Works runabout

[scorchio69]

So after putting up the shite collection thread in the wrong sub section I thought I would at least put up some pics in the right section . The indicator issue has been rectified by replacing the GEM under the steering colum so a nice cheap fix oh and a alarm sounder that went doolally on the way home from collecting it but this was just a simple disconnect job.

Its very far from perfect but with a full years ticket it will do for those shitty days to and from work when I can’t be arsed taking my mountain bike , plus buys me time to decide what car I actually want .

Looking at the car it has cheap winter tyres fitted only too the front and regular cracked rear tyres so some new boots will be in order, the front bumper needs painted by someone other than stevie wonder , but it drives straight with no unusual knocks or bangs .

Young lad at work had one of these when he started, other than a snapped front spring he said it has been the most fun car he's ever had, (of which consists of an A5, Range Rover and a X1 BMW)

I think they're starting to look good.

Good buy 😎

Cheers it’s a pokey wee thing for just kicking about especially after having driven my wife’s new Kia Sportage that’s about exciting as watching a football match 😛, it’s going to need rear shocks as hitting a transition section on the dual carriageway at Marshall’s trailers ( for the aberdeen loons on here 👍) the car tried its best to throw me all over the road

This generation of Fiestas are just great.  I had one for years and it was incredibly chuckable, even though mine was a lowly 1.4.  Zetec spec though, which was nice.

I agree, mine was a even lowlier 1.25 Style so not quite povvo spec but not far off, but still a nice car. I had mine for 12 years and 173k miles.
