There.. I said it :chug:
So back to the questions -
tell me what were the running costs when you ran a MPS?
what sort of miles did you do in the MPS when you suffered from backache?
How similar did you find the MPS thats just a rebdaged Focus, examples of what they have in common?
Let's not even touch parts prices
