Hi, all just thought I'd introduce myself, I've owned my 05 Fiesta ST for roughly 8 weeks now and being an old boy (41) it's made driving fun again.

Coming from a Citroen van to my ST the power is something of a eye opener, has nearly caught me out once or twice, mostly on corners/roundabouts in the rain, but hey nearly dying let's you know your alive!

I will try to get some pic's up soon, but I first have to replace the four centre cap's that some scumbag nicked last night , I suppose that's what I get for having a midlife crisis and treating myself.

Bye for now

Matt

Hi, all and thanks for the welcome, I've been a surfing this site for weeks now so I felt that it's about time I took the plunge and joined in. I'm thinking of going to the Ford Fair but have'nt made up my mind yet!

Cheers

Matt

Hi, Josh92 here is a little more about my ST, it's a 05 in white with red side decals, 70,000 on the clock, un-moded, but that might change! I bought it of a family member for £2600, as it has some damage and no service history, the damage is only slight, front bumber cracked and a/c rad broken, had a full service done cost £420.00 due to knackered water pump.

Cheers

Matt

Welcome along Matt, red side stripes is not a factory thing so I guess you could call it modded lol, have you got any plans for it besides the repair? Get some pics up so we can see if we can spot any more mods Come to Ford Fair and pluck up the courage to come over and say hi at our stand and we'll all make you feel welcome

Hi, all thanks for the welcome, I think I'm going to be saying that alot, as you're all very friendly, which is great.

Rob I'm in good old Swindon Town m8. Due to weather conditions I can't take pic's at the mo, but I will get to grips with photobuckets website and try to put some up asap.

Cheers

Matt
