DrR's Race Red Fiesta ST-3

[imprezaworks]

And I complained it was raining lol

 

[Matthew]

I'm going to Austia in a few weeks. Hope it's snowing then!

 

[DrR]

Just booked in for first service, having it done slightly early as won't be in the UK (that I know of) until August.

Really don't want dealer monkeys touching it.

 

[DrR]

Well went to do the Stelvio pass over the weekend, and annoying it was closed! Still got to drive the bottom 3rd though.

[MarkCup]

Disappointed no handbrake and/or tyre smoke...you're letting the ST's image down!

As epic roads go though, that's right up there. Shame it was closed off.

 

[DrR]

Didn't mind it being closed to much, the other roads in the area were just as good!

I wasn't going to do anything that risked losing control, you should have seen the drops on those corners!

 

[DrR]

Well I picked up another car today, some of the hawk eyed amongst you might recognise it, separate thread will follow in time, means the ST is now officially for sale though

 

[Gally]

Jason the teenager's? I like them. Think I prefer the Fabia overall, dated a bit better imo.

 

[imprezaworks]

Looks a nice car. I was tempted with one a while back

 

[DrR]

Yeah Jason's, not pushed at all yet but it's bloody lovely on the motorway compared to the ST.

 

[MarkCup]

That's race red? It looks like Molten Orange!

That was £725 well spent LOL

I bet that Octavia is a limo by comparison ride comfort wise.

 

[DrR]

Haha, I could post the pics of it Parked next to my mates MO and could play the which is which competition lol.

 

[DrR]

Well after selling this to Evans Halshaw in September, it's still for sale!

Not surprised! 14k for a used one or silly cheap lease on a new one.

Enjoying the skoda?

 

[DrR]

They've actually put the price up, was £13,700 ish before.

Yeah skoda is good, just had a little issue with lights coming on when I first got it, but just cleared them and been fine since!

I'll do a thread about it eventually.

Weird cars. I'm happy with mine, it's good to drive, quick, etc. But no attachment to it at all. Just does everything really well with no fuss.

 

[DrR]

Oh didn't know you had one! The amount of stuff I've had in the boot as been moving house is unreal. Over taking people with a double bed frame and mattress in the boot was fun lol.

Mines running really bad at low revs when cold at the moment, hoping a throttle body clean fixes it.

 

[_Tom]

Maf most likely. They eat them.

 

[DrR]

Yeah next on my list have throttle body cleaning, bloody cars!

 

[DrR]

Well apparently the way of testing the Maf is to unplug it, then if the car runs fine (which it does) then the Maf is broken. Which makes me think wtf is it for!

 

[Daniel]

Don't these chew coils also?

Yeah, mk2 in full uber cab spec! Silver. Boot is massive!

 

[DrR]

I know they destroy coil packs, well did, as they revised the design and did a recall.

 

[DrR]

Does yours have those bloody stupid bars in the boot?

 

[ForceIndia]

Does yours have those bloody stupid bars in the boot?

Nein?

 

[DrR]

Nein?

It should have these unless it's an estate. The black bars.

 

[ForceIndia]

No on the mk2 no bars.

 

[DrR]

Still not been bought!
