Well I won't be driving mine for about another year, whereas dgt will have 220 bhp vs my 190 and should have it driving soon. The standard arb at the rear is tiny, think it's 14mm and the understeer on the v6 is bad...and scary!

toastedpickles

Ah well then, fair enough reason i guess!

ST Fogs look so much better than the standard ones.

Are you selling the Mondeo for the Focus?

Long story short - due to unexpected circumstances long time car collector's been forced to sell his entire (rusty alright) collection. Otherwise, all of them will go to scrap!

I really hope he's gonna sell all of them, pure gems over there! :eek:

I see many of those cars being bought off of him.

If we're talking vintage, I'm very tempted by this.

If i can get the rotted driveshaft tunnel repaired and two new tyres then yes, but probably not

Ya I think they make a nicer change as opposed to the normal ones. No, mondeo is going nowhere, this is just a second car, for when the mondeo will be used elsewhere!

Was driving along today when I met a Focus and the driver was so kind as to throw his coffee cup out the window and onto my windscreen. The wind carried it over to my car, gave me a fright as i wasn't expecting that. Makes you think what goes on in people's heads

Will ST fogs fit a non-ST focus bumper?

That's for sure. It's bad enough he was throwing the coffee cup out side(littering) but to throw it onto somebodys windscreen is just crazy.

My uncle was driving home one night and the car on front started throwing out rubbish he recons maybe there was ice from a drink or something hard and they were doing 100kmh. Long story short the stuff hit the front of his car damaged the bumper bonnet and broke a fog light. It was dark so he never found out what they were throwing out maybe it was deliberate happened at about 3 am when he was on his way home from the hospital his wife had given birth car wasn't even a year old either. Bonnet bumper respray and new foglight wasn't cheap.

Should have got the reg and called it in.

Deffo something harder than ice to do all that damage.

I know in hind sight. But the car accelerated off quickly and he didn't think the damage was bad until he got out. He went to the cars and reported the car he know what type colour it was and I think they were on the look out for it for other reasons but nothing came off it. I don't know it's a bad enough feeling to damage your own car but when someone else does it even if it only slight like a car park dent it's just horrible when it happens specially if you keep your car well.

Truck driver threw a coffee on my car a few years ago. Bloody ape had a how's my driving sticker on the back.

Tbh he was going the opposite way and when it happened I didn't have time to get his reg but it was a red focus

That reminds me of the trailer park boys. Truckers have deadlines to meet and don't have time to pull over so they piss into a piss jug and fúck it out on the highway.
