Thought you'd like them

Need to get my other one back on the road soon... hopefully not too much longer now.

Were those pictures taken at head height?

Any progress update on the green one mate?

agw_01 · 24 May 2010 at 01:16

Some good pics there Andy. Shame the Fiesta is a very 'chav'.

Cheers Pete. That means a lot coming from you

The Fiesta is alright. A bit too much black going on but it looks pretty good in the flesh.

New company transport. I managed to find one with a few upgrades from the usual Titanium spec

2.0 TDCI 140
Leather/Alcantara Interior
Front/Rear Parking Sensors
Adaptive Cruise Control
Bi-Xenons
Upgraded Stereo and Speakers
Sports Pack with 18" Alloys

Loads nicer to drive than my previous Mondeo Zetec. A bigger car yet far more nimble.

Very nice, and seems to look a bit more special than most. Put a few thousand miles on it, drive it nice, and I'll have it in a couple of years to replace my Mk3

Prophet · 24 May 2010 at 22:32

I've got it for another 3.5 years mate so I'll let you know

It really is a lovely car. I went for the booted version which IMHO really makes the care feel more solid. No more noise from the boot etc.

The only thing I wish the car had is a nice V6 engine. The diesel unit isn't bad but.....

I'll get some shots of the interior up in a mo.

edit... The pictures don't do the seats justice at all.

Captain_Slick · 24 May 2010 at 22:44

Those seats do look excellent. Mmmm. Seats.

Yup

Saying that when you're moving it's really quiet, well unless you're giving it some beans. There's also the slight diesel vibration you can't get away from.

Nice, I had a hire car in what looks like the same spec too, with that stupid full colour TFT in the instrument panel that looks like it should be sat-nav but isn't

I could have had the satnav option in another car but the overall spec was far less. Plus as you say that's not where the satnav goes

Also the satnav stereo isn't as good as they Sony unit.

Will just have to keep the TomTom lol.

140 bhp in a car that big :eek:

. Must be slow as hell. Still, it's a company car so....

Nope, it's fine for what it is.

Hxc · 25 May 2010 at 15:36

Don't think I ever posted pics of this mini? two photos edited v. differently cause I was messing around in PS and didn't care that much

I'd imagine it's just fine. It's not like it's built for drag racing, it's built for trundling up and down motorways all day.

Nice one Hxc, is that a union jack on the roof as well?

Is this a new one? Thought you had a GT...
