dtulip8 Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 One thing I’ve noticed with the Focus, what with them being ten a penny round here, is that it’s very easy to park next to another. Because I’m very sad, I quite like doing so. Please tell me I’m not the only one who does so! Also, in the middle pic there were no less than 7 1.6 Zetec’s but couldn’t get them all in shot lol!

Nick Y Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I did park next to another fiesta deliberately last week when I visited a friend in Whitby. It was the same colour (deep impact blue), same year (17) but the only difference was that it was an ST (or at least had the ST badging on it). A little lad walked past with his family and pointed out that the 2 cars were the same. Then, later that same day on the way home I stopped off at a viewpoint in the moors and there was another fiesta parked up in the viewpoint. Once again it was the same colour and same year as mine. I wouldn't say I do it deliberately but I do see a lot of fiestas driving around. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtulip8 Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 That's better than me. I'm yet to find an exactly identical. Version of my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 7x 1.6 Zetec's sounds like the most boring Ford meet ever... "So what do you drive? 1.6 Zetec, you? Yeah 1.6 Zetec. Oh I drive a 1.6 Zetec as well... Me too... And me..." 😁 Now I drive a mk3 I can't help but park next to others...they're everywhere! 😒 I try not to park next to silver ones any more after trying the wrong door handle twice in one week... 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtulip8 Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 It does doesn’t it! Only problem with the Focus in the UK is that there is no exclusivity factor whatsoever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol I have to agree. Went to a car show today (Just a general one where pretty much everything was welcome). I'd guess that 1/3 of it was Ford's, mostly ST's with the odd RS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan_Tango Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 I tend to try to park next to a another ST fiesta but nobody near me seems to have one 😞 So I settle for parking next to a ST Line that looks like it gets looked after since they're everywhere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Drebin Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 There's only one thing for it. I declare the HIGHLANDER PROTOCOL activated. If you see an identical model, you have to shout out of the window in a Scottish accent, "THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!!" as you pass the owner. In related news, the police obviously have no sense of humour. If someone could pay my bail, that would be swell. 😂 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have to shout it every five seconds though 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddyOS Posted June 11, 2018 Share Posted June 11, 2018 This would be fun, but although I see the same colour/trim I never see the same engine (always rear drums as not a 2.0 petrol!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zain611 Posted June 12, 2018 Share Posted June 12, 2018 Lol I try not to park next to anyone. Even if there is an expensive car I have to park next to I'd still worry if the owner is careless when walking between cars and opening their doors. I have consideration for both mine and other peoples cars. I've also just machine polished, sealed and waxed my car so will now be extra careful. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomsFocus Posted June 13, 2018 Share Posted June 13, 2018 I did this yesterday but wasn't quick enough to grab a pic before they left...parked next to another 2012 silver Focus Titanium 1.6TDCi...on the back of a breakdown truck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtulip8 Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 Technically this is parking opposite, and it’s a Style not a Zetec but I came back to this today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
