This is where all the old coverpages come to retire - we thought it would be nice to keep them all

Merry Christmas from all at rs ford. Take it easy over the holidays and we will have loads of new content for you in the new year. If you have sent in your car pics in we will be going through them over the next few days so you may see your car here very soon. To all the people who have purchased our artwork ... thanks it all helps cover our costs ... bandwidth etc. and we hope you like em.

This is the time where we can change up the format a little so if you would like to see any particular features ( a forum,games, more screensavers or wallpapers etc ) let us know.

2003 is here and rs-ford is one year old, we have loads planned for 2003 so stay updated!
Thanks to everyone who has purchased artwork it helps cover our massive bandwidth costs. We have added the original brochure for the escort rs turbo series 2. The quality is amazing, you may ask why we add brochures ... its to let all the owners who never saw the original marketing material get access to it. The Project is coming along very well and we plan to have a rolling shell very soon.

Whats new, we have added a bunch of new cars to the readers cars section, also we have updated the project series one area (which has been taking up all of our time!!). We have updated our email script and will be mailing out every couple of weeks a list of updates. We are also looking for you talented designers and writers to help with stories etc. if you are interested drop us an email and your story or artwork could be helping rs ford grow.

What do you do, if you want even more from your focus rs? ... take a look at this baby, the visual impact of the focus rs is spot on that Mach 5 bonnet looks amazing along with those 19 inch OZ Superleggera Wheels. It looks like it could have rolled off the production line like that. The mods dont look out of place at all, we always thought the bonned should have beed vented. It's not all looks though, you can through a series of sensible mods push the power output to 285 bhp. The mods include exhaust, air filter, ported head and break upgrades. They have further developments planned for the car which should see it beyond 300 bhp!!!

Interested ... thought you would, well click here to drop them an email for more information
or to visit their website click here ... don't forget to tell them who sent you!!

Here it is, at last a sporty version of the ka, looking good too. With a 1.6 engine under the bonnet, sports suspension, alloys, flared wheel arches and a rear spoiler the ka is looking decidedly mean. The marketing of this car is superb and ford have even given the ka it's own mini site which is well worth a look if just for the funny downloadable movie clips. http://www.the-eviltwin.co.uk/
Yes I know the performance isn't breathtaking but it's more in the true spiritual successor to the mini cooper than the new one is. And who knows it this sells well, with prices under £10,000 it's gonna, it may tempt ford to go one step further and give us a rs version ... who knows.

The racing puma, limited to 500 production models and a reputation as one of the best handling fwd cars of all time, this car is a legend within the rs community. Originally was supposed to be branded as one of the first new breed rs cars if fords development team had got their way (with a little intervention from tickford) but as the rs badge was "on hold" ended up being called in development the st160 then went on to be the racing puma.

With it's flared arches and massive 17" Speedline Alloys and impressive discs on all four corners it looked every bit the racing car, and with only 500 ever made this is a very very rare car - which is going to draw attention where ever you go.

I only wish they had badged it right as it is in every detail an rs, even uses the same colour as the car deemed to continue the rs name the focus rs.

We like the racing puma so much it's on our shortlist for the next car in the collection.
