Who here owns a Fiesta ST?

sounds good,

who did you lease from?

I've just taken a lease 5 months ago and it's good to hear they are not overly zealous with stone chips as i have a few already!

I just hope that by the time my 2 years is up that there is a decent hybrid or EV hot hatch on the market.

Gateway2lease, they have a wear and tear booklet, basically, no scratches longer than 10cm and x amount per panel, same as stone chips, allowed so many per panel.

The chap spent 30mins checking each panel with a hawk eye, it was quite amazing the detail they go to, i guess its in their own interest really

That's more surprising than my car as I'm currently coming up to 2 years and hit 24k the other week as it's driven daily, although whether you garage it or not won't affect how many stone chips you get. I've got some in really odd places :/

I saw a MO ST at RS Combe on the weekend that I first saw at a meet nearly 2 years ago, so almost identical age to mine (it's probably slightly older) and it looks like it's barely been driven within that time. Every panel looked immaculate and even the black rubber trims looked brand new as they didn't look sun-aged at all. Oh what I'd give for a garage :(

yep, has some obscure stone chips locations too, so much i have realised no matter how careful you are with the cars they will still get damaged.
 
Went to Ford Fair a week or so ago. Had a great time!

Some great photos there! My car was hidden amongst that sea of Mk7s on the FiestaSTOC.com stand.

What camera + lens(es) were you using?

Cheers! 5D Mark ii with a Sigma 35mm F/1.4 Art lens. Never leaves the camera. Hoping to upgrade to the 5D Mark iv when it's released.

Mines the panther black one with Kernow flags on the plates. :)
 
I didn't go this year but went last, I thought it was a good show, no fools knocking around or anything, enjoyed it!

The white ST above looks perfect!
 
For my sins I am getting an ST200 on the 1st September. A moment of madness as I was happy with my ST-3 and given what you get for the extra cost is probably not really worth it.

Unplugged the symposer today to see what difference it made. The ecoboost engine is surprisingly quiet. You don't get the raspy sound when you floor it without it, you can really hear the induction noises though :D
