Little drive in the forest

[W4X LG]

Went out for a quick spin in the forest yesterday and took a load of pics!

The focus is my bros and will not be to most peoples taste! (yes it has bonnet raisers! needed for all the power the 2.0 zetec makes!)

























I know the golf is low but never realised how low it looks when rolling!!

It's nice to see some cars with mostly stealthy mods on them. It does my nut in when you see people sticking daft decals all over the car for kit they haven't even fitted, and huge rims with puny brakes. It looks like you guys had fun anyway

Looking good Luke, yeah it does look bloody low! You've got to love the roads around Lyndhurst and Hythe! Your bro's focus looks rather cool IMHO, I've seen a lot worse!

tidy machines & good roads there - nice to find some time and emptiness to take advantage of

Nice, some really good photos there. Am liking the Focus just as much as the Golf both very subtle and tasteful.

Both cars look pretty clean and tidy, but can I ask a bit of a daft question......

The bonnett risers are meant to make it look like the bonnett isnt closed properly? Is there a point or just looks?

I think they are ment to help with letting the heat out the engine bay/let air in but they look st to me! Keep telling him it would look so much better without them.

Sounds about right that's what the do on race mini's, although they do tend to get a bit hotter than a warm focus

+1.

Looks like he hasn't pushed the bonnet right down in the catch. Must be my untrained eye....

Votex kit? Looks good.

Was messing around between Lyndhurst and Beaulieu. If you come from Totton way turn left into the forest just as you get into lyndhurst, then take the next left will take you out on the road pictured.
