Looks like a little tounge tickle.... although she's got her butt sticking out so maybe she has had a spillage because of the tounge tickle and doesn't want to drip on the goats jeans !? :lol:

That is a rather exagerated arse-sticking out pose.

Maybe Captain had a stiffy and she brushed against it but then pulled away for the photo???

Holy thread resurrection Batman!

Nearly 8 years later and it's new car for the wife time again. This one's a Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost 125 Titanium X, yup that's the tiny little 1 litre turbo engine that they're now fitting to the Focus and indeed the Mondeo :shock: , but in the Fiesta its a sprightly little bugger :twisted: . Titanium X so we've got heated half levvers, keyless entry, cruise, climate... plenty of toys 8) . Oh and, most importantly, it's dark blue again! :lol:

Looking good, Dai. Same colour as my MIL's B-Max... with the same engine. Not convinced on it yet, though!

Very nice! I still think '07' platers are quite new but when you think they're 8 years old :o

The Ecoburst engine is a little gem apparently. My cousin works for Ford (in the transmissions bit though) but they found that owners liked the sound of the 3-pot so much that it encouraged them to rev it more :) subsequently they weren't seeing the fuel economy that was expected. It's a clever unit, there's a Ford video on Youtube about how it works.

I think you'd enjoy driving that Dai as much as Mrs_Dai.

Cars don't seem to age these days. The Volvo S40 I went to see was 11 years old but didn't look older than 5.

I have to say one thing I don't like about new cars is the dash board designs :( why do they obsess with tying to make everything look like a Power Ranger's Helmet :? to me a dash should be simple and elegant not all pointy and shouty.
