Not really a focus tho is it


Bloody smart mind

Stavros

What is it then? A small African child?

People call all these Cossie powered 7/8sec dragsters Escorts and Probes and whatnot when they just a tube frame chassis with a fibreglass silhouette shell on top, so id say this is a Focus!

Same as that 700bhp BDA X-Trac Puma hillclimber, and countless others.

essexrsturbo

i dont think that could be called a focus

PT

looks good. wots the owner using it for.

Thats a fooking Focus and its fooking COOL

Are Scottys cars not Focus's then? what about the Rallycross cars?? all mentally modified with different engines and drivetrains...

I do realise just how far this one is pushing it though

Red16

the school run

Greg Shepherd

that should be abit off a animal

andyhardy

He was going to use it for night-time blasts but then realised the fatal error in his plans!

James-W

Now that is a car. What so if its spaceframed and/or has a different engine/running gear in it isnt a focus.

What i was getting at its a space frame'd car.... Not really a focus

Hardly your 1.6 shell is it....

GARETH T

lovely idea

PT

LoL

There proper shells that have been transformed to take that engine and transmission...

Space frames are built around the engine and the way it perform for what ever its going to be used for.. ?? no?

Stavros

I presume Mike Endeans Puma isnt a Puma either? As its built in same way...

Its a space frame shell too, as are countless RallyX and Hillclimb cars, they dont openly admit it, but most ARE pure spaceframe with a full fibreglass or carbon shell on top...

Why use a Puma shell where there nothing on it you need?

9.5sec 1.4mile, 0-60 in 1.8seconds!





Awesome car

Ginge !

think the fibre glass skins are more like radio controlled cars

a spaced frame focus should have the focus wings,,,,,,,,,,,, or atleast headlamps

still a fucking cool idea

with the shell idea he can make it a transit, a scooby or even a skyline powered mars bar for other events

and it aint gonna rust either so it cants be classed as a proper ford

Ginge !

see thats how ford should have made the puma look,,,,,,,, would have sold alot better too if they did

Spax

Notice both from Guernsey

We love our fast cars...I'll try and find the Fiat 126 with a GSXR Turbo motor in it....

GARETH T

that puma is amazing,,, did he ever get the active diffs in there?

Rich_w

Fuck me, I agree with you

You couldn't compete in Touring Cars or WRC with a space frame car. It has to be at least based on a production car. Even Doran's Fiesta started life as a basic shell. That Focus could be anything (Citroen/Peugeot/Lada) if they fitted the appropriate fibreglass panels.

creedy

that puma is sweet

Kev.H

looks like a ford and goes fast good enough for me fucking purists how r we ever gonna compete against other marques if we dont explore what is possible

MWF

Doesn't sound the same just called it a "Skyline Powered Spaceframed Hillclimb Car That Could Look Like Anything Really If You Stuck A Different Shell On"

I can guarantee that if a Space framed Skyline (that French JGTC one springs to mind) demolished everyone at TOTB or Santa Pod everyone would be claiming it wasn't a real Skyline.

Theres nothing wrong with that car being the way it is. It looks like a good bit of kit, and to be fair its probably up against similar machinery. But its origins are hardly Ford.

Moose 130

Love the workshop, bet he never gets cold!

Focus is sweet too!

It's Czech Mate

I think you'll find the Puma is the only Mass Produced Ford to ever go out of production with a waiting list, so they really didnt have a problem selling them anyway

Rich_w

Really I didn't know that. I always thought the "Racings" were the last of the line. To celebrate it and drum up interest in the basic car.

Oh and I love the Sig quote. Wheres it from

Stavros

When Chuck Norris has sex with a man, it is not because he is gay, but because he has run out of women.

Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.

If you ask Chuck Norris what time it is, he always says, "Two seconds till."
After you ask, "Two seconds till what?" he roundhouse kicks you in the face.

Chuck Norris uses ribbed condoms inside out, so he gets the pleasure.

Since 1940, the year Chuck Norris was born, roundhouse kick related deaths have increased 13,000 percent.

There are no disabled people. Only people who have met Chuck Norris.

There is no chin behind Chuck Norris' beard. There is only another fist.

It was once believed that Chuck Norris actually lost a fight to a pirate, but that is a lie, created by Chuck Norris himself to lure more pirates to him.

Chuck Norris once lined up to kick the winning field goal of a high school football game. When the football went flat, he persuaded the referees to let him kick the field goal with a 3 month old child. Chuck roundhouse kicked the baby 60 yards through the uprights and then proceeded to bang every girl in the stadium.

When Chuck Norris's wife burned the turkey one Thanksgiving, Chuck said, "Don't worry about it honey," and went into his backyard. He came back five minutes later with a live turkey, ate it whole, and when he threw it up a few seconds later it was fully cooked and came with cranberry sauce. When his wife asked him how he had done it, he gave her a roundhouse kick to the face and said, "Never question Chuck Norris."

Those aren't credits that roll after Walker Texas Ranger; it is actually a list of people that Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked in the face that day.

If you unscramble the letters in "Chuck Norris" you get "Huck corn, sir."
That is why every fall, Chuck travels to Nebraska and burns the entire state down.

Chuck Norris' tears cure cancer. Too bad he has never cried.

Chuck Norris once roundhouse kicked someone so hard that his foot broke the speed of light, went back in time, and killed Amelia Earhart while she was flying over the Pacific Ocean.

Chuck Norris does not have AIDS but he gives it to people anyway.

Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter he grew a beard.

When Chuck Norris plays Oregon Trail his family does not die from cholera or dysentery, but rather roundhouse kicks to the face. He also requires no wagon, since he carries the oxen, axels, and buffalo meat on his back. He always makes it to Oregon before you.

