Title: I'm having a Mid Life Crisis
Post by: Del Boy on 31 July 2012, 22:40:17
I want a Focus RS, I took my mates out today, it Torque steers like a pig (Handy for going around right handed bends, because it was constantly going right), however, the noise, and the noise, the power for a Focus!, and the noise  :-* :-* :-*.

Not that you noted the reg or anything  ;D
I'm equally as sad, I know most of the registrations of local police vehicles.

Focus RS - A bit chav looking, but as you say, the engine more than makes up for that.
How about a proper mid life crisis vehicle, some oddball american thing? Ford F-150 lightning  ::)

That's another one then I hadn't seen, keep an eye out for the Silver KN54 YDP, that's a proper sneaky bugger, it got strobes at the top of the grill which aren't easily visible.

You have to note these things Josh ;D ;D.

Just before we stopped doing Police jobs, I got a call to pick up a stolen car.

When I arrived on scene, the car was obvious, but it looked like there was no-one with it. Just as I was about to get on the phone and have a moan about there being no keys with it, a couple of armed officers got out of a completely unmarked X5 to do the paperwork.  Kent Police have all sorts of toys that you wouldn't expect!

Yeah I know they had a green and a blue one before, both 07/57 plates I believe.

I'm having a MLC too, Del. But I'd prefer a nice TVR Griffith 500 complete with a moist nineteen year old dolly bird in the passenger seat. :-* :-* :-*

I could never bring myself to ever own another Focus. The biggest heap of junk I've ever driven...  ...and I've driven some old school BL stuff ;D

Of course, the RS has a better engine, but the chassis is still unpredictable.


I swore I'd never drive another Focus. Imagine my shock when I just looked at the details for a forthcoming holiday  :'(
