    Looks like a good day. Got the Insignia one at Rother Valley next week. Can't wait. Hope the weather is nice....a few brollies up on your pics. Was it chilly too?

    I can't look at a Capri or Escort RS without humming the Professionals theme

          Looks like nice weather for it. Had our meeting a Rother valley on Sunday and it was a bit chilly. Still a great day though. I wish there were more of them. They're over in a flash once they come around.

              Yeah that would be good. July before the kids break off so there's less chance members will have gone away on holiday.

                So guess what... I have sold the Focus

                Amazing car, one of the best I have ever owned but my needs changed. I only do like 45 miles a week now so the need for a diesel has gone plus I want to start going on track more when I go to all the car shows at Castle Combe throughout the year. Took the Focus out on track but I dont know if its because its a diesel or not but it never felt like it enjoyed it so to speak. Plus I was always worried someone would hit me and smash it up. If I crashed it fine, it was my choice to take it on track but I was always worried someone else would hit it haha!

                Any way its replacement... Managed to trade the Focus against it and get £3.5k cash back my way. This one has done less miles and got all of the same toys too. The only thing this doesn't have that the Focus did is rear doors

                Fantastic car to drive! I can totally see why reviewers love them! Puts such a smile on your face and goes very well too!

                  You change your cars like I change my socks!

                  Lovely colour! I'm not mad on smaller cars but I do like the Fiesta. Out of the cars at work it's the one I prefer to drive...It's no ST though

                    hahaha hopefully this one will be a keeper... who knows

                    I got plans for this one for the start of next year though! Going to make it a little pocket rocket. Planning on 240bhp.. Thats all the standard turbo can flow haha

                    It still does 40mpg if driven properly (20mpg if driven hard) and I have gone to Liverpool and back in it already and it is as composed as a big car I feel. I love it

                      Well the focus didn't last long. Lol
                      Diesels are suited for the road not the race track. For the track you need a high revving engine like the Vtec Hondas to make it fun.

                          haha it didnt mate no! Bloody fantastic car though!

                          A mate of mine has an Integra Type R. Its a Jap Import and is a proper Mugen built car. Thats awesome fair play!

                          The Fiesta is amazing on track. Pumaspeed have a 390bhp one on a standard engine and they handle like they are on rails. Mine wont be going on track all the time. I go to 5 shows a year. Will probably go on track maybe 3 times haha

                          Puts a huge smile on your face the Fiesta.

                              it's not that bad driving normally to be honest. I have got 48mpg average on a run. Giving it a hammering it uses a bit mind

                                That sounds alright.
