Who would've thought a little word like "adhok" could generate 17 18 replies?

I've always thought it meant: a makeshift solution

But that may be just my poor understanding of the phrase  :lol:

The same goes for the word ----  u s ---- when you use it to mean something is knackered.

u s was from the word unservicable coined by the Yanks during the 2nd WW

Actually I'm pretty sure it's two words, as in "ad hoc".  And I think it's Latin

In Europe Ford give the RS badge to the hottest in their range, started back with the MK1 Escort RS1600, then the MK2 RS1800 & RS2000, then the RS200, followed by the Sierra Cosworth RS500 and now the Focus RS.  As can be gleaned from the few Ford cars over the years which have worn the RS badge it is based around the motorsport division, aptly called Rallye Sport.
The Subarus use that badge in Asia and Asian Pacific regions, in the UK they are denoted R, RX & WRX.

In hindsight believe we got the RS2000 Ford Escort in OZ many years ago and I just discovered that we started getting the FOcus RS over here in September but at around A$60,000 no wonder I havent seen any.  :eek:

I think we had both Brian. I've certainly seen both but they may have been dedicated race or rally machines and not readily available road ones. I can't remember. :scared:
