Currently the answer to that is no. That is going to be tough to resist! Standard it only pops and bangs in 'sport' mode. With FPM375 people report cars doing it in 'normal' mode as well plus a load more snorting and hissing from beneath the bonnet...none of that appeals.

Especially one that's one owner, full Ford history, and completely as it left the factory standard. That's what I'm hoping for at least. We'll see in time.

I forgot to add the crowd on the roundabout with cameras was comical.

Nice. We definitely have to, ahem, drive spiritedly. M*****f*****.

At 1030 I had to drive past Goodwood and the car parks were rammed when I went by. I drove from Petersfield back past it agin at 1230 and it was just a constant stream of supercars coming past me.

THE worst. There are engines coking to death on their coolant being replaced by Ford. First sign is coolant loss. That develops into a misfire. Regular checks will catch it early. Doubtful it'll happen on mine though...most seem to be very early builds. It's epic. You're wrong. Apart from it...

As with my Fiesta I intend to film, datalog, chart, and just generally drive the sh*t out of this. 5 more sleeps to go!

Oh my.

Yep. If it ever gets here that is.

Ooooooh, you got the wrong colour seats! Other than that, good choice! I'm slightly riled that yours has slipped through this smoothly and mine, two months after it was built, is still nowhere tyo be seen. Grr. Enjoy the drive when you get out in it.

Nice...

Nice. Needs a clean though, filthy. :D

There's something about yellow with black wheels...it's just right. :up:

If you weren't so far away and my Focus' arrival wasn't imminent I'd have this and sack the i10 off. Based on the delays I've had so far I'll probably regret not making the trip!

I was just going to ask that...what does this owe you @Daniel?

It was only when editing the footage that I paid any attention to the sidewall markings...65 profiles! I remember when growing up that 60s were considered low profile...and my RS will come with 35s LOL

Yup. Found a proper enthusiast who appreciated the care I'd taken of it and the full history it came with. I got £8,400 in the end...which makes me wince a little...but seeing as his was the ONLY call I took on it in three weeks I think I did quite well.

Despite the law being that hire cars should be relentlessly abused I haven't...it's kind of pointless...it has no front end, acres of soft sidewalls, and so much body roll...door handles and mirrors could touch down easily! taking it for what it is though and it's a very fine thing.

Similar plate...was it from Enterprise perchance?

This is true...it is a bit more bearable knowing it's short lived.

With my Fiesta ST gone, my Focus RS currently somewhere unkown en route to my dealer, and with nothing but a hire car to entertain I took a critical look at Hyundai's shoebox. Oddly I'm quite enjoying it!

There's a slide at 7:48 which shows everything in far too much detail and it's far too boring for me to post here!

I know! It's flown by. I struggled to come up with the negatives...for me it's a hard car to fault in any way. He commented "Nice car!" when I walked back to it so we got chatting, mostly about his patrol car though.

Two weeks in an i10 has made me get all sentimental so I made this...

That's more than you'll do before you get bored/fed up with it and sell up! Each mile you do though should be pretty special.

That's horrendous.

This is so true. My phone can split screen multi task, I tried it once and yes it works, but since then I have used it precisely no times at all.

"Have you had any accidents, claims, or convictions?" "Yes" Answer "No" to that and your insurance isn't valid and you're driving illegally. Probably.

You're the first person I've come across that also likes a longer throttle. Just about every RS owner says they like the sharper response of 'Sport'...but I prefer having the longer throttle you get in 'Normal'. Makes it easier to modulate.
