Well after deliberating what to do with the scooby as she really isnt the best car to be using for commuting and was costing me a fourtune I decided to buy another focus ST and keep the scooby as my weekend toy.

Within the first couple of weeks I realised I missed the power so took a trip to Pumabuild in Birmingham for a remap, full stainless turbo back exhaust and a bigger intercooler so now the ST is running 280BHP or there abouts

here she is and scooby is tucked up in the garage

what scoob do you have then? i cant see how a focus st will be cheaper to run especially when you have just spent cash upping the power on top of buying the focus, 2 loads of insurance and tax etc.

more pointless than my missus 80+ pairs of shoes.

don't quite see the point either, that's in the ST or on the 80+ pairs of shoes. LOL

The scoob was becoming a lot unreliable and has 120k on it now so it was time to get something more reliable and newer.

You lot sound like my wife with the " dont see how the focus will be any cheaper to run"

Its only money you cant take it with you and I work hard enough so see my car as my only excess in life

Couldnt you have spent a bit more and got a facelift model. Look sooo much better imho. Still nice bit of poke and I do like the 5 pot sound when you boot it.

Gotta echo the others tho - everywhere I read about ST ownership MPG is a negative. My mate has an ST2 and always moaning about it. Uses the mrs monde tdci more these days

Typical **** poor, negative, greeneyed, "put him down because we cant afford it" scoobynet brigade reaction I see.

I'm pleased for you fella they look a nice motor. It's certainly something I'd like to say I owned aswell as my Impreza.

We all know it's the truth though

I dont think the negative comments had anything to do with the affordability of a 2nd hand Focus ST. Most were suprised at the comment about affordability over the scoob which I think was a contradiction with the OP's later comment of "Its only money you cant take it with you and I work hard enough so see my car as my only excess in life"

I like the Focus. Test drove one before deciding on a CTR as I was leasing. Remapped ones are a different beast and a good sleeper I bet. Im looking for a new car now and the RS mk2 was a consideration but the lack of 4wd and the very strong 2nd hand prices have put me off.

Looks very nice that. Rare to see a pre-face lifted MKII Focus ST in Black.
