Default Missed Owning a Scooby Yesterday

First time since owning the Focus have I missed the scoob, and why.............


Went through Dartford Tunnel and even with my new cat back system on, it just wasn't the same with the window rolled down .

Not enough to make me want another though...........................Yet

Default Suggestion

You could save one of the many superb sounds & burn to a dvd/cd & play it out loud on the Ford stereo when going through the tunnel or get the real deal & get another scooby

I know how you feel though as I currently have a Crysler 300C as a courtesy car & went through the tunnel over the weekend & was not the same
Car should be ready middle of next week so hopefully will be able to attend the cruise on Sat 5th.

No regrets, as if I'm honest it was always the sound that made me go back more than the actual car itself.

Getting the wheels refurbed (darker) next week and loving the Focus TBH.

Next might even be a RS Focus

Oh yes...that slippery slope....I know it well....... "I'm not modding my car"
FMIC, Decatt etc later!!

There are times driving about in my Type R, that I think shall I stick a lovely decatted stainless on it, maybe FMIC it too....... but you have to be strong and say NO!!!!!
I miss the loud burble, but its nice to know my car is as it should be!!
