Tommyboy12 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 I have learnt since joining a Fiesta owners club that Fiesta ST's are often referred to by owners as FiSTs.

Billy Blunder - Austin 1100/1300 I find it incredible that anyone remembers that PIF. As an aside, it is Mrs Blunder who comes up with the greatest meal suggestion of all time. I mean, who wouldn't look forward to coming home to a steaming plate of spaghetti and Brussels sprouts. No wonder they all drove like they wanted to die. For those who care. I implore you to watch to the end. The look on the face of the poor sod actor driving the Cortina says that this was Take 7.
