Default Got my new Focus today!!!

Hey all.
Long time reader, first time poster here.

Just got back from my Ford dealer after picking up my brand new Focus!!! Got it as part of the runout deals that Ford have got going at the moment. And I must say, it is an amazing drive. Goes like the clappers with more torque than a group of cheerleaders. Transmission is slick as anything (it's a manual - wouldn't have it any other way!!) and overall, very happy with it.

Looking forward to catching up with everyone and going on a few cruises.

Well done edgecrusher!

It looks great.

Is that the black? (Hard to tell if it's black or blue in photos)


And great to see you got a manual......or as my old grandfather used to say..."a boy's licence not a girl's licence" (He was a cheeky old bugger!)

I'm based in the eastern suburbs, but now that I've got an awesome car, any reason to drive it is good enough!! Most of the time I don't even have a reason, just driving for driving's sake, which I reckon is reason enough :

It's the black. Best colour you can buy in my opinion. And your grandfather was a clever man!!!
