Default G'day all!

Hi all,

If you haven't read some of the posts lately, i picked up my new Focus XR5 Turbo on Saturday morning. After 3 days of brushing up on my manual driving, i love this thing!

Anyway, I'm guessing this is where i'll be hanging out more so i'll try to contribute knowledge where i can. I also have a LARGE knowledge base on Cougars and Mondeo XR5's so let me know if i can be of any help!

<3 my Ford

George

Cougar got traded! Needed alot of work to bring it up to roadworthy to sell privately, so in the end i went a got this one. Cougar was wrecking my back and needed something without the harsh ride of the Cougar, but with a bit of balls!

Took the Focus for a spin and loved it
