Bump for The Car Forum

I am posting on The Car Forum because it is feeling left out apparently.
To keep this post on topic, I have a midnight blue Ford Focus Ecoboost.

Re: Bump for The Car Forum

Good thread Floydy.

I have a 1962 Shanks Pony model. Mine has an ecoboost and the catatonic converter works a dream (depending on my diet). The reverse parking is a gem, the big bumper prevents any dents in the chassis which is now showing evidence of rust and corrosion though doesn't require any welding yet. The frontal airbag could be bigger too but the slim(ish) racy lines, leathered upholstery and soft top still manage to draw a smirk or indulgent smile as I nip to the shops at 5 mph.
As an older classic model it also still has a cigarette lighter socket.

Hi

Very witty Morti.

I much prefer older models myself, a much smoother ride.

I'm now trying to imagine OFF members with their cars.

Here's you, Morti:

Yes, I have to watch them .. nipples ... on a freezing day in winter I once keyed someone's side door in the car park. And when a big end goes it's a girl's worst nightmare.

You still driving around in your Robin Reliant doc?
Or do you have to push it everywhere now?
