    and make you wish you had a Focus RS instead !!



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 Just a chunky knob, thats now been replaced by an RS knob innit.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

    also a very good example of how having a limited slip diff in a RWD car with a lot of power can screw you up bigtime ! Innit.

    Couldn’t switch that off there just had to keep looking to see what else was coming next.

    For me the Porchase GT3 RS’s sounded the best

    Lovely feeling getting pushed from the back in a RWD car when on track when you are all going the same way, track is consistent and you have a few laps under your belt.

    Not always as good on a roundabout that is tighter, with other cars and mates to impress, good business for crash repair centres though.

    I think most of us on here cut our teath on low powered (by today’s standard) cars such as capris, mantas, minis etc that you could generally “catch” if you were lucky or skilled.

    I guess a lot of drivers today do not realise how much e-intervention is involved, hence a mechanical lump of an LSD can easily bite and you tend to be going quicker.

    Next video please with the opening line “just watch this”



    May the Ford be with you

    But do you all remember what the 1 series did to Clarkson in a straight line on the run way just spat him off the road and he was a passenger, that was in the wet!

    Imagine that happening on a motorway with other cars around, carnage ensues massive mess lots of bits of car and dare I say it people, scary stuff if that can happen.
