Went For A Drive...
#1
Since I fitted the Group A, I thought I'd give the car a bit of a run up different temperatures. And living where I do, it has everything to test your car's drivability, suspension setup and skill.

So here's a few stop I made in Ogwen, Snowdon, which is about 4 miles away from where I live. Not much snow up here yet, but its very cold and it'll probably be covered by tonight.

Enjoy...

great pics as always, I have to admit the bacground reminds me a lot of Newfoundland.
I was the only member on this board with a Yellow Focus Sedan, and a 2002+ Euro Facelift on a sedan.

I hope you mean "ugh" that the wheels are nice, because anything else would make you look ridiculous, these are 6 spoke compomotives, the cult motorsport wheel of choice. Even if you don't like the style, it doesn't matter. These are the wheels used on the company cars of massive tuners in Europe ;)

That's weird, its a black car with white wheels, isn't that normal scheme. Please don't tell me he's one of these people who prefer gold wheels on a black car! :lol:

Here's the mag feature from the thrash I did...

Don't worry Flo you're not alone with your thoughts, has always rubbed me the wrong way too. Much like the attempt to lecture us on the sunject of "winter". :rolleyes:
