Check the potholes out in that carpark the Clios parked in!

Where the RS6 is parked looks suspect. I wouldn't be comfortable leaving any car there let a alone a RS6.

That car park hasn't been resurfaced or maintained at all since the college was closed and moved about 5 years ago. It's in rediculously bad shape.

And the RS6 is fine there, in the car park it leads from I regularly see 2 997 911s, an NSX and a v8 R8

The matt black looks incredible, like it's carved out of slate or something.

That picture taken in Manchester, just off King St?

Fiesta with RS body kit? Um...

Janesy B · 17 Jul 2010 at 15:52

Think it's a bit more than that going by the wide track!

Love the old school Escort Janesy :cool:

Wtf happened to the little Fiesta ST tho - wide arch kit looks ridiculous imo

Its the JWRC kit...Junior WRC. Theres been a few cars made with the kit, with various engine conversions from supercharged 2.0 Duratecs, the Mk1 Focus RS 'Duratec ST' lump (actually closer to the Zetec engine family but I digress...), and even 4wd versions with Cosworth YB power!

Always thought they looked kind of cool myself, a bit like the Clio V6, but the arch gaps look a bit wrong (on the rally car they're needed to provide enough suspension travel for rougher stages).

1964 Ferrari , not sure on model,going into the drive through

^That man has taste, hope he got the gravy.

^^ Test drove one of those a few weeks ago. Power delivery was excellent and a very noisey turbo!

Hawk Tuah · 17 Jul 2010 at 20:58

The outside was gorgeous. The dash was a bit gash though.

I sat in a RCZ at the show too. Now that had a lovely dash. Subtle, carbon dials, and stitched leather dash and door trims. Very nice. Not much head room though.

Mr^B · 17 Jul 2010 at 21:03

I have one of those arriving next Saturday (hopefully).

Maccy · 17 Jul 2010 at 21:06

I thought it looked great, but as you said the interior was a bit disappointing. I found it very dark inside and couldn't see much out of the rear window either!

Mr^B · 17 Jul 2010 at 21:11

A fixed sunroof helps with the darkness inside (esp. the back seats). Not much to be done about the rear visibility, sadly - however ironically it's better than the rear visibility in my Picasso which consists mainly of my kids' heads.

No pictures but I saw a Red Rolls Royce Phantom rolling down Oxford Street this afternoon - nothing too special for London other than it had THE ultimate number plate '1'.

The plate's from Oman apparently.
