Hey everyone, names mark and i drive a Puma Not everyones cup of tea but iv wanted it ever since my uncle brought it new in 1999, i was only 9, and he promised me one day i could have it. When he wanted a new fiesta he swapped me for my 206 and traded that in. He didnt use the puma too much so it was only on 17,000 when i got it a little less then a year ago. At the moment its standard apart from some new wheels that iv completly gone off now. Im hoping to get some coilovers for it and fit the side skirts that are sitting in my grandads garage. Then maybe some mild tuning upgrades. Anyway here she is

Thanks for sorting the pics out mate, was doing my head in Thanks for the welcome. I agree it does need some lowering it sits realy high at the back. Theres loads of bits and pieces i want for it but im only 19 so i need to choose carefully, i dont want my insurance to get any worse than it is!!

Yeah its the 1.7. To start with i couldnt beleive it was mine and he rememberd promising me it all those years back. Its such a step up from anything iv ever driven its not the most powerfull of cars but as a package, the engine and suspension just seem so suited and so able. You can feel it could take more power but im very happy just to do the usual mild stuff and get it sounding a little nicer.
