Hi guys n gals,

Apears there might be a 2005 New Focus there, but I'll have my trusty old beast along for the ride, anyone interested at the last minute, it'll be a huge but nevertheless good day!! I only just saw it and signed up. We need more Foci and Fiesta and certainly some Mondeos!!

I'd love to go, but I'm starting to wonder if my Escort will ever be ready for a cruise like that, damn over 20 year old electrics and engine parts... :(

Not just any 20 yr old electrics, 20 yr old electrics by Lucas!! Prince of Darkness!!!

My whole Escort will be completely re wired, heh.

Looks like a great day out, heaps of cars going!

Well said, particularly in my case, which is that the electrical problems usually lead to lights not working, currently the problem is that only the parking lights work, no normal headlights or high beams and the dash lights also don't want to work - so no driving at all at night. Prince of darkness is spot on!

That is one of the reasons I chose that new pic as my avatar, it's a bit of a joke at my own expense

hey ppl, i just recently signed up and im keen to meet some other focus drivers (i drive an st170) hopefully il be able to make it to that big cruise down the great ocean road, my car loves that winding road. i was looking at the list of cars goin and there arent many euro fords there, all the local 8s and 6turbos, need to get more 4s down there and show em the power of duratec!

zetec · 03-06-2005, 11:37 PM

The power of Zetec actually... you've got a zetec block with Duratecd heads... the power is always in the block ;) He he he...

Great to have you along! Please check out www.eurofordclub.com and have a look at the club members nationally or by state, I'm looking forward to hopefully meeting you on Sunday!!! There's a good history of our cruises in both NSW and Vic and you can see what kinds of htings we get up to!! We're a young but absolutely awesome club, great members and even greater cruises. This cruise is a fordforums cruise, but me being the cruise whore, I joined in. In truth, it's more about me secretly hoping I can shame a few BA's, but that will be proven on the day (and hopefully not proven against me!!). Eurofords welcome, looks like there'll be about 4 Foci going, including possibly a NEW Focus by the looks of it, appears there might be another Ford employee going apart from myself.

Cheers,
Matt

Looks like this cruise will be a good one, enjoy it guys.

We're just not telling the boss. :dr_Evil:

Good pick up. I don't know anything about the cruise but the thread linked to in this one says the 5th, so it's changed. Cheers.
