Default Wow could not believe how cheap !!

I have bought a 2006 st-2 focus. Did a moneysupermarcket quote. Took the first price then rang them up to comfirm and buy it. On the st and I'm 21 with 3 years no claims. Only social use and fully comp was £1300. Was very surprised at that. At least the insurance is decent pity about the fuel price though lol

lol yeah everybody seems to be moaning about insurance prices going up by like 40%, but i checked mine the other day and and it came out at £1100 fully comp, no mileage limitations, mods included (zaust,k&n filter, remap and splitter) and thats for a 20 year old with 2 years NCB on a mk1 Focus RS! well chuffed with that tbh.....

And yeah, know what ya mean about the fuel price! lol filled mine up with £65 the other day got 190 miles out of it and needed filling up again! lol

My St-2 is 330 bhp. I put £60 fuel in and it does 220 miles on that if i go steady ish! but good fun. Nothing better than having a standard looking St and having all that power. Should see boy racers face when u leave them for dead in saxos and gti plus my St is 5 door. Even better haha lol

Mine should be about 270 (not tested yet) and love it. Want 300 when funds permit.

makes me laugh though that the boy racers still try it on with the traffic light Gran Prix. I just leave them to it, be my luck to get done for racing!

One thing I wish I did do though was get the 5 door.

No mate, the DSci Platform software for my laptop. Upload tunes via ODB-USB. Also reads fault codes.
The main selling feature for me was being able to unlock features of your car but that has not been done yet (and it was on sale)
