New Car

After spending the last couple of years blowing all my money on bikes, the house, camera gear and lager, I decided it was finally time to upgrade my ageing Escort GTI.

Whereas I could afford something pretty decent performance wise, I didn't want a money-eating car that was going to cost a fortune to run (Evo etc). So I've gone for a mixture of semi-decent performance (for a car), luxuries (read: gadgets) and age.

Enter this 2004 Ford Focus ST170, with 10k miles on the clock and the following extras:

Heated leather Recaros
Full climate control (over the usual aircon)
Heated front screen and mirrors
Xenon headlights
Electronic Stability Programme
6-CD indash changer with factory fitted sub
Metallic paint

That's around £3500 worth of extras from new, so it was just over £20,000 out of the factory and I've picked it up half price so I'm pretty chuffed.

My new cars coming along nicely.

I upgraded the front door speakers to 180w(30rms) kenwoods.
Brakes have been done, the thing actually stops quite well now.
The engine bay is totally spotless, few bits polished/repainted.

Still have to replace the rear speakers, and add 2 13cm speakers, and 2 6x9's on the rear shelf. dont think im going to worry about a sub, after all i want to enjoy my music, not force other people to listen to it Laughing

Other than that im going to keep it a tidy, standard looking car. Everything im doing can be put back to standard if i choose to sell it anyway.
