To be fair, it’s a good fun car. You can take off in second spinning. Torque is unreal. Gearbox is a bit stiff after getting out of RS but once you get used to it it’s grand.
    Haven’t  found fuel consumption as bad as I expected yet but I havnt been pushing that hard. Obviously it’s worse than focus but that’s to be expected

    I think you made a fun choice of cheaper replacement.

    Had one myself a couple of years ago (a Pontiac GTO 6.0 left hand drive version) loved it and had a lot of second taughts when I sold it, one of few cars that I still miss today.
