I thought it had to be registered in its home country to run on those plates? Don't you need to re-register it on German plates if it's no longer registered with the DVLA?

No its a weird system. Its on a system called the BFG net which means its not registered in Germany or DVLA. It keeps the UK plates and DVLA save the reg for when ever it re enters the country.

Ah, that could well be it. Is there any way to tell externally? What are the performance figures on yours?
Soldato
Nope I dont agree with it really but thats life. I think ford has done it to follow in VW's popular GTD etc. Shame they didnt badge it abit differently.
Its 250bhp, 350nm, 6.5sec to 60 and 155mph max.
Thanks

Assuming it's the petrol, a 0-62 of 6.7 secs (5.7 secs with the Montune package) is pretty darn fast for a £24k estate. Silly quick in its class would perhaps have been a better phrase.
Looks great - fast estate kudos
New Motor. Picked it up friday. So far super happy with it.
Lovely. Ford have the best front ends design wise in their class at the moment by far (Fiesta, Focus and Mondeo).

Unless my laptop is broke, it looks like one of those instagram photo's. Any normal photos?

I really want a Focus ST Estate.
You've got a shed load more power and torque than even the petrol ST though.
Are they? I encounter a grey hatchback version every few days on the D/C on the way to uni and I always manage to get away from him pretty easily. I remember the first time I encountered him I was genuinely unsure if he'd be quicker than me or not but my car seems significantly quicker, and I'm not sure I'd describe that as silly quick.
I know he's trying too, as he always gives me a quick flash of the lights before he turns off - it's turned into a bit of a ritual now

Haha I thought this too. A supercharged Jaguar V8 vs a ST...hmmm.

NickXX, that's fantastic! For the second time you've bought a car on my wishlist! Enjoy!

Well, having seen the figures it would appear I have!
I'm kind of surprised, I thought in this age of Golf R's and 335d's it'd be a bit quicker. Still more than adequate though!

To be fair isn't the Golf R like £10k more in price?
Bought a new car a few weeks ago:
Not buying it, tht looks like you photographed a toy car, I'm calling photoshop shennaigans.
In all seriousness though, it looks amazing! Still got the M3?

Those photos don't do that Aston interior justice at all.
Fantastic looking car, especially as it is nearly 10 years old. I would have it in silver metallic.

Lovely Aston. Congrats.

Congrats Nick, nearly bought a Vantage myself but there was just something about the R8 I enjoyed more, the vantage sounds better though when you remove that fuse!
