It's with much regret that I announce EURO4D is up for sale as I require a larger vehicle, so I can tow my Escorts.
http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthr...650#post350650 I do want to emphasise that my involvement in the club will continue, I still own a couple cars in the club heh. I love the Focus and will really miss it. It's provided so many good memories (along with all you guys in the club), and I regret the idea of not having it. But, I do need a vehicle that can tow, so I hope the car goes to a good home. Tim |

Arguably the best road driven Focus in Australia this none. Meticulously cared for, spotless in every way and cared for like a family member. Would be a very good purchase to any car lover. Sorry to see it going Tim!

Thanks for the comments guys...
At this stage, I am looking at a 3.0L Duratec V6 Escape to replace the Focus, which can both tow and have some resemblance of fuel economy when I am not. Although I am not Ford biased, I do like the Escape, and moreso the Territory, but the Tory chews the fuel too badly for my liking. More on this soon, thanks again, will be sad to see her go. Tim |

We will have to organise a "Goodbye EUR04D Cruise" asap before you sell it Tim.
Not sure if it will happen but surely we could fit in one more cruise for the EUR04D? Any takers?

OMG, i am also shocked and speechless, but all good things come to an end.
It is one of the hottest focus i have ever seen, and a true member of the club (ie head of the clan). I only hope the new owned will treat it with respect and keep it in top shape and also have lots of fun with it. A Goodbye EUR04D Cruise sounds good but might have to be very soon.

Timmeh,
What a shame mate. Are the plates going with the car also?? If there's a cruise before you sell it (and I'm not away in S.A.) I'd love to ride shot-gun at some stage. |

I'm pretty sure the plates are going with the car. Definitely not something you had planned considering all the work done to EUR04D. All the best with the sale Tim, it's been fun cruising with Blue Flame.

The price is as low as it's going, $17,990, if it doesn't sell at this price, I'm keeping her, she's worth more than that anyway. Tim |

I have always loved the BA's styling tho, and there was no other vehicle on the market that I could buy an immaculate one year old with all the toys that would tow 2300kg as easily and safely for 23 grand. I tested it extensively, inspected it from head to toe, did everything I could to ensure it was problem free. The photos below are from the dealers website, hence the extremely low quality, both in colour and contrast. The car's a nice deep red, the interior is black (not grey like it seems in the photo). So let's see if this Falcon can bury the demons of Falcons past. Tim |

Good luck with the new BA Tim. I know the dramas you and your old folks have had with Falcons, especially BAs. I also know how much you loved Euro4d, especially after riding shotgun in it. Best of luck mate.
