ive seen a Blue ST170 getting around Ringwood a few times...
best was when i saw 4 of them in the backstreets near my house (park orchards/donvale), i was in my old peugeot following :P

saw a nice XR4 (white with blue) on springvale road, gave it a booting going onto renoylds road, so did you... but it looked like you went home when you turned down that side street :(

no one will be seeing my XR4 anytime soon unless they are very lucky! 6month loss of license will only see my car out with the girlfriend behind the wheel.

Me??

Sorry to hear about your license mate. Must be hard knowing you've got that little beast in the garage but can't drive it!!
My mate's got a Black XR4 with the grey stripes. Not bad, but he's yet to let me take it for a spin :

Was there a LT Focus involved in a car-chase in Geelong yesterday? I thought I saw a segment on the Sydney news yesterday.

Think it may have been a black XR5.


News corporation had some REAL news though!!!

"About 10 minutes earlier police had abandoned a pursuit of the black
Ford Festiva when the speed reached up to 170km/h."


http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/sto...09-661,00.html

Festiva doing 170kmh! I'd like to see that!!!

Nah it was a Zetec. Could tell by the rims. They're the new LT Zetecs. At least now I know my focus can do 170km/h!
lol Festiva. Definitely find that a bit hard to believe

Saw a silver Cougar SX driving past the Ringwood Bypass around the new Eastlink freeway on Wednesday night. They have a beautiful rear end ( : ) when the lights are on. Actually makes it look like a cat!!!

Then saw a Mondeo XR5 Turbo turning onto Burwood Highway from Mountain Highway heading to uni this morning. Had to stop and look, before getting beeped to move up to the car in front of me

Still not 170 : hehe. Nah but that's pretty good effort. Did your husband do something to make him try and get away that quickly ?
I have no doubt that the XR4 would be able to make it to 170, probably faster than a focus if they were both stock.
