Default Who is this? Blast from the past

Ok, read the article and tell me who you think this Current Club Member is!

To the member that wrote the article, don't give away that it was you until someone guesses it! Found while browsing old editions of Wheels Magazine.



Any guesses?

Tim

Nope, good guess tho, as he just recently bought a Focus, although I think he bought a Focus CL 5 door!

so how much is the chip after discount? Just wonder if it's worth it for 12kW

my guess is Mio since Zetec has already been guessed.

Magical_ED wins, surely only one club member I know of has ever used the term ST170 Killer and also drives a 3 door Focus Zetec. Here, have a can of spam for your efforts.

4:

The correct answer: the AFF User "zetec".

From Wheels, November 2003. I will find you if you make yourself too obvious, no matter where people try to hide!

Thanks Tim! I've written more than 1 letter to wheels too over the years...

To further add to the letter, Powerchip actually never offered chips for the Zetec so that 108kw is just a dream. But $600 for a Powerchip looked well worth it in my books. Imagine the chip plus a zorst plus a filter, you're staring down the barrel of a healthy 115kw plus for $27-28k driveaway and that's at 2003 prices so compared to the $37k back thern for the ST plus onroads, it seemd like an absolute crime not to do it!! Value for money wise it was fantastic until I got the kick in the balls that they didn't offer them on Zetecs... not sure if they od now either, haven't looked on their website since.

I'm personally ashamed of all of you for not guessing me straight away!!

By the way guys, just read the article, it answers what kind of car and when...

Correct, my colour is blue flame. I originally wanted Ink Blue and had to 'settle' for Blue Flame, but it's grown on me.

My favorite color of any Focus is the Capri Blue of our other Focus though.

I've looked for this blue flame colour, and my mum did but couldn't find it for some reason, the only blue was ink blue and she didnt like it.

Blue flame was discontinued ages ago, hence it's not possible anymore, at least no more new ones, there might be a handful of old demos still, maybe on or two if you're lucky, but it's officially a dead colour and has been for a while.
