New Year, New Car policy.....wOoT!!

It's the first week of uni. and 3rd year is FUN fun FUN!! and to top it off it has been very exciting...........^&$*%^$^*$&^

First we went to Byron Bay in NSW to see the sunrise but ended up seeing more shooting stars instead (made heaps of wishes). The trip consisted of me, Jessica, Ernest and his sister. Our transport is of course the Ford Fiesta which gave us a comfortable but noisy trip (so cliche).

After Byron Bay, some Aussie driver hit my car (again) in less than 8 months of ownership, felt sad but managed to polish off the paint mark leaving a dent..zzzzzzz.....later I decided to give my beloved car a health check and found out that she had minor cancer; her battery has been spewing acid all over the engine transmission case causing it to rust.

Had no choice, so I made a service appointment to have it rectified at the service centre but the chibai warranty team wasn't there to inspect my honey. So, I went to the showroom and kicked up a fuss with my salesman and magically he gave me a .............................

Ford Focus 2.0 with Seq. Sports Transmission

Ford's new key blade

This totally made my day, I was allowed to keep the car while my honey is being fixed (but personally I rather she'd die so that I can keep this new chick).......heheheheh

AND on with some reviews of this Focus;
car settles to a light burble after starting, engine was eager to be kicked up to 6k rpm with a loud and sexy growl (imagine a girl growling....lol!), very responsive D-B-W with good brake modulation, excellent control of NVH levels, Sequential Sports Transmission shifts with a solid 'click' to give excellent vehicle control, suspension is legendary Control Blade Independent system for superb road holding and reduced road noise, torquey engine, best of all; engine sounds like a Volvo S40 2.4i

However, torque steer is not desirable as I almost crashed into another car when I shifted 2 gears down using the manual mode.

Overall, this car would be the next on my list of desirable cars but depends whether VG will sponsor me is another issue altogether.........LMAO!! (inside joke)

That's it for this week, I would be away at Stradbroke Island for the weekend. Everyone please have a great weekend!!

adios!
