The Yellow Peril

One car; 650+ miles in two days… why are they attracted to a yellow car!?

Happy Father’s Day! This month saw an earlier date (the last weekend of the month will see Epsom Downs taken over with Race for Life-rs) and fortunately the weather held for another glorious day! We seem to have been infiltrated with baby focus’ this meet…

The focusowners.com stickers, of course!

Now Phoebe (mk II focus) is mine - no longer a company car - I can let the modding begin!

And what better place to start? Tints, of course!!

One quick visit to the ever-professional guys in South Woodham Ferrers (just past Wickford) under the watchful eye of Terry - soon put me right.  Thanks a lot, guys - she looks great!

Alas! The time has come for me to part with Ruby after 3 years ownership.  Not once has she let me down and been a real load of fun to own and drive!

Over the years I have “made her mine” by adding a full EGR kit, 17″ Wolfrace ProSprint alloys, lots of engine bling and more besides.  I am asking £1,500 for the car, which is a steal! What do you get for so little?
