It’s been over half a year since our last update folks!
In that time we’ve had a multitude of Sixfields meets in Northampton, even more members join up, and our community still continues to grow stronger by the day.
We’ve noticed quite a few people have had the winter blues, and with another expensive Christmas that’s been and gone, a few problems with members cars and the January paypacket that seems to never arrive, it’s been very testing indeed! But somehow we’ve all managed to survive smiling on the other side of it and now that the days are getting lighter as well, spirits are lifting a little more everyday too.
So what’s new you ask? Well, the mainsite has had a slight update, with all pictures being replaced/updated. The members gallery has been removed for now whilst the newer version of this is put into production which we are working on currently, and a nice suprise is planned for all you lot on the site this Spring.
We also have organised a new rolling road session with Gordon @ Streetracers. The date is set for the 9th of March, 2008. Details can be found in the general section of the forum. Many thanks for Andy (andyleesy) for helping us sort out the payment for this. So make sure you get yourself down there – even if it’s just to say hi on the day. This will be our first major event of the 2008 season – which will be followed by many Sixfields meets, FITP, Ford Fair, a RWYB day and hopefuly a few extra gatherings and pub meets!
Finally, FSi wishes everyone a happy new year! We love you all more than cheesecake. And that says a lot.
Thanks Guys and Girls

Welcome once again to FSi!
First off, I’d like to apologise for the lack of updates to the main page! We’ve all been very busy in other area’s of our lives, and unfortunately, FSi has had to take a bit of a back seat. But since the last update, we’ve had a fair few things happen in the world of Fiesta-Si.com!
For starters, we had our very first rolling road day, with Fast Ford in attendance! The day was a great success, and everybody done their part to help make the day run as smooth as it possibly could. Most people were happy with their results, and there were a few surprise figures in there. But it was the people who made the day the great event it turned out to be, so we’d like to thank you for making it a day to remember! The issue of Fast Ford we will be in is out in a months time.
We also had our second stand at FITP! We had a superb turnout with members travelling from far and wide to attend. Unfortunately once again our allocated stand space didn’t seem in line with the amount of tickets we sold and cars we had on the stand. And the weather, for the second year in a row, was awful. But it didn’t let the community spirit dwindle! All our members who were there still had a fantastic time and the resilience shown in the face of poor weather was a credit to everyone who was there! Top job!
So, on a positive note, I shall finish off there. All I’ll say is a big thanks to everyone for making the forum what it is! The community has grown more and more since last time we updated, and we’re near the 1000 members mark. Hopefully a bit more exposure at Ford Fair and the Fast Ford rolling road shootout will increase our memberlist and get FSi the recognition it deserves! And with a big update coming very soon, I’m sure you’ll all appreciate the work that will have gone into it.

So where do we begin?
Fiesta-si.com has amassed a large number of members since we last updated, and our community has really grown leaps and bounds. We are ever thankful for the great comments and words we receive about our website, and we can only say thank you! We’re so proud that everyone is so supportive of FSi. Thanks once again guys and gals!
Winter is just around the corner but already everyone is looking forward to FITP and Ford Fair next year, as well as talks about rolling road days in-between, along with our ever popular Sixfields meet in Northampton. Which reminds me to inform you of our huge Christmas meet in December! Please check the Sixfields section in our Events forum for the latest news of what’s happening and who is coming!
We also have a big surprise for you in the coming months, with what we hope will be a great improvement to the site! In the meantime we will have a few new members car features coming along any week now that are, I must admit, way overdue!
Keep checking the forums for the latest news, enjoy yourselves
and don’t be afraid to ask for any help or advice. We have many
skilled and talented members on our site from various backgrounds
with a vast amount of knowledge to help you with. So from me,
Des & Scott take it easy, and we’ll be seeing a lot of you at
Sixfields!

Firstly; a big thanks is in order for you guys and girls that continue to use the site. It’s providing an excellent and close-knit group of Fiesta Si owners where we can all chat, talk about our cars, organise our events and ask for assistance.
It’s been a year since we first put the site up and it’s been growing well since. We don’t have a huge number of members but the members of the site come back regularly giving a real sense of community on the site. We’re thankful for your support in donations, visiting the site and a special thanks to Chris for mentioning us when his spankingly clean Si was featured in Performance Ford.
It’s still early days but time moves fast and May is the month of the biggest Fiesta event in the Ford calendar with Fiesta in the Park at Wickstead Park near Kettering. We’re proud to say we’ve got our own www.fiesta-si.com stand and we’ve got a thread in the General Forum where you can purchase your stand pass. All Fiestas are welcome on our stand and at a low cost of £6 what’s stopping you getting your car on stand, letting people have a nose around at it and give you some feedback. Last years Fiesta in the Park was my second trip and following in the annual tradition, it was a blazing hot day and a great day out for all. With 100′s of Fiestas on show from the modest early classics of the Mk1 XR2 to the latest offering from Ford the Fiesta ST, there is no finer place to check out your favourite little Ford.
We’re now also running at full speed with thanks to our wonderful host cybermods.co.uk, with all our problems a speck on the horizon behind us. So another thanks is in order for Cyber.
That’s a rap for this update but keep checking back as some further updates are planned over the site over the coming months.
The fiesta-si.com team.
