Nice. There's a 3 door version round by me. I like them, that's the best colour too.

 

[pauldf1971]

dont have rear pic as it has a bigger roof line spoiler or ned cap as i used to call it

I had several Mk1 Focus as hire cars at various times, but never owned one. I thought they were the best driving "family hatchback" type cars going!

best ford ive ever driven jamie when i bought it i got for £1000 becuase they thought the ecu was capput and had a bump at rear the car kept dying when driven all it needed was a £23 speedo sensor problem solved and my boy pulled out the damage to rear quarter all sorted no visible signs of any damage i got offered £4000 a week after i bought it(the book back then was £4200) i kept it for 2 years and sold it for £2300 so a good deal to

Hey hey! That's my kind of economics!

i try to make money on every car i own lol,i had a mondeo 2.0 ghia x was in good nick but could see it was time to get shot off it book price was £700 so a guy asked me if i would swap it for a pug 406 7 seater and give him £500 after doing my homwork i said yes then he says brakes are shot on pug its going to cost£500 to sort he will get then done and add it on to price i said give me it the way it is,got the car and it was the rear abs ring(2 teeth broken) so i gave him my old car plus £300 so realy gave him £1000 all in sold it a year odds later for £2200

They definitely handle well. Iv only driven a company pool car some years ago now but i remember it being good. TDCI one too which had a nice bit of poke.

 

[pauldf1971]

the only dislike was the mpg it was the 1.8 and gave me the same returns as the v6 focus

You ever watch Top Gear with Tiff Nedel pushing one to the limit on the track much to Quentin Wilson and Jeremy Clarckson's wimpering he scares the poop out of them

My old Cougar :ihih:

I'm pretty sure I've seen that focus before... Can't place it though! And I'm pretty sure that's a collection kit rather then an RS kit

 

[pauldf1971]

collection it is same only different lol
theres a fewof them about but not many only ever spotted one the same in scotland

 

[commekid]

Can I ask if you find your cougar better than your focus?

 

[pauldf1971]

for a family car the focus is great boot space is limted and the fuel economy was the same as my cat,but its the best handling ford ive driven everything about it was spot on couldnt fault it but love the cougar to much to replace it with one
