    I'm not as drunk as I thought I would be. Stayed on the Torettos tonight then bought a Santa hat in McDonalds. Both the taxi to and from the Nightclub had airbag lights on, the first was a Superb that had the added 'drum kit' front suspension, second was a Primera

    So I've to get stuck into the PG racecar tomorrow and while I'm not completely locked now I'm sure I'll be friggin hangin in the morning.

    I am Niall of Niall Land. Have an Avensis tractor. She does me well. Looking for an old van. Possibly an ambulance to annoy my neighbours with parked on the road and hopefully turn into my little surfing haven paradise mobile. I will also own a Capri but my financial disposition has put that on hold :(

    Hello my name is Linas. ( those damn foreign names, don't even try to pronounce it lol )

    My name's Niall, and like Alan I drive a shitty car.

    Stuck the exhaust back on over the weekend - mother of god what a job. Had to whack it back on with my largest ratchet (don't have a hammer) and a fair amount of force. It's the most amount of physical effort I've put into fixing a car yet.

    In the end I couldn't push the exhaust in far enough to get the exhaust hangers to line up so I had to use the ratchet to dent the inner bumper enough to get it over the inner sill. Finally got it into place, stuck it on the hangers and reinforced it with duct tape. Success! And lots of large rust flakes all over the place. Actually the back of the car is rusting to bits.

    1.6 Mk1 Focus soon!

    A little rich in price but the engines good, the spec is good and insurance shouldn't be too bad as it's not an ST170 or RS. Plus it looks pretty fresh to boot.

    I can't really afford over €1500. I'd say bargaining him down by 25% would be a tall order. Nice car though.

    Anyone have an opinion on this?

    Suspiciously cheap? It's in Drogheda and Google says the guy's a qualified accountant. Doing grind so he may well be unemployed. It's been up for a bit too long though.

    Have you sat in a mark 1 Focus Confab? They are a fairly love them or hate them interior :)

    For your budget would you not consider an Alfa 156 or something? The handling of the Focus is completely over rated and the 1.6 though relatively decent in comparison to the 1.4 is still by no means fantastic power wise.

    A 130,000 mile 02 Focus is not a premium motor, with a short test it's worth no more than what he's asking.

    I dont get the love for Astra's from some people on here. Apart from the OPC (and even that I'm not too keen on) I dont see why anyone would ever consider one? :confused:

    But then again I guess the Focus is somewhat the same, apart from the ST/RS I wouldn't have considered one.

    True, I have an Opel and hate it. Not a chance of me buying an Astra.
