cheers for that mark :D

black imo, the rest will suffer terribly with the mismatch of the bumper/bodywork colour

go on, tell me :D

haha, cheers for the posts, i like the sound of it - need to find a place to drive one now.... :D

My god! I thought they weren't test driving until next year :evil: Any chance of an indepth writeup? u must have some negatives to talk about/// :D

that focus rocks, they should have used those on the ST220

I must say those new passats look great, a nice choice for your current needs - have fun :D

u can get an st2 for £14.8k, try this thread for info: http://www.ffoc.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.p ... highlight=

cheers for that, yeah, im with u there, ST2 is the one to have; £14,888.... :drinking: that's a whole lot of motor and kit for that money

£14k! it gets better, I am very tempted at that price, whats the diff between ST1/2/3 and then?

thats a crazy price

as far as cars and ireland is concerned it sucks, i applaude those living there to actually have modified cars, they must a) earn a mint, b) not declare, c) erm, something involving money

the 1.8 petty doesn't match the 2.0 tdci, but imo it is better than the 1.6tD; smoother delivery of power and generally a nicer drive, after having driven both almost back to back - but the cmax overall is an * * * * happy motor, pretty bloody squirmy on hard braking, not as controlled as the mk1/1.5 focus, tho i may be misreading disc/disc versus disc/drum in this comparison

"It will also arrive just in time to rival the Astra SRi Turbo from Holden, which like the XR5 is a European import and should be great competition." I'm guessing the Astra SRi turbo is the VXR then, they do like their 'turbo' branding - can't find any XR5-Turbo badges

no

welcome! :)

stolen?

i thought that was a photoshop, back to frauds me thinks

is it still using the ghey MTX box?

i can live with that

wow, doesn't colour make a difference, it looks sh't in that boring state blue - but ok in the orange and rs blue; and it should definitely only be made in 3 doors ------- overall it doesn't look that much different from a titanuim model, and the rims look crap in that pic too, kinda like the old venoms u see on roy bacer cars..... yeah definitely not for me!

oh p'ssoff ( :) ), if u haven't found a decent price for them since 2004, it's a losing battle :wink:

i see the pruning is working well :lol: nah, normal focus, not one of these gold plated c-maxs

I got my fronts from aldi @ £2.49, not just refills either Maybe they got flustered when you stepped off your time machine :lol:

as said previous, do u think the previous st's failure was due to fords infancy in high revvin' main stream engines? name another... --- since the new st features a proven engine, maybe problems will be less wide spread, but i do understand new models often feature new problems - time will tell i guess
