Fiesta Turbo's are great fun, ya gonna have to search and buy a goodun though, loads been messed with, booted, parts changed and swapped around, if you can find a good one with excellent bodywork, you should been on the right track, Mechanicals can be sorted out.

i guess its the worry of an unreliable car, her S2 was a bit of a pain, got it all sorted but then some pikey gits kept trying to take it!

not sure if she could trust a 1992 car to get her to the train station each day (and be there when she gets back)

but i want her to have another turbo'd car, i used to drive the S2 all the time then the focus could stay all clean and cosy in the garage

i look a little gay in the ka

Hiya I run a fezzie Turbo as a second car. It is a very practical car to drive for everyday use. I wouldn't it was cheap to run but is a lot of fun. My real fun car is a 2wd Sapph.

TBH, if your stations are anything like the ones round here, then I definitely wouldn't leave an FRST in one every day. My GF has a 206 Hdi as her daily drive which she can leave anywhere without too many worries. Her toy is an FRST. She won't leave that anyway for more than 5 minutes!

TBH the KA's got to be the more safer, reliable, sensible bet than the 13yr old FRST.

But the FRST will be the more fun.

The choice is yours...

thanks for the comments people

i think some scumb would try to nick it tbh

shes worried about that as well (someone tried to nick her S2)

the sportka is quite good fum for a little car, i just like the idea of another turbo car, i really wanna get her and Esc cos but i KNOW that would be taken in 5 mins.....bloody world we live in eh?
