Default Focus RS Factory

Don't know if you guys have seen this already, mods please delete if it's a repost.

Short video of the Focus Factory in Saarlouis, Germany ... shows an RS being put together on the assembly line ... short but interesting vid I thought.

Thanks for posting this up for our enjoyment Rob. There's another vid in the site where a lady is appraising the RS especially the Recaro's BUT she's not sitting in them properly! Aaargh!

While you're there, you might as well get a lap of the Nürburgring, in the BMW ring-taxi, driven by Sabine Schmitz!

Check out the video HERE, she's a freak of a driver and it would be an experience you'd never forget (check out from 0:54 onwards!)
