Black looks amazing. Definitely the best colour on the facelift. 

 

Que?

Went for a blast down the A686 between Penrith and Hexham with a friend. His Focus RS is nice but the VRS more than held its own on the Twisties and the deficit between our cars felt less than the 130ps figures suggest.

 

It's a ford say no more lol 

More noise than anything else 

Test drove one before I got my vrs , don't rate them , Honda was far better , but wife would knock chunks out of it , also I like to be discreet..... the vrs ticks all the boxes 

Focus RS is amazing to drive. One of the best hot hatches. 

Agreed, didn't drive it but went for a spin as a passenger and it was quick. Sounds awesome too, plenty of pops and bangs from the exhaust. The grip was also very good with the 4wd system. A great all round hot hatch, but in a league above the VRS.

Interesting feedback.  Thanks!

This sadly reminds me that I soon have to do the same... BTW, roads and views on your country are out of this world.

Got plans but they've gone out the window for a while while I recover from forking out for a boiler replacement..... However Reiger Rear Defuser on the way don't tell the wife! 

 

Stage 1 Shark Performance, HR Spacers

 

Made the most of the weather today and did a full winter prep detail. Snow foam, Wash, de-tar, clay, polish, DA on specific scratches, wax, wheel seal and glass polish. Shame it went dark quickly though and ran out of time for applying tyre dressing and polishing the exhaust trims.

Damn you ninja'd me. Edited the post as I knew someone would mention that! It went dark just as I'd finished sealing the alloys and polishing the glass. Ran out of time for tyre dressing. Will do that tomorrow 

Making the most of the winter pack this morning. Heated windscreen and seats were a lovely luxury for an early start!
