New car arrived today - back in a Ford

[Dal]

Picked it up today:

The speckle in the paint is unreal:

I asked the dealers not to touch / wash / valet it as it's covered in fallout and crud from it's train trip from Germany - I'll give it a full detox wash tomorrow all being well so it stays swirl free from the off.

Inside was still as it came off the transporter:

I expressed an interest with my dealer last February and paid the deposit in July. It's been quite a wait.

To say it's an amazing drive is a massive understatement. It's immense. :thumbs:

Wow Dal, you lucky sod . I said when we went to that Ford meet that there was a lot of flake in the paint and it really shows when the sun hits it.

This car has brought me back to the forum just to say I am ultra envious!

Nice to see you back with the Focus crew

 

[Dal]

But then your ST is quite special too mate! We'll have to get them together sometime. I know you bought my last Focus, but I doubt I'm selling this one for a very long time! Hopefully this will get me over missing my Asbo finally. k:

Thanks for all the comments peeps! ose2:

 

[VorTeX]

Definitely should get them together!

When you give Matt his passenger ride maybe we should then.

Are you taking it to fitp?

 

[VorTeX]

Also, if we did imagine the noise :twisted:

Yup - I'll hide it behind the Pumas. ose2:

I'm not sure that will work, I think people will be drawn to RS heaven! :lol:

P.S. Not saying the Pumas aren't special enough!

I've just had my first encounter with "The RS effect"

Was giving the little beast it's first wash when a car drove by - the driver took about 3 separate looks and turned around and came back. He then parked up and came to talk to me!

He said that he was just on the way to his dealers to see his first Nitrous Blue car and he couldn't help but stop and ask me questions about it. He was completely taken aback by the sparkly nature of the paint in the sun and then surprised how different it looked when the sun went in! He seemed to like the few revs I gave it to, he then went merrily on his way to his dealers.

Poser :lol:

Decontaminated it yesterday with snow foam, 2BM Tardis and Korrosol mostly with plenty of rinses and additional Farcala detox shampoo washes. Think I must have washed it at least 5 times!

Then today was AF Rejuvinate, Poorboys White Diamond topped up with AF Spirit wax. It looks amazing.

Then I went out for a drive in the rain and ruined the look as I couldn't resist driving it! :thumbs:
