    actually – i am wrong – this Bridge to Gantry (BTG) seems to be a recognised lap

    Focus RS in on Wiki at 8m6s – more or less the same time (different days, conditions, etc)

    Coast.

    I’m really tempted myself – its just it will need to be my daily and with 2 strapping teenage sons it will be a struggle from a practicality point of view.

    It was going to be a used M140i but should I get the Yaris??.

    There’s just me and the missis, so rear seats not really required. So long as I can get a couple of holdalls in or a suitcase that’s all we required, Was thinking of buying in addition to both our other cars and then probably selling the Cooper S when the balloon payment was due.

    I’ve bought me number plate already !  GR21FOR   roll on next March (unless I change my mind!)



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 Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.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

    Do you know, there’s absolutely very little to dislike about the Yaris, me thinks Ford have missed a trick with the Fiesta ST. The Yaris is so much better, although it is more expensive.

    @gm If Ford did a Fiesta RS 4wd they can take my deposit now. Missing a trick I reckon.

    Why have they not colour matched the interior or that civic? Red seats, belts and wheel??

    Sorry to say but the back of the Yaris is not very pleasing on the eye. It’s quick though.

    I wonder if it has veering steering on bumpy roads when overtaking hard?? I see its suspension is already rusty just like the Focus’s !!
