The focus came out faster on the 1/4 mile, test track and all the other tests, including passenger space, room for baby carseats, and trunk (boot) space.

That's awesome!

Anybody who says the Focus doesn't have potential is a liar. Although that's a LOT of money to pour into a sleeper.

I used to have a '94 Ford Escort Wagon. It was one of my favorite cars I've ever owned. When I lost it in 2005 I looked at a Focus. Nice car to drive, but I've never gotten over how ugly they are. If somebody gave me one I'd sell it and buy something that looked halfway decent.

The 1st Gen wasn't too pretty, I'll give you that...and 2nd Gen was just a body kit over the same frame and slight engine improvements

But the new ones don't look that bad. ( Just realized it's been 10 years since 2005... )



I do really really want a mid-90's Escort though...

[Sailor Steve]

I'll give you that. They did improve the looks somewhat. This grumpy crusty curmudgeon still doesn't like 'em, though.

[swamprat69er]

Neither does this old phart. I would rather have this Ford;
A 57 Thunder chicken, black over Yellow with the continental kit.

Staying on the car/motor topic...

If any of you haven't seen "The World's Fastest Indian" with (sir?) Anthony Hopkins, then you haven't seen a "car" movie.

It is one of my top 5 movies ever.

[Eichhörnchen]

I've not heard of this... looks good.

[Red October1984]

Sounds good! I'll watch it eventually.

Seen that one not long ago, indeed a great flick

What happens if you put a 80's flick on steroids?
You get kungfury (a 30min online flick soon to be released)


in those 30 minutes you get a renegade cop, hacking with epic graphics, time travel, kungfu, Adolf Hitler, vikings, T-Rex and not to forget the one and only Hoff doing the soundtrack linked here:

Forget Star Wars, now THIS is epic.

saw "Interstellar".

Have to say this movie really blew me away, one of the best science fiction movie I have seen in a long time.

since 1968, many movies have tried to match "2001: a space Odyssey", this is the first one that I would say is in the same class.

best scene in the movie: WARNING, major spoiler if you have not seen the movie.

Yeah... for whatever reason.
In my opinion, 2001 is just overrated/over-hyped.
While it sure is no bad movie, I fail to see the 'brilliance' in it as so many others apparently - or maybe I'm just not that impressed by it.

It did many things right and had interesting aspects, but although I can usually stick very well through "boring movies", this one made me fall asleep all 3 times I tried to see it.
For me, this brilliant masterpiece was simply a tedious and dreadful experience and, slippery slope but I wish to say it, I think many just claim to 'love' this movie "because its cult".

Opinions.
