  1. Mine has 130ish K and 10 owners, and was stored (badly) for 5 years and still seems allright, but I'm getting those little niggles you always seem to get when you become the regular user of a car that's not been run regularly.
  2. That's all I can really say about the 1.6 focus, it's average. The drive is good, the engine just seem a bit boring. I had the 1.8TDCi, 122hp 220 lb/ft from my engine, good for the long motorway cruise
  3. I've had a van man leaning out of the window giving me thumbs up, certainly impressed the lady friend Other than that, a bunch of chavvy school kids went "waaaw look a kradah!", one of my friends does insist on calling it a scirocco though, I did call his Ibiza the tracksuited polo though...
  4. It's Blue Pearl, mainly, 3 slat front with a 16v badge on it, and on 17"s, I've seen the red VR going around Otley, you just twinged my memory there! It sounds pretty nice,
  5. I'm in for a doozy then, did 20k last year in my focus, but that bugger averaged 50mpg all day... The 'rado, well I'll be nice and say it averages a little less... What sort of mpg are most people getting? I think mine must be pretty bad, but I haven't done much motorway miles yet.
  6. 89 model WOW! Yeah def deserves something special. What model and colour you got? I see you're from leeds mate, may have seen you around Leeds. I see a few corrados round leeds but they never seem to be off here :( Im from Crossgates area.[/quote:34p3ha0f] Sorry it's a '90 model :( I'm a plonk and forgot how old I was I'm from Pudsey myself, but one of my friends lives in crossgates so I'm out and about there! I know there's 2 'rado's somewhere in harehills/roundhay, and 1 possibly in bradford (although rather misused sadly)
  7. Spotted 2 yesterday (09/04) 1st one in Harehills/Roundhay in Leeds, grey/blue looking VR6 with a VRG reg (I think...) approx 3pm parked on the roadside near the Archway Centre And one parked outside a convenience store on Eastleigh Road, Leeds was that deep blue colour, no idea on reg, approx 4:30 pm Anyone on here?

    I think mine had this done, along with some more bodging... I can get you some pictures later if that's any help?
  9. The shape! Bought it as a stop gap after my '53 plate focus got written off, and found one for a decent price so after an 80 mile journey I snapped it up! Figured I'd keep it as a stop gap/short term project but think it might turn into much more... It turns 21 at the end of may so I might have to treat it to something special! Loving the attention it gets though, even if it's not in terribly good condition
