My new car

It's about 2 months old but I finally got around to taking some photos of it... nothing special about the photos but I just wanted to show it off.

It's a new Ford Focus LX, it really is 'smooth'. A few teething problems with it being a new model, but I'm more than happy with it.

Cheers,
Owen.

Looks good. I'm thinking about getting the wife a focus. BTW. How come you don't have to have licence numbers on your car in NSW? Must save you a fortune in speeding and toll evasion fines.

Yeah, it's like that paint that changes colour when you view it from different angles. Depending on what angle the camera reads my plate from it changes, because of that though here you'll see that the polariser on my d70 has actually cut the letters and numbers right out. Same kind of thing if you look at an LCD display with your polariser on your camera ;)

Cool. Sort of a James Bond effect?

If you're thinking about this car for your wife, I'd recommend it, but I'm a bit biased ;)

The only other one in the same class I'd consider is the Mazda 3, but the Focus seems to be a bit more economical.
