Anyone know why Henning Solberg's car is still in the orange colour of Expert but totally devoid of any Expert (or any other sponsor) logo's?Quote:

Google translated
Pros:
The balance is much better than in the Focus.
The Fiesta is better tham the Focus on tarmac
The spare wheel is in the middle of the car
Cons:
Fiesta is more nervous on fast sections due to the shorter wheelbase.
The functionally rev band is quite narrow.
The handbrake is not as good as in the Focus.
Very strange indeed. Who will payed?Quote:

JML is talking about the second spare wheel. Focus was basically designed to carry only one spare in the "rear tyre compartment" but when there was two spare tyres, the second one had to be placed to a very bad place (rear) inside the car.Quote:
