Hey all,

Have just taken delivery of a white festa ST with stripes for my girlfriend. Im actually pleasantly surprised with the cars drivability and its pretty punchy. I have just purchased a Renaultsport 197 cup, so the better half also wanted something fairly sporty which looked the part.

Anyway ill stop ranting on, just wanted to say hi. Nice forum you have here.

Look forward to future meets and some discussion.

Hello!

Welcome to the site, you are sure to find great people here! Bet it will be hard to either choose what car to drive!

Get some pictures of both cars up if you have any!

Enjoy the site!

Paul

Hey Paul, thanks for the welcome. I only drove the Fiesta from where we purchased it, and since getting back the girlfriend refuses to let me drive it! lol. In any case my car is very very addictive, so im not to put out.

I will be sure to dig up some pics matey.

One more thing can i ask what part of essex your from, as we are from Harlow??

Anyone else from Harlow, as the search function is not really helping much?

I don't blame your girlfriend, I wouldn't even let my girlfriend drive it when I brough it lol...

I live in Grays, Essex. Think there are a few from Essex but not too close where we live. An ST meet must be done to meet everyone! Essex Power lol!

Is the ST brand new?

Thanks for the very kind welcome guys. Yes im pretty lucky to have access to 2 pretty nice cars. The 197 is a fair bit quicker than the Fiesta and gets a lot of attention ( be that good or bad ) but the ST is an amazing bit of kit, and really surprised me, as i had some bad Ford experiences with a Fiesta RS turbo and Escort series 1 Turbo.

Again great site you guys have here.

BTW guys how on earth do you post pics up?? If its obvious...im sorry! lol

We normally have our own image uploader to enable this, but unfortunately it's a little poorly at the moment and we're still trying to get it fixed.

In the meantime, you need to use photobucket or something similar. You then need to include the links by using image tags around the links such as: [img]http://......[/img]

Hope this helps.
