Expand Yeah… police were nearby as someone had been run over and there were road closures, this is why there was queueing traffic.. then whilst we’re waiting for ambulance (kid is ok thank fuck) another motorcycle goes into the back of a car further down the road towards the road closure 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Petrol for a nice 6 seconds 0-60 ☺️) Expand Likely got the same petrol lump in it that I've got in mine. Petrol 2.0L Does 0-60 in a little over 6s.

Gemmill 51094 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Went and signed for a new Focus yesterday, didn't I? The best of all cars. If it ain't broke don't fix it. Went automatic this time though. Should have done it ages ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The automatic is higher bhp on the Focus too, you'd be fumbling for the gears as I disappear over the horizon in my dodgem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prefer it to automatics which I've driven a fair bit as well. Feels like you have more control imo. All getting consigned to history soon enough with EVs anyway.
