How strange, you collect a fiesta, yet consider a Merc 63 to be an awful POS. I know which I would sooner have.i picked up my fiesta st this time last week. so just missed out on the 65 plate.

Thanks mate. Fits the bill perfectly for us and looks a bit more interesting than a 3 series, and a 5 series would be too big. Plus, its a niche car so we'll see a lot less of them on the road.
and to the others who commented on it... glad ya like it.
Its a lovely car mate and I hope you enjoy it. The front is quite well done I must admit, less anodyne than an Audi, less melty than some Merc's.and to the others who commented on it... glad ya like it.

Not for me though, a few years ago I'd have been happy with one of the German marques, but now I am just indifferent. Nice pieces of engineering though. Could maybe have a Mercedes.... but yeah, ze Germans just not pushing me buttons.
In fact, I am becoming quite apathetic towards most modern cars. I am very interested in the engines and engine technology though (especially what they do with model based engine calibration, but thats my day job so I should hope so!).

we do...had our new 4 series delivered very kindly by BMW a day before the '65 kicked in on Monday. (For this reason it had to stay on the drive and couldn't be driven till yesterday)
safe to say we love it.
The 4 door version of the 2 door version of the 4 door car, I thought these were a myth.safe to say we love it.
We have a new Transit and the boss has a new Yugo Cayenne.
Had mine delivered yesterday. Diesel Mercedes Benz E220, falls down on the fuel but gains being the AMG Night Edition.
Proberbly a topic for another thread but I am starting to think that cars have too much technology in them these days. Mine has a gadget which we have already termed ''mother' - it warns and beeps when too close to the car in front.

Yep just picked ours up. Cooper S convertible in eclipse grey with a modest sprinkling of options. Got a good deal as an in-stock car at month end, and less than a week from deposit to delivery. Going to be a fun car to own I think. If the better half ever lets me near it.
Nice car. Best colour too.hacksaw said:

t is a strange turn of phrase. It may well be ugly and not to your liking, but think that it is probably a long way from being a piece of st. irfan1712 said:

That looks fantastic.safe to say we love it.
Something about those houses screamed "valleys", then spotted the plate on the golf and realised my friend lived across the road from you.
Small world.
Two highlights from yesterday were a red civic type r near hopwood services on the m42 and a nardo grey rs6 on Bristol road, birmingham.
The civic looked great in red and, as others have said, much nicer in the flesh.
The rs6 just looks so right to my eyes.
Today's best was an sq5. Also saw my first rs3 heading into cambridge, but alas a 15 plate so doesn't count.
