Update,
Sold the 170 and bought this.
Recently did Adelaide to Canberra to Bowral and back.
Locusts were a problem, hence the custom netting and taping.

Nah, not into "rice racers" mate.. I am more of a VIP'er and Pickup kind of guy.. My last car was a Lexus..

Anyway. The plan on returning to Aus, we will eventually need two cars. I am however waiting in anticipation for the new 2011 Ford Ranger to be released. And so until then, I have always wanted to get a Focus to play with and then give it to the wife when the Ranger is available..

I plan to have them both either white with blue racing stripes. Or silver with black to match each other in the driveway... Still thinking on the colour though...

Nice Zetec you've got there Russ.

Mine is a manual too, although no leather here. Mine is an '09 build so no Sony head unit either.

Did you get it on the current runout sale?

Cheers everyone. Yeah I really like the carbon fibre look and the plastics all feel very good, solid and nicely finished. A couple of mods on the way soon, I'll post a few new pics then,

I don't think it's real carbon fibre but it looks and feels pretty good quality. Shouldn't mark like the painted surfaces at least

Yeah I work down that way, was actually there yesterday picking up some oil and a filter.

I like the white Zetec with the leather, that's a bargain at that price.

I'm a big fan of white cars, just my personal preference. I spoke with several dealers trying to negotiate and get a white one with leather, they all told me the same story, white no leather or white and leather but auto :( If it had have been the 6 speed powershift I might have considered it. Anyway I spoke with a dealer in Campbelltown and the story was the same, he asked if I'd rung around any dealers, which I had all except for Harrigan's, I made the call, told the sales guy what I was after and he takes a walk out to the lot and within a few minutes he says he has exactly what I'm after 2011 model Zetec, white, manual with leather. After I picked myself up off the floor, I asked if he could put a hold on it for me and I would be up in a few hours (from down the coast about 2hrs or so away) Arrived at the yard, took it for a good drive for about 20mins and came back and put a deposit on it. Very lucky to get it and the price was a bonus
