The motoring world was left in shock today after a man called Gary bought a Focus ST and DIDN’T immediately modify it.

Gary Chavinberry of Dagenham bought the hot hatch last week, and has since resisted the urge to cover it in and glue and drive it through the Ripspeed aisle of Halfords. This has left used car experts in turmoil, as Gary’s actions (or lack of) have set a dangerous precedent for Garys elsewhere.

Speaking on the matter, John Johnson from the organisation, Cars – Used, New & Trade offered his insight into the shocking behaviour of Chavinberry. “It’s not on, really, is it? If he buys a Focus ST and refuses to modify it, Garys up and down the country are going to start following suit. Where will this leave insurance companies and sellers of stolen alloy wheels on Facebook Marketplace? They’re going to go broke.”
