Default AUTO EXPRESS - Is this my car ?

Could this be a picture of my actual car....??? (below)

My car was bought direct from Ford as an ex press demo car and the
registration number on that car is only 1 digit out.

Mine is EO55 RXA

If you check the registration number shown on that car on the RAC site,
it comes back as a BLUE 5 DOOR FOCUS GHIA !!

I think its my car and the plate has been photoshopped !

All the dates of registration/publication seem to tie up.
Even the discoloured front bumper

I hope you keep an eye on the oil, despite the long service intervals

Good deal My mate took me out in 'his' - very good handling for a FWD
