Arden blue is the most common colour, fact. Apparently the red is usually ordered by females too.

Blue looks the best thats why.
Red is a free paint.

Silver, IMO just looks like a standard astra, not keen at all. Same with black.

Blue or red, or white (Nurb only) ftw.

Average 27mpg over 30k miles.
260-300 miles per tank (52l)
110 miles on a track day (GULP)
20k or 1 year service.

Not had a single issue at all, but £12k for a 55 plate car is too much.

RE age, there was a guy who had over 300bhp and he was like 19 (rich daddy though).

Generally yes, a new idea a week. Never follow it through!!

The thinking behind a focus was its quick & being a yr old will have warranty & not need much done to it other than petrol & insurance during ownership!

Actually this week im thinkig I might just run my golf into the hills, as its worth virtually fuck all with its spaceship miles mid credit crunch, concentrate on paying off my other big loan (house) then get a new car in 2yrs!!

Wonder what it will be next week

If you have the car in Spring next year I'll throw a wad of notes your way

Can do with a comfy thing for work, and a V8 to wrap around a tree
