Fester Zetec S is a hoot and there's a fair chance my next demo will be one (that or a Focus Zetec S, but diesel).

If she's looking at new, the facelift is imminent, so choices are built 1.6 120PS stock units or factory ordered (Jan delivery) 1.0 EcoBoost 120PS. There's a 180PS 1.6 EcoBoost ST on the way too, can't wait to play with that one.

If used, then I might just have a few - as will Gandalf of course. smile
we have a few 125bhp ones about at the moment, and they're gems, we're also about
to de-fleet some 100bhp ones (including my own properly run in example
with 4000 on it) and we're getting some 6sp 125bhp one from this week, which we'll run
for three months and then they're up for sale

if you fancy one pm me and i'll see what's what..
I didn't realise they did two engines or is one petrol and one diesel?

No they're both variants of the same engine, just different mapping and a 6sp box in the 125bhp model

Tonight's car-themed TV entertainment consists of:

Classic Car Rescue on Channel 5 at 8pm - if you like shouting at the TV; and

The Golden Age of the British Sports Car on BBC4 at 9pm - which will probably be a whole lot better than the programme.

It appears to have been sportified, with the seats and IS splitter, but I like both and the original seats would probably be looking a little worn by now anyway.

Pocket-money fun.
Hell of a pocket-money quotient, but tempting nonetheless.

This one has had the majority of bits done

You'd be far better off watching 5th gear on Discovery at 20:00 tonight. F40 25th Anniversary and CLK63 AMG Black versus a BMW of some sort.....

Good work on the Legacy chum, as I think I mentioned via PM they really are fantastic devices.

I really don't think you can go wrong with one of these yes
Yes you did and you were a big help, thanks! They really do appear to make a compelling case for a good value allrounder.

Here's a picture



and here's a shot of its stablemate that I meant to include in my previous ramble

Gravy - very good to hear you've purchased something on a whim, from a distance, unseen, trusting in the power of PH. It's the way all good car purchases should go!
Indeed. A bit like when Vixpy bought that Range Rover at the other end of the country, which Lefty had given the professional once over.
hehe
Like that is it?

I really like these and I think the fact that they're as cheap as a dull hatchback really makes the poor mpg an irrelevance.
