I had a test drive in a Fiesta today!!!

It had done 36miles on the clock when i got into it and when i got out... a conciderable amount more

My Views

First Impressions

Clutch was much longer than the Focus
Accelerator was shorter
Ride Felt Higher but very cosey
Ride Firm and very stable round corners
Felt every bump in the road
Steering heavy - way it should be.

The Drive was brilliant...

1st and 2nd wern't 2 impressive but 3,4,5 were very very impressive... and kept pulling.

The car was very very nice to drive... just felt natural... everything went and the car just wanted to go faster.

Heres some pics i took of it!







I love it

The car just seems to look good however. If anyone can find a picture that makes it look rubbish then ill give them my "Limited Edition Ford Fiesta ST" brochure as featured on eBay.

Wait a few days untill that lucky bloke that recieved his black ST today posts a picture after using the car. I so love that black but I'm sooo scared it will show every speck of dirt. Oh I hate cleaning.

Just figured out why Ford give you a high seating position, its so when your reversing you can see over there damn dealer stickers in the window!

They certainly are! They originate from the phrase "The Dogs Bollocks" which is used to say that something is absolutely fabulous.

How it comes about that a dogs testicles means such a thing however I have no idea.

It's always especially noticable on black cars. I had a black Mondeo Zetec S TDCi and it looked rediculously high. Identical silver ones looked fine despite not actually being any lower.
