Hi all,

My name is Dan.

At the minute I'm working as a lorry driver, no rest for me in these crazy times! My insta is @rs05war give me a follow! Cars mean everything to me and I'm never happier than when I'm driving, no matter what it is!

What got me into cars? That's easy, it was my dad! he was a full on petrol head through and through. He was injured in the RAF but that never stopped him and he always had interesting cars like a fully built Alfa 156 and even a 350bhp Volvo V40 estate. 

My journey started when he helped me find a 2005 MK6 Fiesta ST and my love of fast Fords was born. This was the last thing he was able to help me with before he passed away and it's a car I will never sell - even if it is a permanent project! Everything I've done since has I guess been done to make him proud.

My current car is a 2018 Focus RS Edition with a few erm subtle modifications! It may not be the most powerful car in the world running around 380bjp but it makes me smile like nothing else! The full spec is

• Mountune FPM375 map;
• Mountune induction kit;
• Mountune pcv plate;
• Mountune roll restrictor;
• Mountune power take off unit;
• Mountune big boost pipe;
• Mountune hard pipe;
• Mountune dipstick;
• Mountune oil cap;
• Mountune V2 air filter;
• Mountune recirculation valve;
• CEUK door sills;
• CEUK footwell lights;
• Royals steering wheel;
• Steeda clutch assist spring;
• Ford performance carbon gear knob;
• Pro alloy intercooler;
• Scorpion non res non valved exhaust;

• Paintmodz washer jets;
• Kill all wipers delete;
• Spinal studios dials;
• Forge braided brake lines;
• Hub V.5 alloys;

I've been lucky with the car in that I've a number of great people who helped me get it to where it is:

When I bought the car it was a completely standard RS edition and to be honest even before I collected it I had started to purchase modifications. I always had a vision in my head and my cars even going back to the Fiesta have had something that makes them stand out. With the RS my intention was to make the engine bay something that made everybody smile and so after a series of chats with Sean we decided on a full sonic theme and the detail he has added is amazing and it always makes people smile.

After the engine bay was done I decided that as great as the stock wheels looked they didn't quite suit the aggressive nature of the RS and so with Sean's help again a set was sourced and he spent the next few weeks painting and dipping them and the outcome to me is immense.

The car still isn't done, I don't think they ever are! Next up for me will be a multi port meth kit followed by a new map, probably MSD

I'm part of a few groups the main one being the mk3stowners uk group (found them when I had my Focus ST) it's genuinely one of the most inclusive clubs around and the support and knowledge is incredible. We do quite a few shows and with previous cars I have always placed well. Unfortunately with COVID-19, I have not yet had a chance to show the RS but, I have planned to do the NC500 in her next year.

For me the RS was always a dream car, my dad instilled a love of fast fords this is as good as it gets right now but in the future I would love to move on to a 5.0 mustang just don't fancy the fuel economy!

Thank you to everyone who has read my story! Please don't forget to give me a follow on insta!

Thanks

Dan
