Went For A Drive... - COCHYN - 02-05-2008

Since I fitted the Group A, I thought I'd give the car a bit of a run up different temperatures. And living where I do, it has everything to test your car's drivability, suspension setup and skill.

So here's a few stop I made in Ogwen, Snowdon, which is about 4 miles away from where I live. Not much snow up here yet, but its very cold and it'll probably be covered by tonight.

Enjoy...

you're right..........they are better looking then yours :P


Went For A Drive... - COCHYN - 02-06-2008

I hope you mean "ugh" that the wheels are nice, because anything else would make you look ridiculous, these are 6 spoke compomotives, the cult motorsport wheel of choice. Even if you don't like the style, it doesn't matter. These are the wheels used on the company cars of massive tuners in Europe ;)


Went For A Drive... - NikiterZTS - 02-06-2008

Nate probably didn't like the color theam.......bright white with black


Went For A Drive... - COCHYN - 02-06-2008

That's weird, its a black car with white wheels, isn't that normal scheme. Please don't tell me he's one of these people who prefer gold wheels on a black car! :lol:

Here's the mag feature from the thrash I did...

To each thier own....and no I don't like gold wheels either.

Quote:I hope you mean "ugh" that the wheels are nice

Negative. :lol:

Its a nice car with a serious powerplant, I just dont like the wheels. You probaly wouldnt like mine.

Take it easy. I know your in magazines, and your car is the s*** to you. Relax.

Not to me mate, but to the people that matter ;)


Went For A Drive... - NefCanuck - 02-06-2008

Wonderful scenery (and the car is nothing to sneeze at either ;))

Yours is one of the Focus' on here that really makes me wish I could drive a manual :(

Don't worry Flo you're not alone with your thoughts, has always rubbed me the wrong way too. Much like the attempt to lecture us on the sunject of "winter". :rolleyes:

To think everyone here always thought ME to be FC's most pompous member! :lol:


Went For A Drive... - naz - 02-06-2008

those wheels look heavy? and compomotive is an expensive brand? what am i missing? aren't expensive wheels for road use supposed to be stupidly light?

nice car though!


Went For A Drive... - COCHYN - 02-06-2008

Yes they are very light ;)
