Default Picked up Focus today.

Picked up my girlfriends focus today (late 05' LX) I am so impressed with it had a fair drive home it was a good chance to get a proper feel for it and I absolutely loved it. Almost drives a man to get rid of his V8 for one.

Ha ha congrats on the pick up! They're awesome cars to drive. If you are insterested and have some spare time, drive a Focus XR5 Turbo. If that doesn't make you sell your V8, you never will!!!
