Default Car of the Month Announcement thread

Hey guys,
All future EuroFord Club COTM announcements will go in this thread, to keep from cluttering up the board.
I had a bit of a tech hiccup in June, but rest assured that I will keep doing these features as long as we have members willing to contribute.

Speaking of which, who amongst you DOESN'T drive a Focus? Just want to get a little variety in the COTM feature. So far (since 2006) we've featured 2 Cougars, an Escort, 2 Fiestas and FIVE Foci.

Tech issues prevented our July COTM feature from being released on time, but here it is now. Congrats to Simon (Velociraptor), whose LS Focus Zetec is our COTM for July!

Hi guys, sorry for the long delay. My youngest daughter was diagnosed with leukaemia last month and has been in hospital for chemotherapy over the last few weeks.
Understandably some things have fallen by the wayside.

OK, it' s been six months since my youngest daughter started chemo for her leukaemia, and she's doing very well.

Next week will be (if all goes well) her final round of chemo treatments, just in time for her 2nd birthday. Hopefully our family life will be back to normal soon after that.

Fingers and toes crossed, and I promise to resume the Car of the Month feature as soon as I'm able.
