Spotted! VIC

[Fast Eddie]

Yeah, much to my amazement when I turned the corner and spotted Rob's Factory, there was Melbzetec's Focus there. I thought he may have left it there for the day but Melbzetec and I had a chat and took some photos.

I've got to admit that Rob's Factory set-up is Second-To-None!

Hey all,

Just thought I'd give an update on my sightings since it's been quite a while. Just recently I saw a black xr4 driving down ernst ****e rd off the freeway in narre warren. It was sporting very unique looking electric orange overhead stripes. Very cool indeed. And also, here are a few photos of a focus I spotted in Japan while on holiday earlier in the year.

I know this isn't a Euro Ford however I was VERY impressed to see a burgandy 2010 Chevy Camaro heading down my street. Hadn't seen one before and I must say they are very big cars.

chinwe3: Looking at the list of brands on the door of the focus, it looks like that car may actaully have them installed. That has got to be a first.

I would like to have seen some Original WRC vents in the bonnet in that Jap Focus just to finish it off.

Spotted a new WS Fiesta 3dr Zetec in Colorado Red at Blockbuster Video Braybrook, and another Zetec in Ocean in the same area 3 hours later.

Spotted Photn's LR Focus in Queens Rd Melbourne. Although it pains me, I have to say that it has the HORNIEST exhaust note EVER on a Focus. A quick burst of acceleration lets everyone know that it is NOT a stock Focus.

Spotted a ST170 on Burwood Hwy heading toward Ferntree Gully on Friday. Also there is another one for sale at Strapp Ford. 45k kms and only $20k. Too bad the dealer scraped the bottom of the driver side door on the concrete gutter beside the car, when he went to start it up. I almost sacrificed my house deposit on it until I saw that.

spotted Focus LT. Not sure it if was a CL or LX but it was colorado red with XR5 stripes on it.

also spotted a dumped 98 modeo (hatch?) at Brimbank park today. dark blue with big chomies on it. Almost at good as Ryan's 95 deo. (almost)

sorry, didn't have my camera spare for pix.

Came out of Woolies 2 weeks ago and saw a white XR4 with blue stripes parked next to me, and about 5 spaces down was a stock black WQ LX.

Spotted a Fiesta XR4 with plates 'XR4CE' on Porter St in Templestowe. I was following behind in the turbo

Saw a stock black LS Focus LX last week with big red "XR4" stickers on the rear doors and boot lid. Good God...

probably the same type who would put mazdaspeed across the front window of a toyota. or list their dream parts down the side door. What a tool!

Or, more commonly known as a 'shopping list'

Sadly I'm guilty of a few of those :S. how much is the fine?

[Fled74]

There's a lot of WS Fiestas around near where I live and work. About 1/3 of them are lime-green Zetecs like the one Clarkson reviewed...

[XR5-Boy]

Black XR5 Turbo on the eastern last week. Gave each other the thumbs up while next to each other

[Fled74]

I just saw 3 Swifts with stripes drive past my office window in the space of 15 minutes.

I was referring to XR4 pretenders.
Speaking of which, there's a white Fiesta LX in the car park at work that's covered with go-fast stickers and various eBay bits and bobs. The owner's either a real tool or doesn't take himself seriously. I see him in the mirror every morning. :P

Spotted a very rare Lancia Stratos with full race livery, including the big 4 rally driving lights across the front, driving north on Warrigal Rd yesterday afternoon. One hot looking car. Didn't know any existed in Australia. Reputedly less than 500 were ever made

If you don't know what they look like, look here:

Damn.... they are a rare find indeed. Green, red and white castrol livery??

[Fast Eddie]

I seem to remember seeing an example in the Lobby at Mantra when I was at the WRC last September. Nice indeed.

Spotted green Cougar most mornings on the way to the office. 'Kugaga'

[Fled74]

A couple months ago, one of the bosses here bought a new Focus XR5 in blue with the leather interior. I got to drive it and loved every second I was behind the wheel.

Imagine what it's like driving it every day ;)

My first sighting of an RS was on Friday. Saw a green one turning left onto Springvale road (northbound) from Maroondah Hwy. I looked at him, he looked at me. It was love mate. pure and simple.

Also spied a blue one on Lonsdale st later that same night. Almost didn't recognise it due to the poor lighting.

[Velociraptor82]

Spied a ST170 on Maroondah Hwy last week. Also saw a dumped red XR4 (no stripes) on burwood hwy yesturday.

[Velociraptor82]

Spied a VERY low LS focus CL on burwood hwy this morning. Black, with zetec rims. (needed a wash)
