hi im craig atkinson and this is my focus st diesel that im keeping standard 

my Instagram is @craigfocusst3

well it all started as i think it does for most, toy cars on the bedroom floor on a car mat, 

i started to collect, 1 18 Diecast cars from about 14, i use to save my paper round money and go to the local toy shop (collectors corner) and buy new ones, i was always a big ford fan 

When I was 15 I got ill and ended up in hospital for about 4 weeks, while there the doctor said to my mum and dad I needed something to keep my mind on something to work at so i could get myself out of hospital. 

I had a half day release from hospital and ended up going out and buying a mk1 focus,

On my bedside cabinet i had 2 model cars a focus and a escort cosworth both with martini rally decals, so i said to my mum i want mine to look like that, so with a helping hand from a few my first car was done, after a few other cars i finally ended back in a focus, this time it was a pre facelift mk2 focus st225 in panther black, 

This car was the car that got me into oval owners club, where i am now an admin with my partner Zoe Varley, alongside clubs owners, craig weston and natalie weston, we have a great club with over 12k members on facebook (give us a like ) or follow us on instagram @ovalowners 

we attend many car shows and even had our own charity car show raising over £7k for sepsis uk, we hold monthly meets at autobrite direct where we get over 100 cars attending each month.

anyway a bit about my mk3 st, i was talking to zo and i said if i could get my hands on a focus st3 mk3 diesel in stealth grey i would trade in the mk2, after a trip to the local ford dealership there she was sat the exact car we had talked about but the salesman said she was sold 

a few days later i had a phone call saying the sale had fell through and did i want the car 

since then the car has had a few 

modifications:

• pumaspeed 1r map 
• stage 3 intercooler 
• k&n induction kit
• mongoose dpf back exhaust
• h&r lowering springs 
• mk3 rs brembo upgrade 
• full ksb low line splitter kit 
• vents by nick wiley 
• purple gel inlays by sk graphics 
• 19" Riviera rv135 alloys in a custom lambo bronze 
• full wrap in 3m flip psychedelic 

I've owned the car for coming upto 3 years next month and i love it just as much if not more than the day i picked it up, 

we have even got our 3rd trip booked for the nurburgring in october
