For focus - Boris mk1 focus - S40 Man

Just watched the news and Boris Johnson came on and drove off in a black ml 1 focus. I was slightly surprised, not sure what i thought he might have. Probably be can't be seen in a German or v French car right now?

Not that a Focus is actually a UK built car. Cameron was at least seen to buy Sam Cam a £1,500 Nissan Micra built in Sunderland, but that didn't win Sunderland for Remain.

I saw that too. The car was missing the driver's-side mirror pod and had visible dents and scuffs. I suspect it's his 'city' car: unobtrusive and so cheap that it doesn't matter if it gets dinged / scraped. And he can afford the congenstion charge :)

I thought now theres a man with a common touch what next is he going to be seen buying a part at the local breakers lol.In time he may work his way up to say a 2007 motor but time must be hard at the moment for him so he had to stick with the Focus at this time.

All part of the carefully designed image to make us think he is one of us 'normal' people.

I think he also has an old Toyota Previa (he and his wife has four children). He earns a lot of mney from booms and journalism but probably believes in keeping cars until they drop.

For focus - Boris mk1 focus - John F

BoJo is a classicist, doing 'poorly at science and maths' according to Wiki. This makes me deeply suspicious of his ability to understand economics, concepts and logical arguments - heaven help us if he becomes PM. I suspect he has as much interest in cars as backroomers have in fridges.

Although I applaud his wise/serendipitous choice of a Mk1 Focus!
