VOTE - August Focus of the Month - Make a Statement! - Focaljet

**Ataru** · 07-19-2006, 02:03 AM

The Nominations

I had to close nominations and start the voting early since I will be on my way to FOTB when it is supposed to start. So you have a few extra days to vote....

There were not a lot of nominations this month. 6 cars total. Three of those had 7 or more nominations, the other three had 2 or 1 nomination. So for this month I have decided to put the top three in the voting instead of 5 so they can duke it out.

Here they are, your choices for August Focus of the Month - Make a Statement!

Hooked Again

MichaelXi

Zona Kona

Dirt Brown takes over!

Hooked Again ftw! That car has the whole package, looks, power, and handling.

**Ray** · 07-19-2006, 08:04 AM

mike. mike all the way.

**Ataru** · 07-19-2006, 09:16 AM

I like this FOTM. You have:

1) A heavily modified Kona with a new body kit and total appearance

2) An auto-x / road race S2 that gets PLENTY of track use

3) A Kona that is modified but keeps the spirit of the original car in tact.

3 different cars with 3 different approaches. Shows you how varied the members of [FJ] are.

ZonaKona!!!

**Blazing** · 07-20-2006, 09:39 AM

Let's go Zona Kona!

**azbobbybooshay_10** · 07-20-2006, 10:31 AM

ZonaKona FTW!!

With all due respect to the other competitors, to me what makes Zona Kona's car awesome is the way he's kept with the original "idea" behind the Kona Edition. He takes it camping all the time, and still has (and uses, IIRC) the bike it comes with.

The other cars are absolutly gorgeous, but to me(as a Focus outsider, I never have owned a Focus strangely enough), if you take everything off that made the car a "Statement" car to begin with, its not really a "statement" car anymore. Its like taking a Mach edition Focus and swapping in a full Sony system instead. Just kinda takes away some of the "statement".

**Ray** · 07-20-2006, 10:35 AM

Bobby, mike races his s2, keeping with the theme

**belacyrf** · 07-20-2006, 10:47 AM
