so thought i'd celebrate by grabbing some photo's.
going in for it's 1st service on tuesday and then should be gone 2 months later, looks like i'm just going to get a white mk7 fiesta zetec s (new one) and enjoy cheap insurance, low maintenance costs and better than 18mpg for a couple of years

Nice, really wanted to see it with anthracite alloys though 
You got ride of the chequers then.
Im not keen on the back, but they look really nice from the back in the dark for some reason.

yeah i found the chequers chavvy after a while and loads of other st's up southend had them
i like them from the back better than the front. in the dark they look good due to the led rear lights

I think your going to regret having the new fez, i think working at ford has clouded your judgement ben

it's a matter of necessity rather than wanting one mate
saves me about £350-£400 a month just on finance, insurance and petrol so it's definitely worth it

no other decent cheap but nippyish cars in the ford range right now
focus is too big really, ka's too small and girly.
fiesta looks nice with the 17's and side skirts on and 120bhp isn't that bad, with the option of 140bhp with the mountune upgrade

Surely it would be better to buy something else better looking/faster/whatever second hand from another manufacturer?

Simple but it works 
Sits at the perfect height, Eibach springs should be optional extra tbh 
They should have put the RS badge on the new RS in the same place as your ST badge, would make so much more sense.
Make an epic effort and bring it to the beach meet next month
Here's to it hopefully not getting wrecked by the next owner

yes it would be but i have a stone chipped front bumper and 3 curbed alloys, pretty sure it'll get a shit p/x price from a non/ford dealer unfortunately
also, with a new car i don't need to worry about things going wrong or MOT's for 3 years.
dave, whats this beach meet you're talking about? sounds good and yeah the rs badge on the rear looks weird as hell, god knows why they did that

Will Ford not take the ST back at your agreed buy-back if you don't buy another new car then?

It'd be reet far for you mate, looking at Weston Super Mare at the moment which is a bit further than Bristol. It's 2 hours for me so it'd be quite a trip for you
Gonna be an SC/SW meet if the SW chaps are up for it me thinks, seeing as it's in their region.
Would be properly epic if we could get people from SE, SC and SW coming along, and maybe even West Mids Would be a bit ambitious though

yeah after 2 years i have an agreed minimum value of 11,500 or around that. the bloke already offered a p/x value of £14500 without even seeing the car, saying that's the worst price he would offer.
i only owe about £15000 after this months payment on the 30th so after it's service on tuesday i'm gonna clean it all up and take it in and ask for a price and also what options i have with regards to giving the vehicle back there and then and buying a cheap 2nd hand car (just a run around for a bit).

think i'd have to give that one a miss mate, already 800 miles over my yearly mileage band would be nice though!

Fair enough mate
If anyone else from SE fancies it, you could still come
Full on "South" meet would be awesome, but it's probably best if people decide on an individual basis whether they want to go that distance or not seeing as it'd be so far away from your end

Curbed wheels 
I would not be spending that sort of money on a car and damaging the wheels
My pug wheels are unmarked, shame other cunts keep hitting it with doors and using there key.
