"I stumbled on my SVT Focus by accident. In early 2002, I was visiting a buddy of mine in Michigan who had already bought a silver SVT Focus (they hadn't made their way to Canada just yet). He tossed me the keys and let me take it for a spin. I drove it, and fell completely in love. In March 2002, I picked up one of the first black 2002 SVT Focuses to hit my dealership's lot.

"Since taking delivery, I have added a set of Eibach Pro-Kit springs and added a nice tint job to this great looking package. To make car shows a lot more fun, a Sony Playstation 2 system and in-dash DVD system were added to the mix. Other than that, I love how my car drives, handles, and tackles all my daily tasks. SVT really did a wonderful job in creating such a pocket rocket right off the showroom floor.

"Without my SVTF, I would have never found out about SVTOA. Since joining, I've become very active in putting together various shows and events for our chapter. I have also made a lot of new and interesting friends, too. So, keep those chocolate lava cakes coming and maybe we'll meet at our next event!"
