  1. Recently during our drive, I came across the genius uae local at Faya having a white Nissan Patrol with Whipple supercharger with open hood that was lighting the whole engine bay and all around. On a closer look, I found out that it was a regular camping light that usually comes with a fishing pole and wire with cig lighter cable and battery clip. This guy has wired the cable from battery to the hood and fixed the light inside the hood. Making it so simple to use while camping and also have awesome light in the engine bay if you need to work. Damn creative and genius idea. I have installed the same today (DIY) in less than 30 min with the light I'm carrying all the time for camping and most of the time too lazy to install as it takes a long time to set up and pack. I fixed the light first with 3M double-sided tape, but that experiment failed as after 15 minutes of hard pushing the light fall down and it was extremely hot. So instead I tried alternate route of keeping all wiring in place and stick the big magnet behind the light, so whenever I want light I can just stick the magnet under the hood and plug the socket. This way it's much safer and advisable, as if light falls in the engine bay and goes inside the fan then damage can be catastrophic.

  3. Just because you don't understand or like something doesn't make it crap. There are massive hatchback scenes all over the world and Ford have built some pretty cool Focuss (Focii?) and Fiestas. Light and fast can be just as much, if not more fun than a V8 heavy land yacht which has to be wrestled around corners. Fiesta models, XR2, Supersport, XR2i, Crayford, RS Turbo, Si, that's the older ones. Some good examples of them command higher prices than a brand new Mustang. Then you have the later ST models. 6.9 0-60, 159 BHP per tonne is nothing to be sniffed at, especially in a small hatchback. Many huge 4x4s can't even meet that figure. Then you also have the Fiesta WRC which speaks for itself. Incedentally, does anyone know why the Indian manufactured Fiestas are called Figo? With the Focus, standardish models, there was the Ghia X which offered Lexus luxury for a fraction of the price. Sportish wise, there was the RS. If you have a Mk1 Focus RS now, you can name your price for it. The later models have insane power. Even the "basic" ST model runs a 2.5 turbo Volvo engine which is crazy in a medium sized hatchback. Look at the limited edition RS500. It's what Mr Vader would drive. Now let's move to the WRC models, if it was good enough for the legend that was Colin McRae, it's good enough for me.
