My Focus Did It!!

[Bailes1992]

Haha
In Holmfirth (Last Of The Summer Wine land)
230+ miles, 65-70mph all the way and 44mpg.
Bit of steering shudder with the nackered steering rack but overall I'm impressed
The accelerator is very awkward so after 230 mile my right foot knew I'd done 230 mile.
Blackpool tommorow, home Wednesday

I reckon Betsy will be fine

[ToddM]

Well.. I bet Bernard would've done better

[lozz]

glad you had a safe journey

youve missed all the sunshine tho its going to piss down

[Bailes1992]

I reckon ST170 pedals, get some nicer seats along with cruise control and a new steering rack and she'd make a nice motorway bruiser

[Bailes1992]

Another 160 miles today, not a murmer!
Don't know what I was worried about
230 miles home tommorow and I reckon she'll take it in her stridr

Yup what was You worryin about,
its a ford they get to A-B no problems,

peugeot gets too A-B alot Cheaper tho,

[sirwiggum]

My Ford got A-B, but it was getting it started at A was the problem, and getting to B without a fuel guage and realising all of the right hand lights were no longer working.

[Bailes1992]

Well I'm home

Not one issue, not even the steering rack

Awesome!

[highlander]

Isn't it slightly worrying that you find it impressive that your car got you from A to B...?

[lozz]

all fords are worrying ,
its like having the fuel light come on and your 100s of miles away from a petrol station,

will it get me there

[Bailes1992]

The car has never been out of Wales since be bought it 8 years ago brand new.
t's got 80,000 miles for start stop driving.
It's steering rack is absolutley nackered.
So yes I am very supprised

[FarmerPug]

its like the lancia beta then, it wins the challenge because it getting there was the most suprising.

[lozz]

Bailes anyone wouid think u didnt get out much.

which Asylum are you from btw

[sirwiggum]

There was a review of the new Focus on The Register yesterday.

It has vanes in the lower grille that open up to let air at the engine.

I can imagine when they break, and no air gets at the engine, it'll make a MAF failure look like a slight hiccup.
