Spotted - 3rd April 2021 onwards

Maldives blue E85 parked up outside a house this afternoon in the hills somewhere south of Settle.
 
Silver E85 near Oulton Park on Friday 1st August gave you a flash :)and you waved back . There was also a black Z4 M40i parked in J&S motorbike accessories car park we had a very quick chat .
 
Maldives Blue E85 on the Welshpool McDonalds roundabout earlier, we were the Silver E85 the other side of the roundabout
 
Nice Dark blue E86 Coupe A1M South past Peterborough R*07WCZ

Thought it might be "Street" I was on a Metallic Gold Yellow 675 Daytona Motorcycle trying to get eye contact while you totally ignored me šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
 
bit late to this (couldn't find this bloody thread!) but spotted 1st August in Ashboune, Black 3.0si coupe on CSLs and with a rear bootlip spoiler. Private Plate saying 'CHA5'.

Looked very nice - I presume you were mates with the MX5 parked up next to you too? Your car got the seal of approval from my little boy lol.

Spotted CHA5 again this afternoon heading through Ashbourne, managed a wave :)
 
Black E85 (I think facelift, couldn't see properly) on private plate parked in the Newhaven Ferry terminal, near the railway station, where I was waiting in mine to pick up eldest from hols in Malta. Amazing how much the roadster boot will hold actually lol. (EDIT: I mean for luggage of course, ahem)
 
Grey E85 with the roof down, **54 EEP on Haslington Bypass. Your plate gave us a laugh from the Silver S-Max in front of you.
 
Silver E85 with the roof down coming out of Oswestry about an hour ago, 55 plate. (I waved out of habit, but was test driving a Focus ST so quite understandably was ignored šŸ˜‚)
 
That was our daughter 🤣 - I was headed home from Scout Camp on Shedfest day! (I’m a leader not a scout šŸ˜)

:rofl:Oh well close :rofl:I`m a heavy rocker /punk / post punk / goth etc etc you get the idea :devilish: Great to meet your husband and daughter . Must all meet up sometime with myself and my partner Karen as you are not far from us :thumbsup:
 
Good to see you are still awake at this time of the morning :devilish: Time to play some Fields of the Nephilim :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :)

and what are your conclusions ?? :)
Coming from a Fiesta ST it is a more refined car, but that leads to it feeling slightly less urgent down the road. Definitely a lot faster, and (non-adaptive) suspension is tuned much better for UK roads, the fiesta is quite jiggly/firm by comparison. Focus still feels just as planted on the road, and still has that playful edge in the twisties. Numbers are something like ~250kg weight increase, 80bhp, 130Nm increase, but way more space inside.

Slightly more grown up than the Fiesta, but a solid upgrade from it I think. The estate will likely replace the Fiesta ST & S-Max with one vehicle and most of the fun and most of the practicality (luckily we don't need 7 seats anymore!)
