Default Where did Focus drivers come from?

Just noticed a trend, a lot of Focus owners have come from E-series Falcons or Lasers.

Myself, I came from an EF Falcon Futura, before that I was in a N12 Pulsar.

I liked the Focus because it sorta combined the 2 together, the fun-ness and chuckability of the Pulsar (~700kg car) with power, comfort and room to move of the Falcon.

The Pulsar had an 2.25 exhaust with a sport muffler, with 48kw flywheel the thing used to scream! (it had to to get anywhere) It was a light car with heaps of weight up front. On the 13" rims I put 185s at the front and 155s at the rear and it made it have preference to oversteer, but still was able to kick up a rear wheel going through roundabouts (probably had something to do with the shot suspension). Eventually I shredded first gear and the teeth demolished all the other gears quickly.

The Falcon was inherited from my parents. Stock and boring. They still have it sitting in their garage.
