Get it quite a lot people making comments like:

"Whats someone like you driving a nice car like that?"
"you cant leave a car like that here, its like a red rag to a bull"
"driving a posh car like that in an area like this is asking for trouble"




etc etc etc.

I tend to ignore such morons.

Well when they are being driven with the rears smoking up and driving round the streets like a drifting competition, you'd have to be completely fooked in the head not to turn round to wtf was going on.

I'd be turning round to see if it was heading straight for me

I saw a white 3 door on the M25 a few months ago, was about 6am and it looked superb with the motorway lights bouncing off the curves and glistening on the std wheels. I think everyone was gawping at it. Very rare sight these days. First thing I thought when I saw it at that time was, wonder if it's just been nicked. It looked immaculate and just seemed an odd sight in the early morning M25 traffic, didn't leave the fast lane.

Same with my diamond white 2wd. A while back I had to go to a big breakers yard to pick up a part for my everyday car. It was a nice day so I took the Cossy, drove into their car park , found a spot and parked up.When I came back outside there was quite a few of the blokes who work there all looking at my car and taking a real interest in it. They asked if they could look at the engine and were very impressed that a 24 year old car still looks so good.There are not many nice ones left now and I cant remember the last time I was out in mine and saw another one on the road.

Hi Glenn, around here its mainly Focus RS or ST very rarely see any older Fords.
By the way did you get tempted to buy the Hi- Spec big brake set-up that was advertised?
Cheers Richard from Southampton.

I do see a lot of STs and a few Mk2 focus RSs too.

I would love a big set of front brakes for my cossie.
