The Psychedelic Socialist's Focus ST

[The Psychedelic Socialist]

I just think he has a new car and is probably excited and likely doesn't need peoples inner most thoughts about an i30n, whether or not I love it is beside the point tbh and I'm just happy he is happy.

I'm just happy to be included in the conversation.

Certainly can be in my Golf. Agreed that it’s a total s**t feature. Mainly as it doesn’t just pick up signs on the road you’re on but, also those on backs of vehicles, side roads and any temporary limits (I’m thinking those 20mph school limits that are active when the lights are flashing). Absolute gash.

Must be hilarious being in one of those vans that has several speed signs printed on the back of it.

I wonder if it would pick up the one on the rear of my Kangoo. It says 60 but ive modified it with a sharpie so it says 160mph

I've decided to keep it standard for the time being at least, with a view to maybe have the Mountune M330 map and intercooler fitted next year which would take it to (funnily enough) 330bhp and 515nm of torque, both comfortably more than the old Fiesta.

Do certain Mountune maps retain the original warranty? Have I remembered that right?

Nope. That hasn't been the case since the Mk2 IIRC.

My warranty only runs until next Feb I think, so that's an ideal time to start spending...

You know you don't have to talk about Volvos, don't you?

I just mean we have fantastic chassis these days, cars that handle brilliantly, but they all sound exactly the same. I could put you in a dark room and play you the sound of a Megane, Focus, i30N and Civic and you simply would not know. I just wish manufacturers could build something that sounds different.

Likewise, you stick one of these next to an i30n and take the badges off.... same car.

Like I said, these are great cars, absolutely. I just wish they had a bit more soul like the old ones had. Especially as the Focus was one of the least restrained in the styling department.

Least restrained?

They looked like a boggo focus with two exhaust tips 😂
