OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So before you read this i have to admit that its my fault for not checking. (will make sense in a min.) So last night i decided to get together the stuff ready to pick up the new car. simple... No. Focus's key and spare key, check. insurance documents, check. Registation documents, check. sandwiches and juice for journey, check. MOT certificate for focus, WTF, huh I swear I saw... well maybe i didnt *rummages arround some more*. nope definately dont. NOT CHECK panic panic NOT CHECK!!!! So phone up freind who was there when i bought focus. Me: "Dood, dood! you remember when i bought the focus?" friend: "wtf calm the f*** down, yes i do" Me: "and you remember him saying; "Yeah Yeah we'll service and MOT it before you pick it up"?" friend: " yeah..." Me: "well, they didnt f***ing MOT it did they. friend: "err.. is that bad?" Me: " OMFG what do you think it is? huh? you think its good? you think im bl***y laughing? NO im not, cos the car has been out of MOT for 6 months! " friend: *click*, *boooooooooooooooooooo <--hung up So yeah. i did apologise btw. Anyhoo. so i phoned the garage first thing in the morning in the vain hope they just didnt give me the certificate. Nope. No record of it. At all. What so ever. So i have had to run round today like a blue a***d fly trying to get an MOT done before 1PM. no such luck, way to busy today everywhere. so i though the ford guy could sort it tomorrow first thing for me seeing as he f***ed me over in the first place. Phone him up and: "Hi can you please sort out an MOT first thing tommorow morning for me." "i'll put you through to rapid fit" *click* "Hi rapid fit, and who the f*** are you?" "hi, im some random customer who you have no reason to help out, please dont help!" And so i have managed to get the local Allen ford garage to supposedly do it by the end of the day. this means i wont get to scotland till prob 12.30AM - 1AM. rant over, for now.

1 day, 1 hour, 22 mins to go!!! Must... Stay... Calm...

Me too!

Thankyou for the warm welcome! i am worried about running out of road in a corner lol My freind was telling me not to bail in a corner, stick in there and dont be jumpy with the throttle it wont appreciate it! I cant wait! Im going to have to find somewhere to have a toy about early in the morning, would rather **** it up in private and safely 3 days, 2 hours, 5 mins to wait!!!

didnt realise there was a silver club, ahh. I make an assumption here that its far superior to any other colour club?

I was about to tune it when i came to my senses was about to shell out for am mountune kit, exhaust etc then i had a bright idea! And what an idea! I did find the ST's power to all but vanish after 5k and it just sounded awfull The Z is a car designed to be sporty, fast, a drivers car. while the ST is a slow car pushed/modified to go faster. like the guy who sold me it said, "get rid of the family hatchback" lol I do have this fear stepping into my first rear wheel drive car though... Im from stirling! ok, well maybe or

Thanks guys, the welcome is much appreciated. This is a brialliant forum everone seems really light hearted and helpfull. oh and the smileys are awesome

Im based in coventry but really im from central scotland yes i did travel and will travel again over 600 miles round trip for it lol . I looked at every zed i could as far as manchester. but gave up and looked on home soil and success straight away. great garage aswell first class service! he offered to deliver it half way down (carlisle) for me, but wheres the fun in that

Hi there , Im new to the forum and have signed up for a very special reason I pick up my silver 350Z on saturday! I have chucked in my focus ST3 (<--Boring car ) for it which i think was a good plan. Before the Focus i owned a mitsubishi gto and have been chasing that feeling since (Fords are incapable of achieving this, believe me ive tried ). I paid 13000 for her and got a very good trade in for the focus, GT pack, 22000 miles, 2004, not a mark on her polished hide Anyhoo heres a link to the car in question. i'll copy some of the pictures to here (if i can get it to work...) for when the link goes dead. opinions good or bad? http://www.pearsoncars.com/vehicle/&registration=# [attachment=0]!!qFSURgCG0~$(KGrHgoOKiYEjlLmep38BJ7b,!fGC!~~_12.jpg[/attachment] [attachment=1]93b4_12.jpg[/attachment] [attachment=2]9678_12.jpg[/attachment]
