Blue 1.1 H plate (MK3?) first car, excellent car

1.8 Diesel G plate fiesta van, same shape but with panels instead of windows at the back. Another good car if not a little noisy.

I Had F Plate 950cc for a few months as a winter run around! Bought it for Ł50 with 90k on the clock. I abuse it, got 95mph out of it down hill with strong tail wind Was more scary than doing 150mph+ in cossie! lol

I done burnouts in it everything! Sold it on for Ł50 And i seen the thing 3 months ago after 4 years of me owning it They go forever aslong as the rust stays away

Just got interviewed on BBC Asain Network radio regarding the 30th birthday of the Ford Fiesta. Bloody PC decides to reboot itself just before the interview started hence I didn't manage to record it. LOL

My first two cars were mk1(?) 1.1 fiestas

CTM557T - yellow
HRX235W - light blue

(not 100% about the number plates but not far off).

The last one had more hifi than the car cost

I almost bought a mk2 XR2, but ended up with a Reno 5 GTL

XR-RS - I love the look of the mk1 mate, have you got a post in the rebuild/restoration section for it?

Cheers,
