Ford Focus ST Jaffa Orange - Jokes.

[GolfTi]

Hi all

My mate/colleague has just bought a 1 yr old Focus ST (Offensive/Jaffa/Tango/Dayglo/Electric) Orange.

I own a mk5 GTI (black) and have a mk6 on order (black).

We are having a bit of office banter about cars, he just doesn't get the VW/GTI thing.

My car is way too expensive and only a fool would spend that sort of money when you can get sooooo much more on a Ford...
I've already done the sunglasses in the car park for 2 days and given him details of many breakdown services.

Any ideas, please!

You could start with Clarkson's Top Gear review, in which he reveals what "ST" normally stands for (in the context of feminine hygiene that is....) and re-names it the "Focus ASBO".

And for the text version....

Don’t get it in orange, and don’t get the bonnet stripes. You tit

His parting shot is that the best thing about the car is that it also comes in blue....

Didnt Jeremy Clarkson refer to the ST standing for the Sanitary Towel?

I was trying to be delicate and discreet here....

It's not a bad review, but he doesn't half poke fun at the looks of the thing.  I originally considered an ST myself, and I guess I'd have been quite happy (in blue), but I decided it was worth ponying up the extra for the VW.

ST sounds lovely! Also is great at overtaking, other than that its not very good.

I couldn't think of a better car for moddeling my baseball caps in and picking up 15 year old girls

Ported from the original thread.

I cannot believe anyone in their right senses would go for that puke inducing orange!! come to that why would anyone go for a ford focus be it an ST or RS it's a positively ugly looking great beast of  a thing.

Now that's interesting.  A guy at work has just bought a 1.6 litre Focus Zetec, in silver.  I went out to the car park to have a look, and I was quite disappointed.  I didn't think it was ugly, but I did think it was "a great beast of a thing".  (I got laughed at by a bunch of Yanks for calling it "quite a big beast", and they started posting pictures of Cadillacs and Lincolns!)

The Golf is about the same size on actual measurements, but it looks much more sleek and neat.

Yeah Rolfe

I'm with you, compared to the focus the golf is uber neat!!

I like the Focus.  It's good to drive.  Better steering than the Golf.
To annoy chappie trade in the Golf for an RS.

You could flaunt your DSG and ACC, if you've got them.  I was trying to configure a Focus as near as I could to the Golf I just ordered, and realised neither of these was available.  At all.
