Absolutely huge it is indeed, nothing subtle about that car, and that's just the way I like it, and it actually does something, unlike so many that you see that are just there for show these days

I still say that Ford should produce something Escort/Mondeo/Capri sized with a turbo 4 or v6, RWD and/or AWD and as light as possible, a giant killer with Ford badges that we could be proud of, I know I'd buy it without a second thought, and everyone I spoke to at SFS06 about it felt the same way...

Well I am a bit sunburnt after last Sunday, but it was a good show. My photos are all still in the camera, I will put some up later. Some very nice cars on display, it was a shame the new rally car couldn't come but there was still plenty to see. I was surprised by the number of cars from interstate!

Default My early forecast for Best Focus 2007

I'm in early with predictions. Resty will win it in 2007 if he can come.

Turbocharged, leather interior, morette headlights, black. He'll blow the rest of us away

Wouldn't that be nice! My back is still sore from all the bending and twisting cleaning the car for the week prior. (Remember boys, I'm the old bloke!)

Yeh, but that car in your garage desperately needs the "Danny" engine bay treatment. Makes Helders engine look like it's in showroom condition!
