Not really a focus tho is it


Bloody smart mind

 

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.

 

i dont think that could be called a focus

 

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

 

the school run

 

that should be abit off a animal

 

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

 

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....

 

lovely idea

 

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?

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Notice both from Guernsey

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

 

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

 

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.

 

that puma is sweet

 

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

 

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.

 

 

Love the workshop, bet he never gets cold!

Focus is sweet too!

 

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

 

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

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."

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!"

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 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.

cool car also

 

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
