          Interesting Ford Focus

          Driven last night had a test of the WRC Ford Focus. Pretty amazing stats: 0-60 2.5 secs, 300bhp 2ltr and stopping distance from 60 was one third the distance of the normal Focus. Guess thats why it costs 600K USD and can't be serviced by you local Ford dealer.

          Wow, I wonder how can 300 horses fit into a Focus !

          Get one and put the TDCI badge in the trunk.

          John,

          I heard you can buy them from the factory (after a season and some serious abuse I guess - although maintained regardless of cost) - c.£150K - every fancied being a rally driver ?

          I've heard/read the same, 150-200k gets a serious car, but it may need a few things doing to it when you get it home.
