I don't think my little motor is as interesting as some of the other reader's cars, so I'll stick her in here as my first PH post.
Picked her up just over 2 years ago on 18k, completely standard:
6 months later, a couple of subtle mods:
There was a brief foray back to standard suspension: it didn't feel right, and found she had a broken rear spring, then a change of alloys and back to lowered again. Which is how she's been for just over a year now:
Just over 2 years, and 33k miles and although I keep looking at other cars, she's nippy enough to make the daily commute fun when the traffic allows, but economical enough that something quicker would hurt!
Great cars, love it mate Picked her up just over 2 years ago on 18k, completely standard:

from me too.. I nearly purchased a new white Fiesta ST with the blue GT stripes back in 2006, but went for a Focus ST instead. Waynester said:

Gave it a proper wash this last weekend, finishing with some Autoglym HD wax I've had since Christmas:

My Focus ST-3. So far it's had the Mountune MP260 upgrade (filter, intercooler and remap), as well as the Mountune inlet plenum and Mountune S/S cat back exhaust.
It's my daily driver so I try not to put my foot down too often because of the horrific fuel consumption and the fear of cracking a liner. But that 5 cylinder burble and that exhaust makes it very hard to resist.

Now that's a nice one!
I always liked the early 2.8's, there's something about the black grill and those pepperpots!
Good to see another Capri owner on here
Thanks Doug! Seem to be a bit thin on the ground nowadays.. I had to hunt around for a while to find an early 2.8 in red! I always liked the early 2.8's, there's something about the black grill and those pepperpots!

New pics...
Pulled it out of the garage for a wash...
Only quick detailed, thought I best wash the dust off before its MOT...
