PETER MEARS MK3 FOCUS ST
Pete is new to the modified Ford scene, getting his hands on this tidy Mk3 Focus ST just a few months ago. In his day job Pete is a three-principals practitioner (hence the 3p-Pete nickname and private plate on the car); this means he does sterling work in the community helping those who suffer with addiction. As and ex-addict himself, Pete knows the damage drugs and booze can cause, so he’s found a new vice in modifying Fords. It might not be cheap and the urge to do it again only gets stronger, but it sure is a lot of fun – and looking at your modified Ford on the driveway is one enormous high no matter what else is going on around you.
In the months that Pete has owned his ST he’s really gone to town; already it boasts a Dreamscience Stage 2 remap, a race cat, Ramair induction kit, Bola B8R alloys, and a custom painted Zunsport grille showing the Dreamscience logo.
Pete’s recently attended his first show at the Ford Nationals. “When I arrived, I was asked what club I was in, but I didn’t have one,” recalls Pete. The organisers pointed him in the direction of the Central ST Owners Club, and Pete says the guys made him feel welcome. So much so, that Pete will be on their stand at Ford Fair too.
