My first car!

[camgear]

Picking it up on Sunday, looking forward to it!

It's a 1.8 Focus Zetec with the climate pack, reflex pack, and a CD player!

Seems to be mint, 90k on the clock and the serpentine belt squeals slightly but other than that it seems good!

That definately looks clean and a lot better than my first car, a 1.3 mk2 Escort estate.
Enjoy !

Very nice for a first car! Good job!

Exactly the same car as my first one, except mine is dark green
You'll love it, I had a Peugeot 206 for about a month, technically my very first car, but I hated it. This is literally a zillion times better than the peugeot, hope you enjoy it! What was insurance for you like? I was impressed, I'm 18 and was £900 TPFT. pretty good.

very good choice for a first car! great handling. Just dont go and chave it up

[LHDisbest]

Please don't go all on us.

Nice to see a mk1 Focus 3dr that doesn't look like it's ram-raided Halfrauds.

Good choice, and congratulations Beginning to wish I had a Focus instead of my Fiesta now

Arse, can't drive it to work on Monday now as all the insurance places are closed! Boooo!

[camgear]

Found every receipt for the car since new folded and hidden down the back of the owners pack! Bonus!

[Onz]

Looks like a great first car.

You could hide umpa-lumpas under those wheel arches!

[camgear]

Aye, they're huge! (And one's rusty!)

It was well worth holding out for the options, its rare to have them all together!

[Chr1sch]

Nice first motor! They go pretty well too, take it easy at the moment, if you are anything like i was, you will be understeering across roundabouts for weeks Thanlfully my first car couldnt pull the skin of a rice pudding, yours however, will!

Enjoy

Aye, my girlfriend has been driving it for a bit as she's insured and I'm not (Need to get that sorted at lunch today) and it doesn't half go when you boot it :O (And I've had bikes before this!)

My first car was one of those too, was a few years ago now though and I couldn't find a 3 door so ended up with a 5. Had it for nearly 3 years and it was great. Good choice, but please, please, please don't chav it up.

God no, I'm going to fully service it, and then maybe uprate the brakes, but that's it...

[Shiny Side Up]

Good stuff and good luck with it - I hope yours serves you as well as mine did me.

[camgear]

wow, it's ace! Lovely engine note...

[Podie]

Nice first car, and well done on holding out for the right options

Start to explore Ford's modular build and you'll find you can retro fit bits from higher spec models (things like extra lamps, footwell lights, heated washer jets, all the way up to heated leather seats!! - whatever isn't fitted)

Oh, and take it easy, be sensible and think of your NCB...!

Happy Christmas

Fantatstic cars, they handle so well. I suppose uprated pads wouldn't do any harm, but as others have said, please don't chav it with 'Lexus' lights etc!
Hope you enjoy it.....

[Taita]

Fear not, should he attempt to chavvy it I will torch it

Its really nice inside, sounds good too
