I like the Focus ST, wasnt a fan to start with but they have definately grown on me. Couldnt afford one, probably couldnt ever. But even if i could im not sure it would be my first choice. Kind of a contradiction there but yeah, i do like em.

Yeah it's petrol. I like buying cars for the more expensive fuel, I have a good habit of it.

Admiral have said it will cost me an extra £236 for the rest of the year (cover until Jan 2010).

Also looking at getting it modified to 260BHP, Ford approved parts so insurance generally only goes up £100 or so for the year.

What are you talking about. Oz has the Mondeo with a V8 engine, get one of them. Got £9,800 for it in the end, which was a little more than I was expecting.

Picking up the new car tomorrow :mrgreen: Going to be sitting in work all day waiting for the clock to hit 17:00 then bam, I'm outta here.

Go for a test drive in an ST then say that.

Since I went for the test drive in the ST, the Mondeo felt like absolute shit. Handling, lack of power, braking. Don't get me wrong I loved Mindy (my boss called her Mindy Mondeo :lol: ), but it just wasn't to be. Being able to do 30 to 150mph all in 6th gear with power at your foot constantly from 30 is something the Mondeo will never have.

The Mondeo got even worse when I took the bluefin off, it surprising how much the bluefin improves it.
