It might be a factor behind why his car was suddenly available much earlier than anticipated? it certainly suggests something is not right with the car!
The organic bacon is pretty special as well! There's loads of non-Goodwood-Estates catering wagons there these days...it has become quite a sizeable event each month.
My only hope is that on Sunday I get to see;
a) a Magnetic Focus RS
b) a Focus RS with standard wheels
or c) preferably both on...
Not today but a week ago I did this...Clio 172/182 brakes are pretty much the same so should be just as easy to do. Thinking back I never did mine in 125k miles on my 172 Cup and I really should have given the abuse it took!
They're not in a massively higher state of tune than a current Golf R/GTi Clubsport or Civic Type R - both give well over 300bhp from 2 litres versus the EcoBoost giving half that from 1 litre.
In fact the FPM375 Focus RS is fully warranted by Ford at an almost identical state of tune from a 2.3.
It was, not any more though.
I had a ride in a 125PS 1.0 EcoBoost recently that had the MR165 kit fitted to it.
F***ing hilarious little thing! Mad to think that it had the same (almost) power and a sh*tload more torque than my old 2.5 V6 Mondeo. From a 3 cylinder 1.0 litre. Madness.

Not for sale but I love my 128gb 6P. Coming from a Nexus 5 it's a wonderful thing. Nougat is great too! Battery has gained about half a day since the OS updated as well.
1989. Thick brick internal walls throughout, one mini box downstairs in the girl's playroom, one upstairs in our bedroom.
The WiFi survey showed all three boxes are equidistant from each other so the signal to and from all can go either way, direct or via the other box.

Nice! I was looking at these for such a long time...and it's still an itch I have to scratch...but kids and practicality won the day for me hence the RS on order.
Spotted another optional extra you have...coloured wheel centre caps!
Wallet?
I carry no wallet (despite owning 7 Aspinal ones!). If I know I'm going to spend I tend to just carry my debit card.
Phone in left. Keys in right.
I personally find it much easier mounting and changing wheels on my Fiesta with studs than I ever did on my Clios without.
Only once did I ever have a problem with wheel bolts coming undone on my 172 Cup (many many trackdays) and that was because I'd painted the wheels with a Halfords rattle...
If bought and stored I could see them retaining some of their value.
If bought and driven every day I could see them depreciating down to early £20k figures in 2 years. Who in their right mind would do that?
I find that particularly hard to stomach for what is in essence a £22k Clio with an end of line Megane engine shoehorned in and some deft Dremel work on the arches.
They'll sell them all in no time though...they're almost as good as Apple at marketing!
