That focus driver and passengers were very lucky yikes

Bobbers I just realised that one of your headunits has Alexa built in. Scope there for lots of fun if you also got some alexa enabled plugs and bulbs and put them around the house without Mrs Bobbers knowing. hehe

Saw quite a few of those in Corfu.

Some were badges as SEAT as well.

That Focus crash was shocking in how quickly it happened.

I admired the drivers control as well, I’d have been swearing and throwing hands if I’m honest.

I really wish I could behave like that driver.

I'm guessing the weather might be more compatible to a long life for them there.

The SEAT version of Panda was sold as Marbella .

I once borrowed a SEAT Marbella fridge van ,badged Terra , for a delivery ....wobble

UPDATE shout

I have purchased a wheel of the bay of broken dreams.

Refurbished it cost a mere 300 snots.

I have purchased two Rainsport 5 tyres. Size 275/30/19. A steal at 260 quid of the inter Webb’s.

I intend to remove the tyre from the old rim and eBay it, I’ll be honest about it, got to be worth a hundred quid of someone’s money.

Now I’ll explain my reasons.

I wanted PS4S. But! That’s give me a wake up call.

Money is one, unitoyals are one hundred pounds less.

I want a decent set of tyres with a softer sidewall.

We just don’t have decent roads.

The reason I never thought about repairing the old wheel are twofold.

I haven’t the time now, and I want the car back on the road ASAP.

A good friend of mind is a coded welder.

He’s worked on nuclear subs and at the minute welds Gas storage tanks.

He’s a guy who’s opinion I trust.

He told me he would never entertain a welded alloy on his car, he would always replace and he doesn’t like spending money.

I won’t have a wheel straighten or welded, I will always replace. But that’s just me.

Thanks for the heads up chaps, that is truly shocking, I must be honest and admit that I'd have gone fking apest mental if that had happened to me,the old Focus did hold up well though didn't it?!?!

I understand your reasoning StuntmanMike, when I bought the Rioja Blue Racing Focus it had ste tyres on it, the first thing I did to the car was to replace them with Goodyear Efficientgrips, I've had them on the older Focus for a while and they work really well on the Focus!!!

Any movement on the Minty Fiat Peri?
