Ford's monster comes to SA!

Good news!

And no, James May, this has nothing to do with Dacia.

It's a little green monster with a huge ego and a Swedish heart! Lethal combination, I'd say...

I'm talking, of course, about the Ford Focus RS! Now what Ford did here, is they've created their own Frankenstein.

They started of with the Ford Focus, which became a rally star overnight, then a new model came out, which was faster. Then 3 years later, a newer model came out, which was faster again. Then they decided,"Hey, people want to shave 5 minutes off their record drive-to-work time, so let's make it faster!". Along came the Focus ST, not in blue or red or black, but "electric orange"!

Then the new model appeared in 2009, which was faster than the old one. And then they decided to put a 300hp Volvo engine in it, and called it the RS. Now, taking everything into consideration, this thing must go like stink when you drive to work in the mornings!

So, pretty soon, when you request a car, you can have the Ford Frankenstein which WILL make you think about how you want to go out in life;)
