Official Photos of the 2008 Focus from Seattle... - The Ford Focus Forum

I thought you SFers would be amused by this. Here's the '08 car:

Clearly a professional driver on a closed course. But who is this professional driver?

Why, it looks like the National Runner-Up, er, Third Place SF driver!

Who's the stunt passenger? It's FocalJet's own Ron M.!

**bryst06** · 09-21-2007, 09:05 PM

They should have got "The Stig" to drive w/ Ron.

It looks like it has a lot of potential, but definitley needs some work to remove all the ugly.

Phew, they brought out the big ugly stick didn't they?

What is going on with the rear? And no hatchback? Booo this car!

I like the headlights? The super chromey grill isn't hideous.

Just thought I'd bump this, because I happened to look in the October 8 issue of AutoWeek, on page 19, and there Ron and I are!

I didn't think I would get into AutoWeek until I ran Daytona Prototype!

Way to go. That's great! I have the issue at home.

Did anyone notice that the article ended in mid sentence? To bad they chopped the last few words out of the article. Had to wait until the next issue or so (forget which one) for the ending.
