Finally got one

Hi Guys

Hope this is in the right section.

Got the V6 home today, looks the nuts in the sunshine i think its a fairly well known forum car. Only taken me 3 years to take the plunge just noticed my joined date lol!

First impressions are good, Front end feels a bit light on the motorway but all the weight is in the back so to be expected i guess ride is so smooth and comfortable. Not as fast as i remember but ive gotten used to my MK2 Focus RS which is a lot more track focused. Going to have some fun it this weekend and leave the focus to rest for a bit

I plan on keeping this and my RS a loooooong time.

Looks so much better on silver wheels! Can't fathom how people think grey/black wheels look better on the V6! Madness!

This the 10k Halifax one?

Congrats on the purchase mate, enjoy

Nice one!

The more you drive it the more you will love it.

Great buy Pete................lucky Man as you now have a pair of stunning motors.

Now, the RS - it's black but doesn't look matt black.............is it a peeled RS500 Focus, a wrapped RS Focus or is it just me :s

Nice one Pete. I presume you're not the chap from Halifax? Looks absolutely fantastic... Les hope the sun stays out!

I would get the toe angle checked. Mine used to be lethal at speed. [smilie=icon_eek.gif]

Cheers for the comments guys,

I cant take credit for the house that belongs to my parents, I run my company from their house saves me having to pay for premises etc the car will live with me in the Midlands, That is actually the back the front looks much better.

RS is white one with a black metalic wrap, 420 bhp 420 lb/ft torque steering hooligan lol!

Hopefully you should find a Pipercross Evo air filter on it too

Yep thats still in there sounds epic, IS it suposed to be any good? Theres some funky recaros going on too that im going to get trimmed with the renaultsport logo to make them look standard. I want to fiddle with it but i promised myself id keep it standard lol!

Awesome house even if its your parents.

Best colour for a V6, but then I would say that. Pipercross sounds amazing and I agree, a retrim would really set the car off
