tomsy Posted July 31, 2013 Author Share Posted July 31, 2013 Not sure my car will stand out amongst all the cossies and focus rs's and all the other metal that will be on display but it puts a smile on my face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybo Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 the fact that it isnt a cosworth or a.focus rs/st is enough to make it stand out to me i hate the long lines of largely identical focus st/rs that clog up the shows evrry year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guarantee yours will have a crowd round it!! .Regards Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothin' more boring than, like last year, a line of 50 near enough identical focus rs's! I just bypass them as there's nothin' to actually look at lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsy Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Get your point lads i thought it was quite impressive seeing 50 mk1 focus rs's all lined up but it didn't make me want to go and look at each one individually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer the home built jobbies. 3 Years on the driveway and all that. The problem with the likes of sierra 3 doors, they are almost identical bar wheel choice! Bring back the good ol built not bought features Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
