In way better condition than mine, departed, left us in early August of last year :mellow: . It was only 283000kms old, so sad how i couldn't be with it until it reached 300 000km, but its in a better place now **cries, and hugs focus**

anyone wanna photoshop spinners on it, maybe when we get some plain steelies for the winter this year we will get some spinner hubcaps :lol:
Our's are polycast wheels, steel coated in rubber and plastic B)
It's weird to see just about everyone had a tempo our topaz at one time :D some were junk some were cool and reliable like this one, this thing is tuffer then bricks,can't kill it. Probably more reliabale then any focus ever built :P I just wish this one was a v6 5 speed

I cleaned them a bit but people drove it since then so, it's hard to keep those fuckers clean :(
I should make a thread on how much in repairs have everyone done since they had theier focus and this tempo would probably own all :lol:
