Came across this Focus today, never saw this blue before. Is must be quite rare, @gentil.bsky.social ?

I always like how they covered the shape of the pre facelift rear light with this piece of trim and put the new bigger lights underneath them. Saved creating a new mould for the body panels.

I believe they had a lot of fuel injection problems. Frank Sinatra had one and was also not amused

Saloon is more applicable to the sister Marea, the Brava was more like a 5 door liftback.

Very recognisable, I only estimated it younger than it was

I still have some aluminium coins from the GDR. Maybe I should get a Wartburg ๐Ÿ˜…

I think a modern(ish) Kei car would be a nice addition to the channel, might bring in new viewers too.

And the design has a lot in common with the original Mini, if you look beyond the more square lines.

Just updated the #bluesky app to Version 1.118.0 (Android 16 on Pixel 8 Pro)
After that, my "following" timeline is totally messed up, missing a lot of recent post and not updating anymore...
Does anyone else have this too?

Yeah, I did that with my colleagues on a work trip to Berlin. The guide drives at the front of the queue and each car has a speaker where you get to hear his stories. Very enjoyable ๐Ÿ˜€

Great car, only thing that bothers me are the rear lights, they look too modern

I like that 106, it's a shame simple but enjoyable cars like that do not exist anymore
