Hey folks-
Just picked up a nice little 2003 Focus ZTW wagon, 5spd manual with 100,000KM's.
it's a 2nd car for the family, which mates well with our Mazda 3 GT Daily, and my bmw e30 turbo. (50% done now...f'n NATE).
Either way, looking forward to reading up on some how to's for basic maintenance, and eventually maybe getting some suspension work done and nicer wheels..
Cheers
Ryan

Welcome Ryan and if you know Nate then you already know a lot about us. Nice to have another wagon in the FC.net family (as you can see from my sig I'm rather partial to them) and excellent that it's a 5-speed and with relatively low km.

Hi Ryan,
Good to see someone nearby. I am in Plantagenet...used to be in Kemptville. I am just getting back into this again. I am a wagon fan as well. I have had 3 wagons and 1 sedan and the wagons are my favourite. I even bought a snowblower and loaded it in the back.
Here is a pic of my last wagon 2004 (RIP). (you can see the "Focuscanada.net" sticker on the rear side window if you squint)
My GF has a 2002 which I am now starting to "take care of" and as of last year it only had 45K on it. Now it's at 85K because of all the driving from Plantagenet each day. Maybe our paths will cross.
Cheers,
Scott

With the right lead time and scheduling, some of us from further west would probably come out to an Ottawa meet - assuming of course we were invited.
