Hey guys so I was cruising on the E Way last night and I see a yellow blob looking thing in my rear view coming fast. Guy pulls up next to me and it was a Brand new Focus ST This guy had it modded. We honk 3 times at a roll around 50 MPH and he just took off Couldn't even catch him. So I followed him off the off ramp he gave me the thumbs up and he says follow me into the parking lot He was actually a cool guy and not a Prick! He gave me a test drive. And its actually a pretty cool car with lots of features. He popped the hood and he told me He put in a bigger turbo, BOV, and exhaust and heads. This thing was quick!

I was in Sydney one night recently for a car club meeting & had one of those focus things drive beside me trying to get me to have a go.. I didn't for one second entertain the idea of racing because to be truthfull, I thought why waste the fuel on a 4 cylinder buzz box shopping trolly... Lucky for me then going by this thread that I didn't have a try as I would have got spanked big time...
The focus has been a regular in Australia since not long after its European debut, and has a strong following.
Last year I went to a "Top Gear Live" show & they had 4 of them doing the indoor stunts.. The Top Gear guy's raved about them.
Not for me, but each to their own....

Post of the century. And on a Saturday at 12am. You sir, must me a drunken philosopher lol. There's always better, there's always worse too. Taking in the big picture, ours is a lot closer to the top of the list than bottom

Ford was garbage up until recently (2011ish)... I am glad they are turning things around. Maybe one day I will drive one (not a focus, though).

Just waiting for mopar to catch up now...
