Really enjoyed yesterday, was great to see familiar cars in the metal. Duxford is just epic too.
My day was nearly ruined by my suspension eating itself overnight leaving me to deal with this saturday morning:
Luckily managed to hitch a lift to CSS so disaster was avoided!
Just thought i'd give this a little update..
I took the ST to OC Motorsport for a major service and MOT (no advisories!). Also got a K&N 57i fitted whilst it was there:
I also managed to get around to changing my ford badges over for factory-fresh ones. I did consider getting coloured...
Just thought i'd bump this as a woman i work with has just bought this. saw it in the car park today and wondered who it belonged to before she came and told me it was her christmas present.
Jealous to say the least :(
i'm having a full-on nostalgia moment now lol.
Here's a few games i grew up playing:
Desert Strike
Lemmings!
Mercs (on sega master system)
Ninja Gaiden
R-Type <3
wow. i'm such a nerd :o
Hell yes! I seriously loved the sound effects. I used to literally make my way through each level bashing skulls with what appeared to be an iron drainpipe.
I wouldn't say that any car has to be ragged 24/7 lol, its horses for courses, if you want a car that looks nice, has nice toys (i.e. your leather recaros), and has a bit of poke for driving to and from work, then I don't see why the 200 wouldnt be a cracking choice!
Its all personal preference...
I got my ST ones done at Paint It UK (Just outside billericay), Cost me £180 for all 4, done within 6/7 hours, and those are 17" wheels.
Would definitely recommend the lad Ash who did mine, proper nice bloke too!

i'm frightened to post in here again in case I flame the debate!
Part of the reason I bought the ST was because of its warm-hatch reputation, for me to have got a 172/182 I would have had to have bought a cheaper example with higher mileage just to be able to off-set the cost of higher...
triple post combo winner! lol.
I haven't noticed the paint work finish yet, I'm gonna be paranoid now, thanks! :( haha. As much as I would love gally to sort out any bodywork issues with my fiesta (or give it some of his expensive wax..), I think the trip all the way to scotland and back would...
Thanks, I do try and keep it looking nice :), the wheels are being refurbished next monday!
the pre-facelift ones like mine dont have a mpg reading on the dash so I can't tell you what mine is exactly, i can get around about 300miles to a tank and thats with a mix of motorways and town driving...
Haha im not sure what has made the paint look like that, its probably my lack of photography skills as the paint work is normal in the flesh? No plans for it as am thinking of replacing it next year with something which is a bit faster as standard.
I love it in a straight line compared to my...
I have only just realised that even though I sold my clio over a year ago I never got around to putting up pictures of its replacement!
Having recently gotten my hands on a DSLR I thought it would be a good idea to take advantage of the good weather and give my ST a clean and take some snaps...
