Hi guys,


This is not so much a "new member" introduction as a "hello again".

I've not posted for a while after an accident left my 56 plate Zetec leaking oil (and parts) at the side of the road, eventually being written off :unsure:


As a stop gap, I bought an Astra (I'm sorry, I know it's wrong). Never ever again, what an awful car it was. Uncomfy, noisy, useless, slowly breaking and did not make me at all happy.


After 2 months, I couldn't abide it and I bought what is my 3rd Focus (see below). Happy times have resumed :D

It's a 57 plate Zetec Climate and is new enough to have the Sony stereo whilst still being a Mk2.

As usual, I have plenty of ideas for stuff to do to it (not all sanctioned by her indoors) but I'm ambitious if anything.

Keep an eye out, I'll post as many of the changes as I can on here so you can comment - and judge me - hopefully you will all like.


So excited to be back,


Mike


p.s. I left a pic of my new friend below
