The Ford Focus RS MK3 is my ultimate dream car. If anyone from Ford SA is reading this, please don't stop bringing in the ST and RS brands. There are more people like me that aspire to own one in the future.
I'm a die-hard Audi fan, it would feel really sad to hear news that the product would be discontinued. To the Ford ST and RS guys out there, take good care of your vehicles and enjoy it guys
Wish I could drive my Focus to CPT just for this meet! Haha! Thanks for pulling off this awesome get together and the passion and loyalty these owners displayed goes beyond Ford's excuses.
I'm a "die hard" Ford fan and have been driving Ford's since my first car and it really makes me sad to know that Ford is slowly fading away in the sport hatch segment in South Africa. We used to also have a ST crew in Port Elizabeth, but over time slowly started to fade away and it was honestly one of the best times of my life. My first car purchase was a mint 2002 Fiesta 1.6 RSi which was where my love for Ford started. The car has been resold to a close friend of mine and is now owned by my nephew who bought it over from my friend and she is still going strong. I've also owned a 2007 Fiesta ST150 which was my dream car at the time and drove her for just over 10 years before sadly selling her to another friend. I see both these cars on a regular basis and they are still in excellent shape and have been looked after by their owners. I'm now driving a 2018 Fiesta 1.0 Titanium (could'nt find a decent 2nd hand ST during the covid time) which I also love, but it's still not an ST and sometimes I really regret selling mine. I would've definitely consider buying a brand new ST if Ford could've still sold them in South Africa as I'm now in a better financial position to do so and it's such shame that it won't happen now. Shout out to all the CPT guys and cars.co.za for making this meetup and video possible!!!🍻 COME ON FORD, WE NEED YOU TO CONTINUE THIS LEGACY OF OURS!!!🙏🙏🙏
And not one person from Ford South Africa to comment? Neale Hill needs to go. The brand is losing market share and the best he can do is hide behind Ranger and Everest.
Beats me why Ford SA did not bring the new Focus and FoST to SA. Its a shame as the market for these cars in SA exists. Instead, Ford SA is handing its market share to its close competitors on a silver platter.
We did the Ford ST meetup a few years ago and had over 400 vehicles turn up. Awesome to see Patrick on the channel 👏 I still miss my supercharged st150 pocket rocket 🚀
@@Memes_maker-m2j yup used the Jamsport UK C38 rotrex kit made 240kw on wheels on low boost pulley. Was fun. I also previously ran ITBS on my older setup
@@Brajosh_ I can guarantee you that I don't have my facts mixed up. You are more than welcome to do your own research concerning the second generation Ford Focus performance models.
I honestly don't know why Ford South Africa is disappointing such a huge fan base, as a Ford Fiesta owner myself I know how great the brand is , and wish they would atleast consider bringing in the new Ford Fiesta Range , or a limited number of ST models just to see the interest and response from buyers

I’m definitely joining that crew even though I’m from Botswana 🇧🇼
Lucky and privelagde to those currently owning Focus ST and Fiesta ST they will always remain Classics in the near future as Ford will not be bringing them in South Africa. But your Jacket Ciro put a final nail in this awesome video, it looks awesome
Even the Kuga has been dropped in SA. I have a 2019 Kuga ST Line. The petrol version and I really enjoy it. Sadly will have to look at another brand come time to renew my vehicle.
As Toyota was bringing in the fun models (i.e. the Supra, GR Yaris, etc.), Ford was busy killing off all their fun models and only focused on the Ranger.
Well done to the organizers. A very nice event indeed. With the strict EU regulations and the future of boring EVs coming, it makes one appreciate that we can still enjoy cars with internal combustion engines for a while like this. I see problems for all great cars in the future. The awesome V8 C63 has been axed. I see the future of Audi RS models going the same route too and it is so sad.
Well said...EV is here and we see manufactures axing and downgrading the oil burners, so sad but I will applaud Bmw they do utmost best to please both worlds and they still do developments and new tech to the internal combustion, the amazing AWD m3/4, supercar killer M5CS while Merc a joykiller as said C63 now a 4pot, Audi with disappointing RS Performance versions ...Thumps up to Bmw they not disappointing
@@nhlanhlamagagula7467 as much as I want to believe you, bru... Even BMW are doing this. The current generation of ICE engines is the last of their kind too. The B58. The S58. This will be the last as well. BMW are currently focusing development on their i series which is full electric. By 2035 all cars sold in the EU must be fully electric. Porsche might be the only one that escapes this as they have started development on their own fossil/biofuels. Porsche intend to save the ICE engine and even save the manual gearbox.
@@tonygarces1862 So tru..most of these are driven by climate regulations...but other manufacturers have already jump the boat and just offering tamed models while Bmw is satisfying both worlds for that it's big thumps up and have been voted the Best manufacture by Uk auto, they have won many hearts with their current offerings as you mentioned the B58 engine it's a masterpiece, rumour has it that the next M5 will be hybrid at least..
Fuel quality Not good enough for the New St/Rs ? What about all the other brands that manage to bring in thier new performance models ? Audi, Vw, BMW......etc
Ford making the biggest mistake. My 1st ford was a figo 2nd a bantam 3rd focus st 2.5 5potte and 4th tourneo connect. I hope the meets stay this big in the st nd rs community.
@@kyleklopper124 Exactly! While I was part of the club including meets and dyno days in 2010 already. Anyway maybe there is more than one ST/RS club in cpt now...
It's not a fuel issue. They came up with the same story when quizzed about not importing the ST200. Months later, they decided to import it. They just don't see much profit in hatches, even though people are buying them. It also has to do with the fact that Rangers and Everest's are assembled in SA. ST's are imported

