I bet the new wheels save a huge amount of weight over the 18X10" comps?
Cant wait to see the car run on sunday now!

Got to say how can this car get any better?????????
Andy will you have to change the suspension geometry for when doing the 1/4mile/track/top speed?
If so what type of changes would be made?

Curious Andrew, as you talked of selling the car. What would you replace it with?
One of the best cars on the scene ever created, truly stunning piece of machinery, wows me every time I see it!

I think Andy's real love is Rallying, so when he can do that again circuit racing will be dumped.

Yes mate he would ideally like to put a cover over the focus & leave it in a corner.We spoke about it the other day i think he would miss the track stuff as well esp because charlie will still be doing some of the track days ect. Its all down to money tho there is no way you could run that focus plus a grpA rally car at the same time.

No, I dread to think of the financial commitment that would require!
It is a shame it would have to be sold, certainly put some work into it, and it must be a great advert for the business, probably one of the best known cars on the scene at the moment!

Charlie shaw has first refusal on the focus he has andrews first mk2 focus but dont think it will be sold its got to be the best ford track car built i cant think of another track car on the scene like it. There are a good few cars like martins escort ect but the focus is so well built & thought out plus proven to be u untill now unbeatable

I have to agree there mate, that car is the most awe inspiring piece of machinery that I have ever seen.
