I probably should have posted here already, my bad.
Bought my F.ST yesterday, picking it up on Monday. I traded in my SportKA. Although I know alot of people frown upon any kind of KA, the SportKA is a great car, with superb handling. Pretty much like a big go-kart. However, I've had my eye on the F.ST since it came out and after test driving it and opening her up, I couldn't turn her down! Awesome car!

Anyway, it's cool to be here. Glad I found this forum.

Hi Richie, welcome to the site.

I'm sure that you're looking forwards to getting your ST. Your right about the SportKa being a good car - I had one as a hire car a few years back when I was on holiday in the Isle of Man, and found it a great little car to drive!

Hey Richie,

Welcome to the site. Great to here that your loving the Thats what it's all about.

Theres lots going on and with the new Event and Show season coming up, make sure you have a good look. Would be great to meet new people and have a great natter

Welcome Richie

Sport Ka is a great little car my brother had an imperial blue one and he loved it. I borrowed it while having some warranty work done to my RS and loved it shame it wasn't 16 valve really.
Any way welcome to the site hope to see you at future shows and events this year

Hey Richie,

Welcome to the site. From reading the other post you made it sounds like your loving your ST already and it is a cracking little car. Happy posting.

Hey guys thanks alot.
I am going to try and get on here alot over the course of the year, great bunch of people and I know I can learn alot more about my ST by taking part in this forum. I'd definitely be up for meeting people further down the line.

Anyway, I don't want to get into this too much, but one of my best mates died on Wednesday morning, I only found out last night. So I may be scarce for a while, but I'll definitely be back.

He was one of the first people I was going to show the new car to because he was such a car enthusiast as well. He had just bought a SAXO VTS (he loved Saxos, had a 1i, then a VTR previously) with performance enhanced, after working his ass off all Christmas. He was just promoted at his job too. I am kinda lost for words right now and not sure why I am even posting this here. In short I am devastated, he was only 22 years old and a helluva guy. May he R.I.P.

(Sorry to post this here, just venting I guess.)

Hello Richie, I am very sorry to hear about your mate. If you feel that it may help you cope with your grief feel free to post on this site as much as you wish. I'm sure no one will mind. We all hope that you will join us again soon.

Oh and welcome to the site.

I appreciate this guys. Many thanks.

Hi and enjoy!!

keep your chin up richie. this is the time in your life when you realise how crap the world can be, things get better in time. Im sure your mate was a lovely person which makes it all the more hard. best wishes

Sorry to hear about your mate. Loosing someone close is never an easy thing to deal with. You never get used to it but with time things do get easier. Take care matey.

Hi Richie

Sorry to hear your sad news. Try to remember the good times, I know it's hard at the moment because I have been through it myself.

Take Care

PS I have had two SportKa's and they were great, but I know you will love your ST even more.

Hey guys, thanks alot. I absolutely love the car, though I have plans to make some mods after a years time (when I turn 25), hopefully with no claims at all!

All the best to everybody.

Well, the car has taken my mind off stuff, as well as this forum. I have several mods planned, including new alloys, brake upgrade and a remap kit in the near future which will keep me busy. Then an induction kit/exhaust system in good time. I'll take some pics of the car soon, and hopefully I'll have the new alloys/brakes soon so I can take pics for comparison. Anyhow good to be here. Having a quiet night in tonight.

Yeah, I'll definitely try and get to a meet at some point.
Do you guys ever come up to Scotland? Knockhill for example.

Hey Richie, r u from scotland? If so i live up here too, glad to hear that your enjoying your car.

there a lot of person from scotland lately!
