errrm, supposed I am,

I grew up going to Dance clubs that used to play "Shalamar"
Snickers where called Marathons
I could get the Bus from Hanwell To Ealing Broadway for 5p

Cruising in mates Capri (Mk.2) listening to a tape called "Night Dubbing" by Imagination

does that give you a clue.

44's on the board... cool

as I said I'm looking at buying a Focus, so hoping to get advise when needed. Friendly looking board.

Am on MigWeb (Vauxhall) one of the guys on there pointed me in this direction

cheers all for the fab welcome

re: the focus I saw today

funilly enough the guy selling it I know from a dance club I goto to

Everything seemed ok, execpt no servcie history book (Though was told it was somewhere)
the clutch felt really low (or my astra is really high), brakes where bang on, performance was good, bodywork good, tyres where near the wear markers (as I do 250 miles a week !)

so gave it a miss.
