New Focus ST

[Rich135]

Nowhere near as cool as some of the rides you guys and gals are into, but this is my new daily run-about.

I had to wait a couple of months for this colour, which doesn't look great in a blackberry photo, but I will try and take some nicer piccies at the weekend.

So far I am very happy, lots of performance, feels really well built, and corners a lot better than the Wrangler! Can't wait for it to get to 1,000km so I can open it up a little.

Cheers

Very nice, Mabrook, I do like that blue.

I was chatting to them o a mate who is thinking about a new motor, relative baragain aren't they about 95k?

[Rich135]

List price is 99k, but I managed to get a bit of discount, extended warranty and free insurance, so I think it definitely ticks the 'bargain' box. Compared to the UK price, you would be lucky to get in a 1.0l Focus for the same money!

Very nice, that's a hell of a lot of bang for the bucks

Nice choice - and good price for that car!

Mate, awesome colour. Best for that car and one on my favourites for many cars. Enjoy.

That is very nice, perfect colour. They do go well, don't they. Once had a little play with one in the jag.

[Rich135]

Thanks chaps, yes definitely the best colour, really sets it off.

Had a great weekend taking the kids out in it - they all approve 100% but I guess they would after being stuck in the back of my Jeep with the roof off for the last year.

Tucked up safely now while I visit Iraq for a few days - oh joy.

strange that a car that would stand out in the average uk street looks so out of place here!

nice colour and i hear the engine is a peach. mabrook!

PS - do you work for CRG?

[Rich135]

Yeah it is pretty peachy!

I do indeed detective Phil... how did you get that?!

[Rich135]

Time has come for me to move back to the UK, so my Focus ST and Expedition are up for sale.

Is there anything to stop me putting a sign in the car's window? I seem to recall they don't want you to do that in Dubai, but I hope I am wrong!

If anyone knows of anyone interested in either car, I would be grateful for any leads. Both going for around AED75k (each!).

Cheers

I've seen for sale signs in cars, prepare for a lot of 'last price' phonecalls though I'd imagine!

What's the mileage on the Focus?

Edit - Simple google via your profile is how Shirt found you, a mate's wife is a colleague of yours also

yes, you're very easy to find rich. i get CRG emails daily at the moment telling me to tie my shoe laces properly and beware of students and monks

[Rich135]

Oooh, you guys are good! Maybe you could get a job in our investigations department!

11,400 kms on the ST at the moment, booked in for it's second service tomorrow morning (and a good clean after the rain!).

Yeah I am dreading the 'last price' calls. So far I have just received polite texts!
