LOL - probably for the best Gray.....

 

......I'd not Julia near any of our cars in attempt to clean them!! I am pretty fussy and don't let anyone else near them for that matter - I always tell the garage not to clean my car when it goes in for service. I'd rather forsake a free wash and vac, than spend the next few weeks polishing out swirl marks and scratches caused by poor cleaning techniques!!

 

Good luck with the new toy though!!

Interesting! I didn't know they did a diesel version of the Focus ST! I am probably going to replace my Leon FR 170 toward the back end of the year and I am quite liking the current Focus. I want a diesel, this ST looks like a nice idea of I can get it with an oil burner!

 

EDIT! I re-read what you'd written. I guess the ST3 is a petrol only.
