all went well cheers until the end of the night

was parked up in mcdonalds sitting their with the ignition off, and the heater fan decides to work then the secs monitor comes on, with no ignition!! so i started the car and turned it off and they went off like normal, then a few seconds later they both come back on again so i start it up again then turn the key off take it out and the car's still running!!! so i'm a bit confused now, thought i'll disconnect the battery and try again and it still run's so i stalled it to stop the engine connect the battery up and the secs monitoer and heater fan still work with the ignition off, thought to my self fuck it i'll drive home and worry about it when i get home, when i pulled off i'm sure i heard a relay click behind the dash, when i got home pulled up turned the key and it turned off straight away and everything was fine!! oh yeah when it was playing up the alarm wasnt arming either,

any one got any ideas?

apart from that mate it was wicked the amount of attention it got was pleasing even had a couple of blokes today behind me in a van taking pictures, i said to my self that i would take it easy in it last night, but got a bit carried away, dives so much nicer than my saph so much more controlable when it goes sideways

now that´s an awesome black 3dr!!!!

Although I normally like white 3drs better, I have to say that this one looks and I would never change the colour on this one!

Will you be at Ford Fair this year? If you will be, I HAVE to a look at your car!
