The brakes are really sharp Was in a bit of a rush after picking the Focus up as i had a lecture. Got into the uni car park and it was full so i'm raging the old tart around around 20 - 25 MPH. Went to turn around whilst braking and got into a skid and just missed the side of a wall by mms Ended up parking on the grass in the end too

I've skidded a few times, usually for fun, but I don't come on here and tell people. The fact you nearly broke your new motor reinforces everyone's opinions that you're a tool...

Does it have ABS? Twin Airbags and a CD player?
Out of curiosity how did you miss the wall by millimeters?

It has twin air bags and CD Player. Not sure if it's got ABS, i'll have to look in the hand book. Loving the thing that says how many miles to a gallon your apparetly doing It's a Ghia model and in need of some alloys 
I thought i had hit the wall (heard a sort of noise but must have been the skid) so got out and had a look and there was half an inch between the bricks and bumper Was well lucky.
