Picked up our new ride and it's a beautiful car to drive smooth as. We'll run it in first then open her up a bit to see how she handles.

Looks nice, I like where they put the parking/reversing sensors on the car.
The dumpers look a bit wierd i guess, but thats easily fixed Dags.

Once the car is run in i'm putting a cat back zorst on and those zorst tips are history. Dream Science is working on the Edit and it should be released soon.
Yeah finally got her Senna T and i'll keep the plates till the next F6 comes along and i've had a few looks from people so maybe they think this is the new F6
It's a great car to drive and the 6 speed box is better than the old Phoon by a country mile and it handles roundabouts and corners spot on. The power comes on nice and smooth and it's a pleasure to drive it.
A couple of hundred k's to go and then i can give it a real good run as we haven't taken it over 4000 rpm yet as i want to give the engine a chance to bed in.

Very nice indeed, Been tempted by the Mondeo XR5, very nice car indeed but would still be thirsty judging from the performance of the Focus XR5, sure it's 9.3 per 100kms but city driving? Try 16l per 100k... How lacking is it in performance to the XR5 Focus, be intyeresting to see what your experience is once you open it up.
Toying with the idea of a car in the same family, lol, more or less...Mazda 3 MPS. Awesome all rounder.

I've done 355k's and used 1/2 a tank of fuel and it will use more fuel now as the engine is still tight so fuel economy should get better with more k's on the engine.
Power is smooth as and i don't think it will have the grunt like the focus as it is a few kw's down on that car and it also carries a little more weight but i'll give one a go once the engine is run in that's for sure.

These tips are a simple mod, cut the old ones off just after the muffler and weld on a set of these. :)

Thanks, I can't take the credit though, the dealer fitted them for me before I even picked the car up. Who would know what Ford were thinking when they chose those owefull droopy tips.
