I've never been in one of those. Quite glad too, the quality looks piss poor ;)

Went out to take a quick look in the neighbors car and....James, I´m pretty sure you got this one right. The idiotic door handle/speaker -system was the give away, wasn´t it?

almost :cheesy: , its a mk4 fiesta , the one with the ugly oval headlights and gaping grill :oops: . i only bought it cos im stuck for a car for work untill i sell my harley , i did consider another 406 but i wanted something cheap to run ( £15 of petrol has so far lasted me 120 miles and still dont need to put any in :cheesy: ) and when her indoors passes her test she can keep it , so watch out for a burgundy fiesta in the south wales area in a few months , if you see it give her a wide berth :cheesy: . i gave her a first driving lesson last night and i aint stopped shaking yet :shock: all was going well untill we got to a corner and she panicked cos she didnt know what to do so ploughed straight onto the other side of the road narrowly missing the kerb :shock: , lucky we was on a deserted industrial estate :shock: . look out BSM here she comes :cheesy:

What, on God's green earth, possessed you to buy such a ... thing? They are tiny and I am sure a diesel 406 would give you the same mileage as this toy.... :?

I thought it was a ford by the handle. I remember driving a works one of those, great fun cars to drive. Like the Ka, well chuckable. Anyway, any port in a storm. And there's many a time I wish I had a car I wasn't so paranoid about.
