Hello!
I’m Dan, 40, a chef and dad of 4 living in Buckinghamshire but originally from Preston.
I’ve always been interested in cars since a young age and after saving up I bought my first car, a H reg Fiesta which leaked in every corner!! Over the years I then moved onto a gold E reg Escort XR3i, L reg 1.8 TD escort, X reg 1.8 ford focus M1 and 09 reg 1.6 TDci Mk2.5 ford focus. I sold my MK2.5 and decided to upgrade….
I first started my Ford Focus ST journey with a panther black M3.5 diesel back in March 2015 when I moved down to Hertfordshire as I was travelling a long distance to work and to see family in Preston. I done a lot of modifications to this which you will see in one of the photos included.
I owned this for just over 4 years until I changed to a job closer to home and started using the wifes car for the long journeys up to Preston (she can have the mileage!) so I wasn’t doing the mileage to justify a diesel.
I couldn’t give up the ST lifestyle so changed to a race red 2015 plate petrol with the Mountune 275 package. It wasn’t long before I started modifying this into the MSD 340 beaST you see in the photos.
Here is a list of the mods I have had done so far….

I am always looking for new ideas and modifications (despite the wife telling me I’ve spent enough money on the car and should treat her!) I am hoping to get some track time in the near future and possibly show it off at a few local car shows.
