Sounds like it is time to call either Pimp my Ride or OverHaulin. :)

Thats pretty neat, the Focus in the States doesn't get 50mpg, more like 35mpg.

Well, if you like hearing the engine sing, then the consumption goes up! Motorway driving gives me about 500 miles on a 55l tank. Ripping up the backroads gives me about 300 a tank! The zetec engine (although it's a domestic hatchback) sounds pretty brutal at 4500rpm in 3rd with a standard exhaust pipe. That's when the fun really begins in a Focus.

If only we could gets those Mustangs over here! Wow! If you're paying 80p ($1.50) for a litre of fuel in the UK you'd best save it for the sunny weekend in the summer...

I'm only doing driving lessons at the moment, so technically I drive a cute little Renault Clio which is really nice and smooth to drive (not that I have anything to compare it to). Then when I have my drivers licence I'll have to use my mums Rover Metro... great. :(

Gas over here only costs about $.52 USD per liter for 93 octane.

So that would be about $2 USD for a US gallon right? That's not bad. I'm paying $2.20/Gal., at least! Where's "here"?

I actually finds its more of a pain to pay for insurance than it is to be able to buy a car. I saved up for my car pretty easily but insurance back home is a ***** (2800 a year), luckily it's much cheaper up here at school (1100) but since I am not working as much up here its still a heavy hit

Sweet, I had a 90 in Sterling Silver before my Impreza. Loved the HVAC controls in the E30! Need a new valve cover gasket? Still have one lying around.

I drive a 2002 VW Jetta 1.8T, and for what it's worth I have my Apple iPod installed in it so I can listen to my tunes on the road.
