Who said anything about upgrading/downgrading. Not that it's anyone else's business but I had to sell the eddy to help fund my business, so the ST will do me just nicely until such a time as I can afford a decent MK5 .:R

Oh and Ben  :booty:  :laugh:

If it was the heart she'd still be tucked away in the bat cave!  :sad1:

Doh! Now I just feel bad :(

Mate has an ST at work and must admit it does sound good. Almost as good as the VR but not quite  :wink:

Bought myself a spanking new ultimate Green Focus RS :drool:
i pick it up a week today :party:

Yours looks really nice, i read a review of the st with the montune uprade (i think) and it was faster than the RS everwhere so once your done with the engine mods you should be good power wise !
Hows the brakes on the ST just out of intrest?
