Hey all,
Due to taking delivery of our new Black Sapphire LS Focus CL on the 30th May, you're going to see a lot more of me in this area. So I'll apologise now :P
Finally had a couple of days without rain and took some pics today.

Darin

It will keep you happy looking after the black paint, trying to work out what that is on the back window / second last pic ? Dealer Key holder ?

LOL, thats a spidery toy thingy hanging on the grab handle to keep the daughter amused. Look under it and you'll see the top of the baby seat.

BlackLS - She's an auto. The better half isn't keen on manuals. Still a bucket of fun to drive with the auto, I was pleasantly surprised.

Zetec20- I've been stirring Katrina, saying I'm lowering it next. She was looking at the pics as I transferred them from the camera to the PC and said "It would look nice a bit lower..." I've created a hoon :P

Tinted now. Has been for a couple of weeks, but the weather has been too wet to wash it for some pics.

Nice mate, looks so classy, hard to believe it's an entry level model!! Certainly doesn't drive like one.

Don't go too nuts on lowering or rims, just a nice set of 17" wheels would be both practical and comfortable and should suit it perfectly.

Thats the plan. When these tyres are worn out I'll look for a nice 17" wheel and tyre package.

Go the pulsar. They're one of my favorite cars, until the N16 when they went soft.

LSs are only good for 192kmh or so. (vid from Philipines on youtube)

I had the daughter's black LS that has a cat back system to 210 before I had to slow for a bend over in NSW, BTW did some sums and if you could get 6800rpm manual in top, top speed would be 250kph in a auto its 265kph. some useless info for you
