Default IT'S NOT A NEW STI IT's A FORD FOCUS

Made my self laugh the other day as.....

I was going onto Power Engineering in Uxbridge to drop my Sccob off, for a cheeky little Brake upgrade. Anyway the weather was crap as I pulled up and it was raining Cats & Dogs. I gets out the car and still had my Specs on. To keep the rain off my lenses I kept my head down and proceeded to the entrance. As I walked past I saw quite a few car and not taking much notice of any of the other cars until I saw this Prodrive zaust on the back of this Focus. so I stopped and saw the Subaru symbol also on the back and for a split second thought "why has this guy badges up his Focus to look like a Scoob"

Then the penny dropped as I realized that this was was no Focus. It was the New STI with PPP (I'm assuming) Other than looking like a FF it looked alright. Please bare in mind that all the above took place in about 5 secs.

Maybe it wasnt a Prodrive version, but it did have the same "Prodrive" symbol on the zaust as it caught my eye as it looks just like my zaust. I'm sure there's a link between Prodrive and Power Eng....

I could be dreaming but my brakes are a hell of a lot better. Coincidence ????

TBH I couldn't tell you as it was at 1st glance. I was just walking past. If any doubts it was a white STI. Who know maybe it was a Focus after all. Across the road in the tuning part of the building that had the Evo X with a couple of Evo 9's and the New Skyline.

PE have been used in the past to produce the published output graphs for PPP.
The building is also home of Ecutek HQ....
