A fairly boring but reliable 2001 2.0 ESP Ford Focus that's bog standard barring a Focus ST170 tubular exhaust manifold which is the biggest restriction on the standard engine and worth about 15 bhp. My days of crawling under cars to mod them are long gone and as long as it starts and runs when I need it to I'm fairly happy. I'd love to stick a turbo on it, or maybe a BV head and throttle bodies but it's too much work.

Having said that I love the Focus to bits. Best car I've ever owned. It goes round corners like a race car compared to anything I've had before and still floats over the bumps like a magic carpet. Modern OE suspension systems are so damn good compared to the live axle crap of 30 years ago.
