Finally picked up my new car last wednesday after waiting what seemed like forever due to a private plate transfer....









I have to say I love it so far, goes like a gooden after 4k revs.... Not listened to the radio yet, i just love the 5 pot engine!

Whoever owned it before me has painted the calipers, but apart from that its standard.... at the minute! I was going to re-paint them, but they've been painted really well and I just think the red will eventually show through again, so may leave them, their growing on me if I'm being honest...

love it

it's a rare colour on a focus st. only ever seen 1 facelift and a couple pre-facelifts in sea grey.

my car has near enough the same mileage as that one guess the bloke didn't drive it much.

get some eibachs on her to tranform the handling (plus looks better), but i'm sure you'll have plenty of fun listening to the gorgeous 5 pot engine on full chat. it's a great sound.

2nd Hand i think its a 08 reg, Silver.
It's just been sent to the local Arnold Clark from Aberdeen but it's getting some paint work then it's theirs.

Will do

Its sea grey, so like a gunmetal grey colour... I picked it up for £12995, but its got a years warrenty left and has only 12k on it so I thought it was a fair amount of car for the money!

He's just got it tonight and came round, couldn't get any pics because it was abit dark

But fuck me it goes! It doesnt feel it but when we looked at the clock going down a bypass it was around 130-140

Its a 08 ST2, think it was 17-18K

Nice, they blend into the background quite well in that colour. I've seen a few ST's round this way in that colour, one of them is an ST500.

Folowed one half way home today which to begin with I didn't think was a real ST because the badge was wonky (had been moved lower down) and had TURBO one side and a 3 next to the ST badge. Looked it up on DVLA and blow me down - "Cylinder Capacity (cc) 2521CC "

Anyway, back on topic, cracking motor

Numberwang!
