was going to say that you should read the manual. Also wind all your windows down. and activate the alarm. then walk past one of the windows and lean in the car! and see what happens hahahaha there are so many features about the car thats its sooo funny.

Looks hot Buckie, love those wheels too! I hadn't ever seen a blue one in Canberra, it might be even rarer than than the AU which picked up a clone or two

I'll try that. Not tonight, although if my noisy neighbours keep me awake again, might park it out side their bedroom window with the windows down like you suggested. :hihi: Quote:

Nice buy Buckie, msut be weird in the senses to get out of the AU and into the lil Focus!
But good choice on the XR5T, if there ever was a small car to swing me from the big aussie brutes its the smaller XR Series ford has got goin on, and they are only set to get soo much better as the years get on. |

tend to do some research for no reason to keep me occupied. ohhhh um lock the car and hold the lock and unlock for 3 seconds and the lights should flash. Then when you unlock the car only the drivers should unlock. that SHOULD work on the LS. not sure. but give it a go.

Thanks guys. My introduction into the world of Boost. I like it very much. It feels different to any XR6T or F6 I've been in. Not as quick, but a really nice drive. A different kind of power. Maybe being a 5cyl is the key. Definatley different car to my AU.

instead they made it look like the old US Tempo --Russ PS... saw a brand new US Focus at Steeda headquarters in South Florida a few weeks ago... maybe it'll be a little more ballsy?

Thanks guys. I've just about to hit 3,000 k's, and with the exception of a week in the workshop, its a great car. Enjoying this thing called boost.
Also i had the pleasure of having a backseat ride in an XR5 which has been edited. Its got over 200kw's now and about an extra 100nm of torque. It unleashes the beast within. So plenty of potential. But for now, I am more than happy with the power mine has. Quote:
