The Car Thread

If you hadn’t said you’d bought a focus, I’d have no idea what car that is

ST Line.

Thought it was a one series at first



Looks really nice in that ST spec, bet it’s great to drive too.

Fair play for bucking the trend and buying a proper car. Far too many SUV’s in this world.

The SUV was an itch I had to scratch, with hindsight I should have just used some cream.

1500bhp feels like it’s no longer a car and legitimately a weapon with a cockpit.

Who on Earth needs that??

A byproduct of this is the ICE manufacturers have given up the numbers fight and are concentrating on the visceral experience. Some tremendous new V12 options targeting those who appreciate that sort of thing with very deep pockets, but also noticeable how those with fewer resources are being creative in finding ways to get their kicks too.

All felt pretty bleak for old-skool petrol heads just a short while ago but nothing stays the same and people adapt. Looks like we might all find a reasonable middle ground after all.
