Yep, you hit the nail on the head there Mr W
I can't sell it anytime soon, it will depreciate faster than a Bentley!

You know the rules - pics please

It would feel rude to put pictures of a Fix Or Repair Daily on here.
OK you asked for it!
Do you like my garage?

 

[Ole gits rule]

Like a fast Ford but prefer the hatch but like the wolf in sheep's clothing look of the estate

 

[Mr Tidy]

Sometimes reality does spoil our dreams!

Still your car looks very smart, and I love that colour.

Sean the word is "sleeper". You need to get with us kids, bruvva
Seriously quick car, though. 1.4 tonnes, 280ps, LSD, clever suspension, forged pistons and internals, Michelin PS4s as standard. Recaros, B&O stereo, can get the dog in the back. What's not to like (apart from the looks)

Me too, but not popular. They changed the colour after 6 months cos nobody bought them

Sleeper - far too old to use that terminology.

Love the hatch in orange although looks yellow to me - wanted one as a company car but P11D was a killer :x

Great colour! 8)

I also love a Fast Ford. Enjoy it

 

[mgrlane]

Love the colour- bet it looks nice in the sunshine.

Forged Internals definitely means more boost- would be rude not too

Power to weight is almost identical to the E89 (179bhp/ tonne) but the Ford is so much more linear in the way it doles out the power. As it is FWD, it does have torque steer if you go silly, whereas the RWD of the Zed, with the wider rear tyres, creates less drama in a straight line or accelerating hard off, say, a roundabout.
The way the Focus grips is pretty amazing. Either the PS4s are the best tyres ever made, or the Ford boys have sorted something, or a mixture of both I don't know; but confidence inspiring it definitely is.
The ride is also very comfortable; considering it handles so well.

I really like my "racing lorry"

Me too, pal, me too

 

[Ole gits rule]

Sleeper is made of wood and used on a railway or in the garden to put a shed on

Has it gone yet?

Has it gone yet?

Yep. And a tidy 22.7% profit in 4 months; try getting that without drug dealing

Decent profit, where did it go

Decent profit, where did it go

To a Ford main dealer Shows how desperate they are for stock.

 

[Ole gits rule]

Good deal all round - they are desperate for anything decent these days
