It is a talking point, the wife refers to it as the 'boob tube'. I'm not sure if she's doing this on purpose to wind me up.

Is that the Eonin headunit? ^
Not sure what one of those is! It's the Ford/Sony MP3/CD player with inbuilt 6 disc changer and ipod connector in the armrest, although it was £30 for the Y cable. £30!!

Just joined up and spotted this thread.

Currently on my first Ford.

Love the car but it's got a little rust issue that's half repaired on the drivers side. So I only ever photograph the passenger side smile

Really need to finish repairing it to be honest.

Best mod ever for the pre-facelift.

I don't know what Ford were thinking with the standard plastics.

Painting cost money...

Must admit, it was the first thing I had done with my ST220.

Be interested to know what MPG it returns.

Shame no 3 door... hopefully there will be a Fiesta ST that scratches that itch.

29mpg after 600 gentle miles, but much of that was in and around town so I'd hope to do better with a bit of restraint

35mpg on the cards?

Any chance of a rear shot? Not seen the ST estate from the rear.

Must say, saw one of these on the road the other day and was very, very impressed.

The problem with that car is it just isn't very photogenic. In the flesh it looks really solid.

I'll deploy the cameraphone this weekend - looks pretty normal from the back except for the flat central exhaust. Nothing too shouty at all. Mpg is now up to 31 thanks to a day on the M1. I'm sensing this might be about it for me since it does take a lot of restraint. Someone with steely control might do a bit better though.

And now for something completely different... biggrin

1954 Ford Customline "Fordor". 239 V8, Fordomatic. Soon to get a 292 and Tri-Power and an Isky cam. 54 Was the first year for OHV V8s and ball joint front suspension.



for only 130 Horsepower and a very tired engine (rings, lots of blowby) she still more tha. Keeps up with traffic!



And here's my posh Ford. 1960 Lincoln Premiere coupe. One of 1,356 built that year and very few left. Factory power windows, power seat, Air Conditiong and rarest of the rare, factory cruise control! 430 cubic inch V8, 315hp with a 2bbl (a 600cfm 2bbl mind you) but I have a 4bbl intake from a 1959 that'll bring that back up to 350hp. But 465 lb-ft of torque!

It's also a Unibody. If you know old style tire sizes.. Its on 9.50-14s. 30.5" tall 14s!
