Default A day of developments......

Well guys, I am sorry to say that it looks like my very short involvement in the eurofordclub is coming to an end soon.

I have decided to put the focus up for sale as of tomorrow, and I will be moving up to something a little different, but more importantly, with a LOT more go.

The Focus has been very good to me in the short time I have had it, it has had more than its fair share of dramas but at the end of the day thats part and parcel of owning a car. Overall it has been a reliable little worker, and a good looker too. Id recommend an LR Focus to anybody after having one myself.

I am looking at around $13k for it, does that sound like a fair price?

Nah it craps on a Golf GTi for fun. But it's not quite as fast as a GTi. But only just "quite".
