Congrats!!!!!!!
Wow, what a difference. And this coming from the person that ALWAYS stuck by the Focus, especially backing up it that it was Auto and a great ride... then jumping into a massive V8! So, what is the fuel consumption like? I'm still slightly shocked - congrats on the new machinery and can't wait to see some pics soon! I bet you love that V8 burble on start up... :eclipsee_

Fuel consumption is a HELL of a lot better than I expected. Actually quite liveable. I know what you mean about me and the focus, and i still dont believe it was/is a bad car. But when the oppotunity to do this came up, I didnt have to be asked twice. And I am so happy I did it.

She's a right beast too, although still no match for the manual Zetec. Smoked you TWICE mate, inclunding both off the lights AND a rolling start from 40km/h.
Bloody autos : But yum... what a machine. I know youll love it to death too, couldn't have found a better home. Thanks for the weekend, and for letting me take it for a quick spin, what a beauty!

Already on the defensive... got something to prove? too much wheelspin means too little talent... especially with an auto! j/k
