I figured my "local" forum would be the place to say hi, not least cos I noticed a couple of you that live scarily nearby.

I'm Dave, I'm 20, I'm in the process of being bankrupted by my 1999 Focus 1.8 - being a student and running a car are mutually exclusive activities it seems.

First heard of PH when I stumbled across the Virginia Water meet last September, met a couple of the 'Vette guys, but only just got around to joining.

I'd say to look out for me around Windlesham/Sunningdale/V Water area, but how unique is a green Focus?

Cheers.

Ah 1999 Focus 1.8. Excellent car! Mind you mine was starting to complain about being thrashed so I chopped it in on the MX5!

Watch out for speedo failure and rough running. Caused by sensor failure in the gearbox but didn't show up in the ECU error codes!


Cheers.

Actually, funny you should mention the speedo - ran past the speed check on the A322 the other night, and the numbers didn't match - was about 7mph over. A warning sign, perhaps?
