Things have happened since I became absent on this forum. One of those things was getting my drivers’ license and getting my first car.
As the title suggests, it’s a Ford Focus with a very noisy 1.8-litre diesel engine in the top spec Ghia trim (that means lots of nice little toys). I couldn’t be any happier with the car. Drives like a dream, already covered over 5000km in it (in just 1.5 months as well), love the colour. Seriously can’t fault it.
I might take it up to the Sierra Nevada this weekend to get some snowy photos, but it’s quite unlikely. So you can just have these ones for now 
I’ve only been in an older Focus with the older 90hp version of that engine, which was great, so hopefully that should be pretty good too (albeit noisy 
).
