Seems we both missed something. My entirely innocent comment on how everyone stalls a manual at some point has been deleted too. - - - Updated - - - Right, Monday morning. Performed my research on both cars. Made 2 calls for viewings. Now to go check em out. Hopefully I'll own one of them by the end of them day. - - - Updated - - - Buying the ford
I saw what happened, it wasn't anything particularly crazy but there was a harsh insult from someone. I won't say who it was but it was a terrible low blow and they should be ashamed.
This is what happend this morning near my school. This Porsche Cayenne's headlights have been stolen. Isn't there some kind of security bolts or something to protect car parts from such an expensive car to be stolen?
But wait . People in your school have porsches ? OT : I dunno , maybe yes but maybe the person who stole it have advanced equipment .
Nah, mate. They don't have Porsches. The car was just parked there. It probably happened during the night or early in the morning. From what I read on the internet it turns out that Porsche's headlights are perfect to grow marijuana.
Normally can't get the headlights out without at least opening the hood, some cars need to remove grill, fascia or bumper too. Anyway. Now the owner of a ford focus ghia estate with the 1.8 16v petrol engine. Thing drives very nicely and quite importantly has a button to disable TCS/ESC, not that it needs either.
It turns out that writing "MOVE OVER ---->" at the top of your windshield, in reverse, in super ghetto paint pen doesn't cause turtles to realize you're not honking and flashing your lights just to say hi.
@post 234, well yeah, but aside dead turtles, they look really interesting squished flat as tarmac. pick'em up, dust'em off, taxidermist time.
1.8l in wet plus lead footing it = nice brightly lit TCS indicator on dash. Much fun. Much wow. Must try again with TCS off some time.
it has been confirmed, tcs *on*, dry tarmac, still able to make tyres break loose briefly. Off is even better. Still not full blown burnouts or anything, but a significant improvement over the corsa that with no traction control didnt want to break loose on fucking gravel, wet tarmac and heaven forbid dry tarmac.
Smoking that poor Ford, lol. Guess you have to feed it some fuel sometimes. My ride needs new tires. TCS, ECU, Anti-lock braking over sharp gravel turns from tarmac on tarmac tires makes me feel as if on blackice. Weird though that when it is over I still feel safer.
ABS on loose surface is actually less effective than no ABS at all. Mostly I'm conservative with the throttle in the ford, my wallet does end eventually - - - Updated - - - Took all 3 sisters and brother to maccas. Discovered that a) 5 people fit in my focus more comfortably than stepdads bmw or mums rav4 (therefore disproving the need of big old crossovers for family usage) and b) leaving the sketchy exit onto the motorway of my nearest McDonalds is alot easier with 1.8 power than the 1.0 corsa, and thats with the 1.8 dragging 5 people along compared to corsa just doing me (and sometimes bro).