What do you think Ford have stopped the ST and the RS production in South Africa because for me there is a market for it
there is definitely a market, to me it's like what happened to Chevrolet, the headquarters doesn't see any profit coming from SA
@@andrefortuin4554 very sad, I think this is the right time to buy one and keep it
I own a GTI and im jealous of this. Makes me regret selling my ST

We did invite them….many times 🤷🏼♂️
Ford is not going to be making cars anymore, except bakkies and the Mustang. They're not even interested in the Focus at all anymore.😠😠😠😢😨

@@BubblesTheCat1 you meant only in South African market, right? ...... latest Focus is in America and Europe markets.
Yip not a word🙄

Had mad love for ST during my varsity life. Now searching for a mint RS for keeps. Well done gents

I honestly thought the new ST and RS will come to the country. 😢
I love my ST so much.

The Focus RS with the Volvo engine will always be my favourite Ford.
It's actually the other way around bro

When I started watching this vid I told myself Travis Stone gotta be in here! Lekker buddy 👌🏻 spotless ST, love it 🤩
Even the Kuga has been dropped in SA. I have a 2019 Kuga ST Line. The petrol version and I really enjoy it. Sadly will have to look at another brand come time to renew my vehicle.
Wow it's really sad, it's like what happened to Chevrolet in this country, parts will become more scarce and expensive
Im drive a mazda mps.and im a mazda guy.but working at ford dealer for 16 years i support st also
This was a great one Cars . Coza
Great Work Mac!! Honestly one of the most amazing guys in Team ST. If you’ve spoken to him, you know exactly what I mean.
Reminds me of the early 2000`s Opel Owners Club get together`s...
Heart breaking video
Gets a like from me great event boys Ford ST is a good brand with a real good strong following.
Ford is making a huge mistake, not everyone wants big SUV's and Bakkies
I would love to own an ST 5Pot and RS 5Pot ❤️
i love how midas sponsor the ford video
Ford did really disappointed with the discontinuation of the Focus model. Just happy to see my favorite Mk2 RS.
Great meeting. Wonder why FordSA not bringing them into the country. I still remember the XR6, and better (Interceptor)
Oh my word ST and RS they are not the fastest but very unique
They've stopped them in Australia as well
Lets go CPTST Crew
This is a beautiful video 🥺🔥
Nice one guys!!😀
Legendary.. travis and Kieran!!!!!🙌

It boggles my mind why Ford is denying SA the ST. Can't they not even assist Ford buyers to import ST and RS cars???
Fuel quality Not good enough for the New St/Rs ? What about all the other brands that manage to bring in thier new performance models ? Audi, Vw, BMW......etc
The lady with the green st is kinda cute
If they can see this I'm sure they will be convinced tht they must bring it back
I really hope they will bring the new model range. I will gladly pre-order and wait if needed.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 That Mk6 GTi in the background 😅😅😅😅😅
Yes, we don't want that fart machine mixing up with the thoroughbreds
Seeing this made me miss my FiST 180, I wish Ford would of brought in the new one ☹️
I love focus ST but thing overheat alot
Your Focus ST has issues.

Hi guys, I have a question🤔. Why are they saying the ST club started 2019?? I had a ST like 10yrs ago and then there was a very active cape ST club
They said the CPT ST CRW started 2 years ago
@@kyleklopper124 Exactly! While I was part of the club including meets and dyno days in 2010 already. Anyway maybe there is more than one ST/RS club in cpt now...
Ford should have brought the new automatic ST n RS model before deciding to stop production.
Wonder how many broke down ?
All
😂
Literally not 1
You should come to one of the Underground Society car meets trust it’s worth it 🤞🏼
Big +1 its a must
RS ❤❤❤
Unfortunately due to our bad pertol,.our 95 unleaded is unclean for the New Ford engine apparently.
Are we still buying the fuel quality issue in 2022? All of our refineries are closed and our fuels are currently imported at present.
It's not a fuel issue.
They came up with the same story when quizzed about not importing the ST200. Months later, they decided to import it.
They just don't see much profit in hatches, even though people are buying them.
It also has to do with the fact that Rangers and Everest's are assembled in SA. ST's are imported
Nice 👌

There's probably more STs in just Pretoria alone 🤣 JHB x2 of PTA
