Saw the pictures of the new RS cold testing in Norway in the motoring press. Went to dealer to discuss imminent arrival of ST (2,3dr,black/blk-red,btphone)asked if i could put down deposit for RS supposed del autumn 08 told flat no its not been made and we will not take deposits! bit rude I thought.

Met fellow ST owner couple of days later told me wife works for Ford and has placed order on their internal system for RS with del date of Nov 08, but they have told dealers that they cannot place orders??

Bugger the search goes on for someone that will take a dep. or a job within Ford!

I'm not too sure of the processes but I'd take that with an extremely large pinch of salt. I don't think that the internal MRC scheme can physically take "orders" on cars that haven't been built. It's difficult enough for many managers to plac an order for an exisiting ST, far less a supposed RS!

Nice sounding spec for the ST btw. Obviously I get to see loads down here and really like the black, Black/red combination. Watch out for stonechips now!

Thats crap. On MRC you cant make 'orders' on cars let alone ones that arent even released yet. It works by you being able to choose from a list of cars that you are intitled to have depending on your title. Like if you are high up you can have a Jag etc. But with regards to the RS its rubbish only 30 people a month on MRC are allowed to have an ST as their car due to it being so sort after.Plus you wont be able to get it on MRC as you could never get the old one on it.
