Grey This was silver but probally the same car



I found that other thread

Vince Power has one, but I doubt if it has ever been to Ireland.

Funny you should ask I saw my first one on Saturday in Castleknock, a 06 D GT, think it was Grey/Silver but I was too busy laughing at the aircraft carrier sized turning circle as it pulled out onto the main road.

Not as ugly as I thought it would be in the flesh, very low and very wide.

I saw a blue UK reg one in Tipperary last summer. As far as I know it is the MD of the Enfer plant down there that owns it. The reg was cool, it was ENF3R, well thinking about it, it was probably only cool for him!

maybe its just me but i think that is a terrible colour for the gt, why not get it yellow w/ black stripes, white w/ blue or red with white instead of the same silver paint they would use on a mondeo, it loses a lot of its character i think

sports and classic sold one, so did Richford, and Motorpark have a red one on display.

Fey!

I don't think that the Motorpark one is for sale. They also have one of those very fast escorts on display (they ones that the factory put the huge spoilers on; I can't think of the name of them!!!)

That could be it; it's a kind of purple colour IIRC. They also have a Focus ST.

Some crazy guy in the states took out the supercharger and twinturboed it to 1000bhp! He nearly crashes it on the drap strip..
