Ok,

As some of you may know I now have a Focus ST-2 Electric orange.



I didnt care what the colour was when I got it as I just wanted a modern
reasonably fast FORD.

It is a very nice car if a little under powered.

But......

My kids love it, My wife WONT get in it

Everyone looks at me when I drive it down the road.

Is this because they recognise this as a Special Version Focus,
because the colour is very rare or because I look like a 40 year old
in a 18 years car.

Your kind thoughts are invited please.....

How much are resprays

 

I prefer the orange asbos myself

 

change the wife mate,not the colour i love the orange ones

 

I reckon is cos people look and say look at that chap driving his sons car he must feel a right tit..

 

orange looks fab...time to trade her in mate

 

its deffo cos they recognise it as an St, first thing u think when u see an orange one. . ST. . wheraes the other colours dont stand out an say ST. . they too busy lookin at the car to see who's drivin

 

I really hope so

 

well if you fancy an older white car as a swap, let me know

 

Ive seen a few threads on here where the wifes wont get in certain cars...............................I dont understand why really . Tell her to walk

 

Why what the f*ck is wrong with her?

 

Your a ford lover ASHAMED to drive your own car?


oh dear

 

AlexF

At least I have one

 

I think the orange ST's look

Asbo is cool

unfortunately for me, ASBO has another meaning

Another Train
Signal
Buffer Stops
Other Obstruction



fucking railway anacronyms

 

I have to say if i was to get one it'd have to be either orange or white!

All the other colours just blend in too well imho.

 

i ONLY ever spot the orange ones lol, the rest look like normal focus' to me lol

even MY missus got in our drift car, and i painted that orange with rattle cans,,, aaaaaaaaaaaand it had one headlight smashed and both indicators

so said it was shit tho, and unfortunatly i had half of our new kitchen in the back or i would have showed her my drifting skills,,, again

 

I have a transit....

so

 

When ever we all go out, it has to be in her Vauxhall Corsa.

I will christen it soon one way or another

 

AlexF,

I will accept the when the tranny is in your siggy for at least 28
consecutive days....

 

IMO orange is the ONLY colour for an ST. I am bias as ive got an orange obsession ( ) but defo time to change the wife not the car!!!!

Chris

 

wonder how one would look in mallard green?

 

Best colour imo

 

definitely think people look at them because theyre an eyecatching car, in a very nice colour, and as for looking like your sons car, i aint seen anyone young driving one,

imo its the best colour theyve done in a long time

 

The orange looks cool..........but same as citrine yellow when ford first painted cars that colour.

What do you think when you see a citrine yellow car now?

 

LMAO!

ok maybe I'll change it...

alex

 

Best colour for them IMO

A mate of mine even changed the colour of his honda to it:





Keep it orange

 

Same here!!

I looooooove the colour.. only coz it matches my roots

 

Orange rulez, my website is Orange !!!

 

I like the colour, you recognise the cars in orange whereas you don't in Blue etc. Was out kitchen shopping with my dad the other day though, he turned to me and went ''Orange? Do people not realise they look like absolute morons'' ''Dad, moron is welsh for carrot'' ''All the better''.

 

that looks cool imo..

 

Nice

 

I wouldn't say I look at the new ST as a young persons car really. Maybe due to the cost and insurance. I wuld say late 20s/30s main age group? Suppose a salesman from ford can shed light on main buyers?

 

Limo tint on the windows on the passenger side so she can't be seen in it. Sorted

 

whipped

 

 

Just got a quote for me & the wife on an ST3 out of interest.

I'm 23, had my licence for 2 years, 2 years no claims, clean licence (until i seal this envelope and send this letter back anyway....bugger), insured for business use - up to 30k/year (20k business miles)

Ł2680.57 with Ł800 excess



If i could justify paying it...it'd be an orange one for sure though

Get her Corsa resprayed in orange.....she'll get used to it

 

She could always dye her hair orange, it would act as camoflage

Seriously, as above, the only ones I ever notice are orange and they always look

 

really? in german, moehren are carrots

perhaps more useful though, would be to know how to say moron in welsh

 

Orange ones are sweet

Out of interest what it the fuel economy like on an ST? Standard day to day driving?

 

the missus drove the st against the new civic type-r the other day at chobham. said the st was slow
