Gutted to find I missed the recent Whitby run (although I would have had to come in the RS as I've no longer got my Subaru) Might toddle along to this, as I live right on the doorstep of the Buttertubs.

There a pic on Facebook today by RS Direct of a dark grey colour......looks fab to me. Has anyone else seen it, and is that the stealth grey option? Reminds me of the Focus St170 grey......? https://www.facebook.com/focusRSuk/photos/a.387151191311277.113223.166991939993871/1070684589624597/?type=1&theater I couldn't go white again, the blue would just remind me of the terrible mistake I made on that new Subaru Sti last year, black would be nice but hard to maintain where I live, so that grey would be the one for me I think......?

Has the 2015 Sti lost its Evo gurn yet?

All the reports say it will be AWD.......will it be better than the Golf R? It's gone CRAZY over on the FocusRSOC forum........although there is quite a lot of unease about the fact that this RS will be a global car made in massive numbers......does it devalue the brand? Anyway, here is the teaser vid just released. Please note...these are the development "mule" cars and won't look like the final car........we all hope! https://m.youtube.co...h?v=M-5HKThVcYw To be honest, I have owned a few AWD Subaru Sti's, as well as a few Focus mk2 RS's and it really wouldn't bother me if the new mk3 was still FWD. My current RS (which is my 4th AND 5th - long story) is 350 bhp and handles fantastically. Infact those who know me on here will know that I sold my RS last year for a brand new 2015 Subaru Sti, only to sell it after 6 months and get back to the RS. That's how highly I rate the Ford. My 2nd Focus RS mk2 was up around 375+ bhp and it was just as sublime.

And after saying this under two weeks ago you now want to sell it?

Jayjay - did you buy this Sti from a dealer near Essex? Your avatar photo looks like Perkins showroom? You may have bought my old car.........

Is that right? Well I've not experienced any problem with the RS. Subaru Sti in 6 months from new... 1. Leaking rear diff 2. Petrol cap that wouldn't open 3. Rear window that would drop half-way open on its own. Not good when leaving car in a public place. 4. Goddamn awful passenger door vibration that was looked at but couldn't be stopped. 5. The steering column rattling and banging when going round a corner with a rough road-surface. Then there was the crap stereo, the severe lack of grunt or performance, the waiting for dealer parts etc......

You don't realise that I traded an RS for the Sti.......and the Subaru just didn't top the Focus in any area. I must have been smoking something strong to think the new Sti could be better than a standard RS, let alone a mountuned Ford RS.....hence why 6 months later I got my old car back. Can't say more than that to sum up the Subaru.

Contact them before your 1st service as there is a known fix for this common problem. That way your dealer can order the parts ready for you when you go in, rather than you having to take your car back again. I just used to wedge a cardboard parking disc into the gap round then petrol filler cap, THEN pull the release lever. This will open the cap ok. Try it.

My OCD is getting the better of me. Campaign only 4% complete, but already have purchased all available maps, and busy totally clearing the 1st area of all masks, chests, wheels etc......lol.

Be quick guys - ends tonight! Sign into Xbox live and you can buy the delux version of Titanfall (all the DLC maps etc) for £10! Bargain!

Finally got round to giving Farcry a blast today. Just for an hour or so. Felt just like Farcry 3 so that's good.

Managed to bag me a Far Cry 4 for my xbox one off eBay. Brand new £37.59. Bargain! Hurry up mr postman.

Gambit - I got insured on my 2015 for £220 fully comp protected! That was with 9 years ncb.It cost me over £100 to swap back into my RS! Message to the op.....you don't HAVE to renew the tracker after the year is up. It's up to you. When I got insured for £220 I never even mentioned I had a tracker.

The Sun gave Farcry 4 only 3 out of 5 today. The Mirror gave it 4 out of 5. Doesn't really effect my thinking though - i'm defo going to get it asap to play on my few weeks annual leave over xmas.
