I saw an orange one on M11 about 3 or 4 weeks ago! Probably one of the first on the roads. I think its real nice! Not seen a blue one in the flesh yet!

I live just off the M11 at Stansted. My next door neighbour had an imperial Blue one on his drive for the last couple of days so probably him.

Looks nice but he said the fuel consumption is awful.

Like you say, looks nice, but when it looks so good and goes so well, would ya really care about fuel consumption... I know I wouldn't! I'd even get a second job!!

He reckons was getting about 18/19 to the gallon. Thats pretty bad and I agree that who should care. He also said its great to drive. Been using it for a few days and is running it at Bedford all this week. Its the launch there for Ford so if you want to see them hooning around a track thats the place to go as they have 30 of them there!!!

Funny thing is I am sure Clarkson said it was cheap to run on top gear????
