For the last 8 years my daily has been two different Audi A4's (a Saloon and an Avant) on the company car scheme and while they are decent enough cars, they are utterly boring to drive. So I decided I needed something a bit more exciting for the daily driver, as life is too short. Picked this up last week. Very very pleased with it. It took 10 months to arrive from ordering, which was a long time to wait but, well worth the wait. :grinning:
It was dropped down to PMG straight from the dealer for the new car prep and full Gtechniq Black treatment. Awesome job by @big_pete.

Lovely! That's a great company car!

I used to work for a surveying company, and one of the Senior Surveyors back in the day got a Mk1 RS as his company car!

I've had **** luck with mine but apart from that there's near 2k on it and I love it. Drives well and I love the noise. Have you any plans for it?

Saw this on delivery day and it was stinking. Saw it again when I was picking mine up from PMG and my word the colour is incredible. Lovely lovely stuff. Never saw @Mark King Focus in the flesh so never appreciated the colour :grinning: class mate. HTD!!

They seem to be coming a bit quicker now. Its long enough to wait but will be worth it when it arrives.

Saw it at PMG last week, I hadn't realized there was so much metallic in the paintwork, it's incredible!
Health to drive (y)

I've the 380 conversion on mine and it's made a good difference. It was a day old and an old boy reversed into it,then a month or two ago I hit a badger in it ffs.
Opps that's not great luck . The 380 would be good, but I like that the MP375 is fully covered by the Ford Warranty so might do that bit first anyway.

I love these. I just don't think it would be practical as a daily for me doing 12-15k per year.

Enjoy!
