What a bargain

[Paul Davies]

Is this the ST focus
Looks a sweet ride

yeah its a mk2 face lift. Had an engine remap taking it up to 275bhp. Nicknamed her Stella cos she looks a bit chavy with the black wheels but didn't have a choice about them!

Annoying thing is it's programmed to say " beware beware speed speed ) if you go 5mph over the limit
Needs to work this out
Not that I speed
( any policeman reading this )

Of course you don't Robert, none of us do

IS this of help? http://www.vwgenuineparts.co.uk/VW_speed_warning.shtml

In my car, which is an Australian made General Motors dinosaur, the speed warning can also be adjusted when it activates and shows on the display, simply wind the menu wheel UP and set a new speed. Looks like you need to just press OK on your spaceship

Other thing is do you name your cars?

I am unable to state what I call my car here, being a family show and everything.

Now that's funny

I prefer my cars like Polux do. Land Rover/Range Rover!

First one is a Discovery II facelift -04 (sadly gone now) and the second is my current Vogue -07. It's been serving me very well all these years and it's the best car I've ever owned! (also the most expensive...)




Not cheap to own or drive, but weather and terrain are no longer variables when going somewhere!
Also they're the only cars I can get in/out of comfortably and to drive any distance with my dodgy back...

I admit that I'm a wee bit worried about the diesel situation in Sweden... I wish I could afford an electric conversion of the Range Rover but my days of large scale tinkering are over.

I have to share this with the wife. When I say share, I mean I get weekend use, just about the time it needs a wash.

Very nice. How's life been with an Alfa ? I've always fancied one but stories of reliability have stopped me. However, you actually own one, unlike many commentators on the web !

Well ive had it three and a half years colin and its been great , no problems , like any modern car its just a case of regular maintenance and servicing , as far as reliability goes its never missed a beat. Nice ST btw , red really suits it

My brother has an Alfa 159 SportWagon 1.9 JTD, with those 330mm front discs. Despite the moderatly powered 150bhp turbo-diesel engine, it's a blast to drive with great handling.



This was my weekend cruiser for three years until I sold it about a month ago:


...and spent the last weekend driving this home:

It's on the road - brilliant. That re-spray didn't seem to take long.