Chuck Norris built a time machine and went back in time to stop the JFK assassination. As Oswald shot, Chuck met all three bullets with his beard, deflecting them. JFK's head exploded out of sheer amazement.

Chuck Norris sold his soul to the devil for his rugged good looks and unparalleled martial arts ability. Shortly after the transaction was finalized, Chuck roundhouse kicked the devil in the face and took his soul back. The devil, who appreciates irony, couldn't stay mad and admitted he should have seen it coming. They now play poker every second Wednesday of the month.

A man once asked Chuck Norris if his real name is "Charles". Chuck Norris did not respond, he simply stared at him until he exploded.

Chuck Norris recently had the idea to sell his urine as a canned beverage.
We know this beverage as Red Bull.

Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

Chuck Norris once shot a German plane down with his finger, by yelling, "Bang!"

The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.

After much debate, President Truman decided to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima rather than the alternative of sending Chuck Norris. His reasoning? It was more "humane".

Chuck Norris often asks people to pull his finger. When they do, he roundhouses them in the abdomen. Then he farts.

Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs.

If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can't see Chuck Norris you may be only seconds away from death.

One of the greatest cover-ups of the last century was the fact that Hitler did not commit suicide in his bunker, but was in fact tea-bagged to death by Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris took my virginity, and he will sure as hell take yours. If you're thinking to yourself, "That's impossible, I already lost my virginity." then you are dead wrong.

Chuck Norris uses a live rattle snake for a condom.

Aliens do exist. They're just waiting for Chuck Norris to die before they attack.

Once Chuck Norris was knighted by the queen of England. When the queen was performing the ceremony, Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked her in the face and stole her tiara. He now wears it when he plays polo with Prince Charles every Thursday as a reminder.

Chuck Norris's girlfriend once asked him how much wood a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. He then shouted, "HOW DARE YOU RHYME IN THE PRESENCE OF CHUCK NORRIS!" and ripped out her throat. Holding his girlfriend's bloody throat in his hand he bellowed, "Don't f--k with Chuck!" Two years and five months later he realized the irony of this statement and laughed so hard that anyone within a hundred mile radius of the blast went deaf.

Chuck Norris appeared in the "Street Fighter II" video game, but was removed by Beta Testers because every button caused him to do a roundhouse kick. When asked bout this "glitch," Norris replied, "That's no glitch."

And Mr T

Mr. T doesn't pity anyone who likes the Black Eyed Peas. He just kills them.

Mr. T speaks only when necessary. His main form of communication is folding his arms and slowly shaking his head. And regardless of the situation, he is always understood.

There are only four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, because Mr. T is going to walk.

Mr. T coined the phrase, "I see dead people," after the waiting staff at Denny's forgot his birthday.

Mr. T once shook hands with Chuck Norris, or so it appeared. In actuality, their combined power caused an earthquake, which gave their hands a look of shaking to any onlookers, who were probably too scared to accurately testify anyway.

On the A-team, Face , Haniabal, and Murdoch were all masters of disguise. Mr T didn't have to wear a disguise. The bad guys didn't recognize him out of fear.

Mr. T invented fools. Realizing the magnitude of his folly, he then created Pity.

23. That's the number of people Mr. T has pitied in the time it has taken you to read this sentence.

Mr. T once punched Chuck Norris at the exact moment he roundhouse kicked Mr. T in the chest. The result was the 80's.

Mr. T is allergic to doorknobs. That's why he can only kick through doors.

Mr. T's pity for fools is used by mathematicians as a demonstration of the concept of infinity.

Mr. T once pitied the sun. The result was the Ice Age.

Mr. T's edition of the VH1 show 'Where Are They Now' was the shortest in the show's history. It was 10 seconds long, and consisted of a black screen with the words "Right Behind You" written on it.

Mr. T once rocked the Casbah. Which explains why there is no longer a Casbah.

On all 3428 instances it occured, when Mr. T and Chuck Norris both 'deflower' the same woman, the resulting spermal battles have caused the woman's uterus to explode in a flurry of pity and roundhouse kicks.

Mr. T is not black. It's just that the sun is too afraid to shine on him.

The "T" in Mr. T stands for a word that can not be translated into any language. If Mr. T were to speak it, being the only person who knows the word, the universe would implode.

The last time Mr. T went to McDonald's, Ronald McDonald greeted him. What occured next proved to be the most violent beating of a clown ever recorded in human history.

Despite popular belief, if there is a fool in the woods, and nobody is around to hear his jibba jabba, Mr. T is still able to pity him.

You have only seen Mr. T in human form. In Narnia, he is a T-Rex with a lion's tail hanging out of his mouth.

Behind every great man, there is a great woman. Behind that woman is Mr. T.

Mr. T was fired from the Psychic Friends Network for always predicting pain.

It took five women 2 years to give birth to Mr. T.

Mr. T was the first to kill two birds with one stone. He kept the stone, and as of now it has killed 6,048.

Mr. T made his van go twice the speed of light because he wanted to prove that quantum physics was a bunch of jibba jabba.

Before Mr. T, the alphabet only had 25 letters.

Mr. T doesn't have internal organs. He had them removed to make more room for muscle.

Every time Mr. T pities the fool, a porn-star regains her virginity. Then proceeds to lose it to Mr. T.

Mr. T took Mother Nature from behind. We refer to the event as the Big Bang.

Lol i think Steve's answered that! I think stuff like the Puma Thunder? Yellow with Black Leather? were special editions to keep them flying out of the door. Not sure why they did the FRP but it's a hell of a better car than the figures suggest. If you havent driven one then you need to do so, really really great car IMO
