Yesterday's and today's updates were delayed because I was out testing my new car. Not that this has any relevance here, I just wanted to boast. :)

The driving habits in Lu are probably more environmentally friendly. Open roads so cleaner burning, switch off engine at lights, no edge of town development etc.

The Ford focus is a very nice car....but as some other guy mentioned its a boring color:-(
Well envy is a bad thing isnt it:-) (I have just bought a used '95 Ford Escort sport 1.8 2 months ago).
And would you please park the car in the garage and get back to your updates:0)

LOL thats a nice car! :)
Colour sucks though, in my opinion. Black would have rocked ;)
Have fun with it, guess you deserve just that.

Nice car - my mate's got one and thinks it's great. Mind you, he's 53 with 2 kids, uses a PC only and has never heard of "Amiga". Hmmm.... ;)

Well, if you got money to polute the environment with a car, I wonder
why you try to leech money out of the visitors of your website, gosh!

Nice!
I just bought a 99 Mustang Cobra and being a Ford Product, it is very nice..
I wish that I could attach a picture but. that's OK.
The Focus is very highly rated both here in the States as well as in Europe.
Enjoy!

Great car!
Great engines as well (Zetec series).
I'm driving a Puma myself and it's fun.

Answering a lot of comments in one message:
Yes, it seems like the Focus is rated very highly by the press, and driving it
I can see why. It drives much better than a Ford Escort or a Peugeot 306. Sadly, I didn't get to test-drive any VW Golf IV against it.
Site coding will resume soon. :)
I chose "moonlight silver" as color because dust and dirt should be much less visible on it than on a black or dark blue model (my 2nd and 3rd choice, respectively). Seeing how I live on a busy street and don't have a garage, this is an important aspect.
I'm not even answering the comment about pollution the environment, as that kind of discussion doesn't belong here. And I don't really think I am "leeching" any visitor's money just yet.
I bought a 2.0 litre, 130 HP model with lots of nice goodies, seeing how this is my first new car and I wanted something a bit more special (without taking a loan).
Overall, I'm very satisfied with the purchase. If anybody is looking for a car in this category, I can only recommend the Focus. :)

Great looks! One of a kind!
A pity that its performance is slightly less when compared to a price
equal Volkswagen Golf or Opel Astra or Toyota Corolla... and be wise
to buy the 1.6l version instead of the lower versions.... goodluck!

Mr. Branson is planning to sell cars off the net slicing 1/3 off the UK price. At least some improvement.

In reply to Comment 14 (Colin Wilson):
When prices are quoted in the USA they do not include the sales tax or registration. It's not like in the UK where they put a price on the windscreen and you just write them a cheque for that amount and drive away. Plus they don't pay 17.5% sales tax over here!!!

good job on this one!

How much was it ?
(we get fleeced in the UK when it comes to buying cars, and on one site I checked out recently www.oneswoop.com, a Rover 620, auto, with everything, was priced at £11000 in europe, and £21000 in the UK :-/ )
The damn cars are MADE here, so how can they justify charging less when they sell it in another country ?

... but it's not as nice as my 1976 Leyland Mini ;) Okay, I'll be fair, it's much nicer,
but I bet it is nowhere near as much fun - even the back seat in my car has enough space *nudgenudgewinkwink*

In reply to Comment 22 (Anonymous):
Yes, it's really nice!
BTW, you do advertise 'refferral marketing' (much like Amway)... :-)
And, which is the more important, your once very good site sadly doesn't presents any other/more news than i.e. Czech Amiga News a while ago, rather the same. (OK, there is the comments pages...) I remember yet the time when there was several quotes per day from the discussion-forums, (even irc-channels?)...
Or these are dead now? I hope you don't mind these remarks! Keep up the good work!

Probably the same reason why Absolut Vodka is more expensive in Sweden than in
any other land. Costs about $26. How much in your country you said? Less?
I knew it ;-)

I hate to say it, but the Focus is a pussy car. It makes a loud and proud statement about the driver, "Damn right I failed at life." It's one ugly car.

LOL the last message was sent by a wuss who didn`t want to leave his own email address, and pretends he is "abuse@ford.com"...
Come on you wimp, if you don`t have the bottle to admit who you are, don`t pass yourself off as some unfortunate helpdesk operator - as someone who works on a helpdesk, we get enough w@nkers already without more being referred to us.
Hey your style of email sounded familiar - have you called us already ? ;-)

I'll bet you drive one of those cool ass Focus cars, too. And your friends call you Colin the Pimply Stuttering Stud in the Focus. All the 200lb plus women clamour to fit in the passenger side seat beside you, provided there's a box of donuts there first.
:Hey your style of email sounded familiar - have you called us already ? ;-)
I'm sure I did, conversation probably went something like this.
Colin: "Hi this is Colin, can I help you?"
Unleaded: "Yeah. What time is it there?"
