A Last Goodbye And A First Look At The New Ride
#1
I just thought I'd post this - one of the last pics I've taken of the S2 sedan.

I just wanna say thanks to everyone who helped me make the econo-version of the Focus fun to drive :) I always forget names, but you know who you are. A special shout-out to Hardk0re for all the major pieces in the S2 conversion. :)

A proper introduction to the car - washed and all!

I can't take credit for the cleanliness - the body shop cleaned 'er up real good. I had to get the rear passenger door re-hung and to get the passenger rear quarter window re-mounted... it wasn't quite right. I'm happy with how quick they had it done (half a day) and to top it off they washed it and threw some Christmas treats on the front passenger seat.

Two thumbs up for Stockfish Ford's bodyshop.

Glad you liked it, and that you are gonna get another one...

Wonder if the folks there would know who you were talking about...if you mentioned that you know this guy in the Army with a Black Focus who was up there looking to make a deal not too long ago...lol...

Good luck

Hope you get as much enjoyment out of the new one that you got out of the old one.

Just a word of advice, keep the nites*** away from the new focus.

Hardly...

I'm next in line since I have the only oddball focus sedan with a Hatch's colourings, and it's European looking... after all he was copying a Street Edition, when I have the real thing! :lol:
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

talk about setup of the century for the politically incorrect... but since I've already filled my quotient with a comment to a buddy about his fiancee's alopecia (made in jest, but still....), I respectfully withhold my reply.

meford?

Dear God, what have I started? :blink: :lol:

'sides whoever is "King" has to deal with everyone else trying to knock them off the top of the heap. While the view from the top is great, the fall from the top hurts like a mofo :D

I'll just zip along with my red rollerskate thanks, it isn't as flashy as most of the other sedans on this site (Aw hell, who am I kidding, short of someone here with a bone stock Focus sedan I'm dullsville) but I can announce my presence as I see fit :P

I was a tad sad (sorta) as we pulled out of the dealer about an hour ago - I looked over and saw them taking the car to the used side. :(

On the bright side, the Duratec noise and the heated seats cheered me up in no time. And the sound system isn't as bad as I thought. :) Pics to come shortly.

No idea. All I know is I got a decent amount for it.

I was going to post a pic, but I looked like a total moron in it.

I'll take a better one later of just the car and post it tonight.

The King himself should produce a predecessor. So at this point in time, I'll let NOS think about who is going to be the next King.
And if he picks Oscar well that's just BS and we'll start a poll.

Let the new enemy be a tough one who doesn't cry like a baby when I lay the smack down on them!
