Default My new car

I know its not a Ford, but what do you think?

It's only a 90PS but its in lovely condition and good price, so I had to have it

















Got my head unit in there too this morning

Cheers guys

I'm really pleased with it so far

Kev, the standard head unit had to go, it wasn't bad for a standard unit, but the Alpine makes it so much clearer all round.

It will probably get chipped but not for a good few months

I paid Ł5050 for it, with 24,000 miles as you can see
