Just had an update on my dad Focus RS.
Not from the dealer who is a useless cnut, but from the man in charge of Vehicle Operations down in Speke.
Ford have lost my dads car!!! 
Its been in Dagenham since April 23rd, but now they can't locate it.
HOW CAN YOU LOSE A CAR? 
I'm beginning to wonder if some ford boss decided he wanted a car, but didn't want to wait, so he jumped the que and took my dads. What a joke!

I've been dealing with the dealer more then he has.
My dads a very busy guy and he doesn't get much of a chance to sort out personal things other than at the weekend.

if it where Vx or Fiat etc, then the motoring press would be "slamming" Ford for their service/dealers. But no the bumming continues.
So long as it has a blue oval it can do no wrong in their eyes.
Winds me up a treat, im bored stiff of reading about the RS

Ive been reading also that evo has done a top speed test as they do.............& the RS tops out some 15mph BEFORE the claimed 163mph.
As if if the inability to get orders out in time without losing the car isnt embarrassing enough for FORD!! 
At one time I liked the thought of owning one of these cars, now looking on im bloody glad I dont!

You baverian nazi 
Well look at it this way. You have a more powerfull car. A classy car. A car that is a sensible coupe when needed, yet a animal when given some!
The ford is a jumped up hatch back with spoilers and a turbo. Looks good, but im a young chap so im suppose to like this sort of thing 
Also you saved your self money
