Yeah, much to my amazement when I turned the corner and spotted Rob's Factory, there was Melbzetec's Focus there. I thought he may have left it there for the day but Melbzetec and I had a chat and took some photos.

I've got to admit that Rob's Factory set-up is Second-To-None!

Hey all,

Just thought I'd give an update on my sightings since it's been quite a while. Just recently I saw a black xr4 driving down ernst ****e rd off the freeway in narre warren. It was sporting very unique looking electric orange overhead stripes. Very cool indeed. And also, here are a few photos of a focus I spotted in Japan while on holiday earlier in the year.

I know this isn't a Euro Ford however I was VERY impressed to see a burgandy 2010 Chevy Camaro heading down my street. Hadn't seen one before and I must say they are very big cars.

chinwe3: Looking at the list of brands on the door of the focus, it looks like that car may actaully have them installed. That has got to be a first.

I would like to have seen some Original WRC vents in the bonnet in that Jap Focus just to finish it off.

Spotted Photn's LR Focus in Queens Rd Melbourne. Although it pains me, I have to say that it has the HORNIEST exhaust note EVER on a Focus. A quick burst of acceleration lets everyone know that it is NOT a stock Focus.

Spotted a ST170 on Burwood Hwy heading toward Ferntree Gully on Friday. Also there is another one for sale at Strapp Ford. 45k kms and only $20k. Too bad the dealer scraped the bottom of the driver side door on the concrete gutter beside the car, when he went to start it up. I almost sacrificed my house deposit on it until I saw that.

Came out of Woolies 2 weeks ago and saw a white XR4 with blue stripes parked next to me, and about 5 spaces down was a stock black WQ LX.

There's a lot of WS Fiestas around near where I live and work. About 1/3 of them are lime-green Zetecs like the one Clarkson reviewed...

I was referring to XR4 pretenders.
Speaking of which, there's a white Fiesta LX in the car park at work that's covered with go-fast stickers and various eBay bits and bobs. The owner's either a real tool or doesn't take himself seriously. I see him in the mirror every morning. :P

Spotted a very rare Lancia Stratos with full race livery, including the big 4 rally driving lights across the front, driving north on Warrigal Rd yesterday afternoon. One hot looking car. Didn't know any existed in Australia. Reputedly less than 500 were ever made

If you don't know what they look like, look here:

I seem to remember seeing an example in the Lobby at Mantra when I was at the WRC last September. Nice indeed.

A couple months ago, one of the bosses here bought a new Focus XR5 in blue with the leather interior. I got to drive it and loved every second I was behind the wheel.

My first sighting of an RS was on Friday. Saw a green one turning left onto Springvale road (northbound) from Maroondah Hwy. I looked at him, he looked at me. It was love mate. pure and simple.

Also spied a blue one on Lonsdale st later that same night. Almost didn't recognise it due to the poor lighting.
