i got rid of the focus.

I got sick of things breaking on it, it could not handle my driving style, new gearbox last month £1272, 2 weeks later dual mass flywheel gave up the ghost so i decided that i wanted to try something german this time and was planmning on a passat tdi

ended up with this though

not big, not clever and not fast but is very very comfy, smooth quiet, smart, clean (not a scratch anywhere) and economical. and i think its a nice looking motor

2003 bmw 316i se 1.8 38000 miles.
