Not short of a bob or two are you?..... ;) 350 BHP through the wrong wheels must be fun.

I work hard for my hard earned cash 8-)

But it puts the power down quite nicely i must say :D

I LIKE IT, Colour looks good, nice and sleek and not too in your face. Can i borrow it now Pls ;D :D ;D ;D
-
Nice looking motor, do they still use the 5 cylinder Volvo engine?
If I had 20-25k to spend on a car I think it would have 8 cylinders and be rwd.

i never buy ford yuk

they don't make much now that I'd want to buy, but they've been at the fore front of bringing technology to the masses over the years ...anti-slam doors, ABS as standard in a mass produced car ie Granada Scorpio

I love these, I saw an absolutely stunning green one the other day and I couldn't stop staring at it, fantastic looking and performing cars :y

I was recently talking to the manager of the local Ford dealer who said he could sell every one of the f*** off Orange & f*** off Green Focus he could get his hands on.

Oh, it's in yer face all right, goes with the car I suppose - I would definitely have one if I had the money :)
-
Sorry but the FWD bit puts me right off.

I'm not exactly sure which go-faster-Focus I went into combat against last year, but I think he must've wondered WTF as the ageing lard arse Omega was still in his rear view mirror at silly mph one Sunday evening.
(of course he was leaving me behind ........ but only just ;) ;) ;) ;). Fortunately for both of us Mr Plod wasn't around cos there was no excuse for our speed :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[ :-[)
-

Like wise, but life is such that FWD is here to stay & won't go away. ;) ;) it's certainly very forgiving.

Lovely car with great stance and presence .
Enjoy it ....... :y

Absolutely no idea what my next car will be
-
love it really 8-) motor....not too keen on the green or orange ones but looks lovely in white
-

Yep still using the 2.5 volvo engine....

Yeah true and i think Ford have got it just right with this front wheel drive system as there is very little torque steer and the grip is excellent.
I had a drive in a ST-3 a while ago and this was a different beast :y

To be honest Andy my 3.2 is no slouch even with it being auto
I love the Omega still and drive it everyday as the focus is more of an investment.... look at the Ford Sierra RS500 they are changing hands now for £40,000.
The omega is still a very fast and comfy car although a little floaty round the bends ;D but that will be sorted shortly with uprated springs and shocks, but on a whole i would not part with it period 8-)

Tried to get a white one with the lux 1 and 2 packs on it but could not find one for the right money at the time :y

Most likely an ST170 or the ST-3 (200bhp) if you were 'just' keeping up with it!
The mechanic who does my cars has the ST-3 in Orange, a quick trip to Mountune for a re-map and its putting out the same BHP as the standard RS, even in standard form it gave my V6 Signum - which is considerably lighter than an Omega - a proper pasting
Seriously quick car but not fun in the wet!!
Do like the RS however i have heard they do tend to rip the manifold out of the block fairly often! :)

Ermmmmmmm :'(
will keep an eye on this issue then :y
-
i would keep an eye in the rear view mirror as well as mr plod drives them now...i likey though :y
-
Gotta love the RS :y im a blue oval man at heart
-
I love your choice of car there mate :y
Not sure if after 20 years like the RS500 it will be worth 40 grand though. . I only ever saw 3 on the road :( :o thing is even 20 years on they are an awesome car, ford had some lovely cars at that time in my opinion :y

i never buy ford yuk
they don't make much now that I'd want to buy, but they've been at the fore front of bringing technology to the masses over the years ...anti-slam doors, ABS as standard in a mass produced car ie Granada Scorpio
Not to mention heated front screens(in the Escort!); something every car should have. Granada/Scorpio is a damn good car even with the rather poor 12v engines and chocolate autobox.

Becming more standard now... but if memory serves, ford held the patent on that one up until recently so nobody could use it

ford did not hold the patent on heated front screens and they werent the first to offer it on a prodution vehicle,saab and volvo have used heated front screens on there home market vehicles for some years be for ford started.

Nice car. Are the LEDs an add on or are they std? Had one till 2 months ago and that did not have DRLs. One of the very early models with Lux pack 2.
Sold it because I hated the bone jarring ride quality. Fine as a weekend car, terrible as a daily driver, which is what I was using it as. Also for the price the interior was quite poor, the seats bolsters would crash against your legs and hurt every time you tried climbing in or our of the car. And Ford service was the worst I have ever experienced in my life. I did however love the noise it made and the acceleration. I dont think any Omega could keep up with it.
