Wow...you are a very lucky man

 

so your the winner of this ebay auction, looks good. how much work you gotta do to drive it here legally?

 

when do you get to take that 1st drive?

 

I work and travel a lot in Mexico and have a Mexican visa, so it is going to get Mexican tags. I'll pick it up the next time I head down there, probably the first week of April. Seems like a long wait right now!

 

Are you going to ship it back or drive it back? If you drive it, the route from Monterrey, MX to Chicago could take you up I-44 and through Tulsa....where I live.
:evilgrin:

 

I am calling bluff till we see diffrent pics

 

From the Jalopnik article, the buyer lives in the Chicago area. Last night when this thread was started, the first thing I did was check the location of his IP address.

Yup......Chicago area. This is him guys!

Oh, and welcome to [FJ] pkrehbiel, glad to have you as a member! :thumbup:

 

wow that awesome!!!!!! congrats on getting this!!! so you're bringing it to the states then with the mexican tags?

 

You lucky SOB, I envy you

 

i'm going to withhold my congrats until we see his personal pictures and not the ones from the Ebay auction.

if you did get it then awesome man, enjoy the hell out of that thing!

 

First Europeans , now mexicans. Man I want one!

 

Wow you guys are a skeptical crowd! Who would lie about it and to what end? Anyway hopefully this helps convince the skeptics I actually bought it

 

Wow you guys are a skeptical crowd! Who would lie about it and to what end?

Good question. However, there WAS a dude on FF some months back claiming to have bought a blue one (with pics to "prove" it) who turned out to be a fraud...

 

Molex Incorporated?
lisle illinois?

just wondeirng cause i know you are from illinois and just did a quick google search.

 

and is it me for MK1 RS> MK2 RS (aesthetically)

or maybe im bias haha

 

nah you're just jealous like everyone else here (including me) since us americans didn't get anything MK2. :lol:

 

wow im very jealous if you ever register in the us let us know what you had to do ?

 

When you bring it here to "visit" let us know...we all want a ride...be sure to supply plenty of kleenex.

 

Ah, you're the dude I read about on Jalopnik? Very cool if you have the means to get that thing registered and enjoy it.

 

subscribing... this should be an interesting thread to follow. Great car btw.

 

Any plans to modify it?

 

:lol::lol::lol::lol:


o jeez...

 

No doubt, I am looking at a Chip Doctor Stage II power upgrade, KW coil-overs, AP big brakes, and some Pumaspeed bits. I can't leave well enough alone.

 

avoid PUMAGREED.
many other places out thhere that have the same parts for cheaper.
do a decat, kw v3, ap breaks and tune.

 

Many thanks!

 

Since i'm closer to the car, can i have the first drive? haha. j/k. congrats on the purchase man!

 

All negativity and skepticism will be mostly in part to jealousy, FYI. That would be a great car to have in the states thats for sure.

 

I read all about your vehicular collection on Jalopnik, I'd love to see some pictures of the rides...

Cheers on getting the holy grail of Ford hot hatches!

 

From Jalopnik:

He seemed incredibly excited and helpful on the phone and we laughed that it would be easier and cheaper to buy a Ford GT than to import this RS, but that the RS was far more exclusive and exciting than the GT.

REALLY!?!?

 

Hey man we were just joking around

 

hey im the guy that talked to you after the auction ended on ebay under jpadilla200, did you ever talk to focus sport? and welcome to the best focus forum around. :thumbup:
