    Rolling roadblock though I got a good laugh out that :D Autogrips worked quite well in the dry, it was my brakes that saved the day!

    Your brakes did stop it on its head, I just had the rears off and have totally destroyed the pads! They are baked! New set needed.

    When I was behind you I was backing off earlier than normal because your car could stop so fast I was afraid of not leaving distance :)

    Sent the car in for a new clutch only to be told that it needs a new flywheel as well. :(

    Looks like I'll be hanging onto it for the next few years now.

    I'd mention that you've owned it twice, in case someone is worried about number of owners .

    What do you mean? I was looking for an ST before. Am I in certain audience? I was thinking it could be a good track day car.

    One thing you could do is change that unbelievably outdated sig of yours (your daily driver one) and replace it with a link to your ad ;)

    Having a link in your sig is fine. You could have it advertised on a porn site and it'd still be fine.

    Plus I think they've kind of calmed down on the who adverts.ie thing.

    I'd be interested to hear many how come knocking/ringing/texting about your ST. Its the kind of car that I imagine will attract a lot. Serious performance for not too much money.

    Hopefully you get a genuine one sooner rather than later.

    Good luck with the sale

    He sold it once before so I would say he knows what to expect, its a decent price for an ST also.

    Had one of the longer work days today, reset the trip computer this morning lol


    8uRwTU.jpg

    I dunno what 8.2l\100km is in old money but for the 300bhp car that it is I don't think it's too bad. Wasn't exactly light on the righ pedal either. It's been more economical so far than the Mondeo ecoboost which I found mildly interesting...

    These cars absolutely eat up miles like nothing else. Great seats/stereo/climate control. Plus @80mph its pulling 1750rpm :D

    Thats somewhere just shy of 30mpg doing it in my head, very impressive if I am right!

    Nearly 35mpg. Funny that the speedo is solely in mph but the trip computer reads in l/100km.

    There mustn't have been much work done, 820 miles at 65mph is like 13 hours at the wheel? :pac:
