Well here we are, it's 2026, and I just thought I'd up date everyone with where the Focus ST is, and where I am in like.

As some of you may have read or seen in one of my YouTube videos, back in January 2025 I had a major operation on my colon to remove a stage 3 cancer growth the size of a lime. I actually had NO signs of being ill, and was SO deeply involved in work my fuel time job, also working on my radio breakfast show and career, also production and editing content for my own business and for other people, well I didn't realise I was even the slightest bit tired or loosing weight.

Anyway fast forward a year, and although though I've had life changing surgery, I'm still recovering and fighting the fight. I had about 5 months of chemo followed with 6 months of alternative therapy for nerve damage caused by the chemo, and although I returned to work, all be it for only 4 days a week, it's been a real struggle. I also returned to doing my second job at a local radio station doing 3 breakfast shows a week, which I later cut to 2, and at the moment, I've stepped away completely to concentrate on my recovery.. well the Focus is still being used as my daily, I still enjoy it, and it's actually the longest I've owned one car in my life.

The MOT is due at the end of February, and I have a list of jobs to do, sadly a lot I can't do at the moment, but plan on doing as much as I possibly can. The car is still a riot to drive - although I would love another 80bhp or so.. (wouldn't me all).

Anyhow, I just thought I'd pop on the old Passion Ford, and let you all know things are still happening - all be it at such a SLOW rate.
