I'd have gone for the Ford. There's something absolutely right about a car that yells "Fuck OFF" at the world. I'd have gone for the Ford as well. Ferrari is too girly, Zonda is too expensive and doesn't look that good. Zonda? You sure you're not a ladyboi? Speaking of which, he had some bloody balls to go on TG and admit to 9 points. Brave man, was talking bollocks about scameras though. It's not really the cameras I have a problem with - as like he said - you have to be a bit dumb not to notice them - just brake for them. Its the hidden vans that get you before you see that i dislike... |
Its the fookin Hidden Bastid Vans that get you too!!!!!!! (speaks from
experience )

sadly not an exclusive for me! i work next door to the dunton research centre for ford and i've seen 3 focus ST's already! Local polar ford dealer has new Focus ST demo car in. |
I'm tempted to ask for a test drive.
Should be a problem if I turn up in the Saab.

In article <zNednZOm66fkuhfeRVnyrQ (AT) pipex (DOT) net>, none (AT) none (DOT) com says... sadly not an exclusive for me! i work next door to the dunton research centre for ford and i've seen 3 focus ST's already! Local polar ford dealer has new Focus ST demo car in. Nice Mango orange with Orange and black Recaros. I'm tempted to ask for a test drive. Should be a problem if I turn up in the Saab. |
less of a nonsense than the Astra and the handling of the Focus is IMO
way better. So you start with a better base car. Rear view on the Focus
is also much improved over the Astra, which has a view through the rear
window that's as bad as that from the Lotus Europa - letterbox.
Focus has the Ovlov 5 cylinder motor which is decent to start with and
it has as much oommph as anyone would want in a front wheel drive car.

The only bit I don't like is the alloys, the look too much like TSW Venoms
for my liking, although they are more subtle on the ST.
Even the Orange colour looks nice, I would have liked to see more of the car
though, it seems Top Gear have forgotten about reviewing a car by showing
nice shots of the inside/engine/wheels etc, and now just rag the shit out of
it, too see how quick they can stove it, or blow it up.

On the few bits I saw it seems to have standard Focus interior. Not that |
prefer it to the interiors of the current Golf.
Interestingly I note the Telegraph stated that the Mondeo ST is the "the
best sports saloon of it's size" and they were comparing it with Beemers
in that statement. However they went on to say that blue badge snobbery
will ensure that depreciation stays high and numbers sold relatively
small. They predicted much the same for the Focus ST but I get a feeling
they could well be wrong.
