   Thanks a lot for the interesting post guys, been following your blog for the past several months while trying to lose weight for my wedding on the Cambridge diet and it’s going really great. I’m down about 20 pounds in the past few months and this website has really inspired me to keep going. Fantastic job.

     What are you on about?!

     All i have been saying is. why spend £30,000 on a car when you can do pretty much the same thing yourself, brand new i might add, for over £10,000 less? And at what point did i say that it was better than all cars faster than it? My point is that the RS is priced far too highly for what it is, its too slow for £30,000 and frankly its not classy enough for £30,000 either.

     And yes, they should have made it 4 wheel drive and given it a good 50 bhp more, But as we all know ford are half way down the swanny so they cant do that. But if enough people go and spend £30.000 (thats with no extras btw) on a front wheel drive hatch back that has too much power but a diff that hones it all in so you can only access about 250 bhp of the 300 its meant to have then who knows, they might do a Focus RS, 4 wheel drive monster with the new shape thats coming out. I really hope they do, its about time they went back to their roots.

     As for me, ive now got an Audi S4 V8 tuned to 380 BHP, so no, i cant afford a Focus RS, i spent my money on something much better.
     Don’t comment if you don’t have some idea of what you’re talking about before you start, you don’t know me so don’t tell me what i can and cant afford.

     Oh, and PS, i can safely assure you that the ST mountune did sound a bit like a V8 seeing as i now have one to compare notes.

   Things like this are incredibly disturbing to me and should be to everyone.
