right, i better get a thread going, but i am at work so can't get pics up yet

Car SpecPerformance Blue
NO side stripes or over the top viper stripes 
Standard 17" Alloys with Pirelli P-Zero Nero Tyres
Half Leather interior
Blue Diamond Trim (means dash is blue
)
Standard Sony Headunit System (impressed with
)
Aux in put for ipod/mp3 playerPretty much standard ST Spec
2.0 Duratec 148bhpHave to say, crunch from 2nd to 3rd (

) aside, i love it. The handling is fantastic, although its still being run in, i've gone in to corners at speed and have been impressed with the lack of roll, grip and brakes

The seats are
tres comfy and generally i have found the interior to be quite spacious for a small car, and the stereo is very impressive for a standard system. (just need an ipod now as i have 140 cds in my car

)
For a car with a standard intake and exhaust, the noise it makes is lush

although i've only taken it to 4000rpm so far

. That said, even with only taking it to 4000rpm, mpg is averaging at 30.8

and due to the relative small size of the petrol tank, as mole said, petrol trips will be frequent
I've only had it 10 days, yet have racked up 740 miles

and when the 1000 mile service/check up is due, i will kick up some shit with ford over the gear crunch

. The gearbox is very good, with a short throw, but this problem takes the edge off somewhat..........
still, nitpickers

pics will be up in due course, this is a prelude
