Not really used the site for ages, but got some enthusiasm for playing with cars again. Cars were just transport for a spell.

Owned the Focus from 17k, its on about 72k now. Toyed with changing it in the new year but having just spent a load on it including the Clutch and dmf we'll keep it for now. Overall its been a good motor for us, the wheels let it down so they'll be refurbed after the winter. I lost interest in road cars for a spell, played with off roading so cleaning cars wasn't a high priority so this got washed now and again. Long term i'll be uprating the brakes with some better discs and some sort of fast road pad and a cat back too.

After a quick clean and bufty!



After struggling for time to off road and needing something cheaper to run among other reasons i bought a Partner combi , mainly to carry my bikes easier, managed 10months in that but i will never buy anything french, high mileage or diesel again. My budget wasn't huge as a second car but most stuff i looked at was utter garbage!

Just got this a week or two ago though, its a bit dated and i know they're not to everyones taste:




Got it with 6months tax, 12 months mot, some history and all mots from its first 1. Its had a bit of paint but its a good enough job and its a genuine car. It already had a k&n fitted but will be getting a powerflow as soon as i can and brake upgrade when they need to be replaced. The rest will be a nice simple install and keeping it tidy.
Would love to lower it but the road into my work is a nightmare. Not a fan of the standard wheels but they're tidy and ive not found an alternative i like yet.

 

looks nice. i like the st24s

 

Nice st24. Don't see many any more.

 

Thanks,

They were really cheap not long back, suppose they got hammered and neglected and then scrapped/broken.

 

lovely pair

 

Both stunning cars matey.

 

They both look good, but i like the mondeo more

 

Nice cars mate!!

 

Up to date shot after a quick bufty. Now debadged, smoked repeaters and powerflow cat back fitted. Getting the studs out of the cat to fit the stainless has done exactly as i predicted, all the effort has damaged the flexi. I'll replace it and decat it at the same time.


Went to town on the wheels on the mrs' car too, the wheels really let the car down but overall its a massive improvement.
