gold focus saloons - apm
For some reason, I can't stop seeing gold focus saloons. Not other colours, just gold. Three today alone! There are two for sale around here (Essex), and I saw another one driving along the A127. I'm beginning to be a little concerned that there is some kind of conspiracy at work, probably led by Adam...

Next it will be Silver Alfa Sportwagons and Blue Toyota Landcruisers.

It's serious Alex. You have Backroomitis.

Think yourself lucky - there's one 100 yards down my road which I have to pass twice daily at least in my (beige) Berlingo!

It didn't look 'alf bad.

Please tell me Adam that you don't actually photoraph them as well.

The later facelift on US spec models looks great.

No I don't photograph them PU! They're just what I found on Google.

Phil - they're American spec ones. If you notice, the bumper is very big too. On the hatches, the back bumper sticks out a fair way too.

The US "new" Focus is our old Focus apart from the interior, and the front. The back remains the same...and interesting! We could have done a whole lot worse.

IIRC the back has been updated too.

Havent I read somewhere that the Ford WRC team use a body shell from a US spec Focus because it is slightly bigger and stronger? (Maybe this was the old model).

I think it is simply that the US spec bumpers enabled the overall plan size of the WRC RS to be larger allowing more cooling better aero etc

I thought only the back bumper had been changed Cheddar.

The focus saloon always looks like it's been involved in a low-speed rear end shunt, probably by a lorry.

Cheers, SS
