2017 Ford Focus

[BarryPort]

Plan was to have this sitting the way I want it before posting but it couldn’t wait. Covered 1,400 miles since getting it last week from Coventry you can’t pry me out of if. Absolutely thrilled to bits - it’s the best car I’ve ever owned.

On the agenda for next week is:

• Engineer’s Report
• Wheel colour change to silver
• Badges from yellow to blue
• Calipers from yellow to blue
• Remove front tints
• Check if head gasket recall has been done

That looks great but I like the black wheels.

Black is the way they come but I want to take some aggression out of the car. Mountune exhaust doesn’t help matters.

Best colour!

 

[southsky sunrise]

Not bad. Too modern for me tho

 

[KevM]

Blue calipers, please leave the wheels!

Those RS's are awesome! Not Sapphire Cosworth awesome, but a different kind of awesome!

We need a drift mode button video up from the garage

Awesome purchase really like these

Love it, but the wheels are perfect already. I agree about the blue bits though.

You’ve changed @BarryPort HTD

 

[Eager]

I really warmed to these. Nice modern usable but certainly going to appreciate as the last RS production model

 

[Boydie]

Very nice. My manager has one in blue with over 100k on it, loves it to death

 

[da.murf]

lovely!!


I looked very hard at these when I sold the twincam and had a buyer for the 350z... but just couldn't find one in a budget that worked for me.


maybe in a few years 'sigh'

Plans are absolutely bang on. All the best with it, Barry.

Hang on did you sell the wincam or am I missing something

HTD.
Am I missing something here?

It doesn’t look like a 3 cylinder under the bonnet

A genius road tax avoidance scheme?

 

[MarkP]

Or the best rep I have seen

It’s a magnetic grey cat S 1.0 with a cat B RS built into it.

Absolutely everything is RS, in the exact spec I was after, same geometry, power delivery, handling etc. I figured if I’d have bought a £30k RS it would be a garage queen & ive got a few of those. This sits out on the drive, my 2 year old daughter can eat ice cream in the back, my tools go in the boot. With the savings you could pick up a buy-to-let so, man maths.

Don’t be letting the West Midlands police see it in case they get any ideas

 

[BarryPort]

I’m just back from an inspection for an engineers report and he’s given it the thumbs up. Will send his report off to Swansea & get everything above board.

Fantastic!!! So usable at that money.
Edit / not that dead on to be reg checking peoples cars though…

I take it you are referring to my post?
I always tend to do it to cars I'm not sure on to see what bhp they have and don't see any harm in it.

Otherwords, wise up.

Ach lads c’mon it’s a bit of fun. I was banking on that screenshot it’s all part of the gag. I just hope @southsky sunrise thinks I’m cool again.
