ha! oh ye quite expensive!

like the cost of a brand new Fiesta...

I cooooouuuuullllnnnnntttttt say

Had a change of heart with my Fiesta, im not gonna go for a new car, its just madness. The Fiesta is the best its ever looked, the quickest its ever been, and generally the happiest Ive been with it, so Im gona save my money , and Im gona do as many events as I can with the car this year. Ive already booked for , Croft RSOC show, Kames RSOC show and Ford Fair.

Ill also do Anglesey RSOC show , Castle Combe RSOC show and RSOC National Day at Donninton, as well as other track days at Oulton Park , and Cadwell Park

Im going to do some improvemnts to the inside of the car, Ive bought all the Flocked dash parts Sam ( Sleeman) had for sale, so started stripping out the old dash in readiness





Also ive got a oil leak from the sump gasket thats been annoying me, so started to strip everything out to remove the sump



So 2012 will be all out track days , with some improvents to the car to make it better, its all about the Fiestas, bring on the cossies , thyre gettin spanked

No messing around with you sorting the leak lol.

Glad your not getting rid, everytime i read about you leathering your fez around a track un the mags its always good words, your fez has become a legend.

Flocked dash will look good, did you ever have problem with dash glare? Thought youd be going to fast to notice lol.

good news!

Hi Loumie, never had issues with glare, im really just doing it for the look, i want to tidy up inside the car with new guages, and change the layout of the switches, fit carbon door cards and footplates . The interior was needing a wee spruce up , as it was the thing that was letting the car down a little, so ill make it better finish the car off a bit

The car does seem to get a fair bit of coverage in the mags, and at trcak days it does get a lot of attention in the paddock, theres always someone looking under the bonnet of the car , maybe suprised how its keeping up with and overtaking the turbod stuff

Meilack cheers mate

its no secret i love this car

puts the "fiesta's cant handle myth" to bed

id love to make that trip, the roads up through wales are fantastic!

the track itself looks cracking from what ive seen on topgear and fifthgear

great track Anglesey, very very fast , and some great corners, it has it all

heres some footage of me going round the circuit, i had the camera on the outside and the lense must have fogged up a little, but you get the idea, chasing a stage 3 escort cossie for most of the session

Glad you are keeping it, there is something good about surprising others in cars that they think they should be able to whip you in

Excellent news that your keeping it Dalsy, was really upset when you said you may be letting it go

Think you would have missed it if you had sold it, and I still need to see it in the flesh/on track!

_________________

When you first said you was selling it i was wondering what i could sell to make money to buy it lol
Car, furniture, kids . . . You get the idea lol.

cheers guys, yes car means too much to me now, i was really torn between keeping it or selling it, and must have changed my mind 100 times

Ill be at Ford FAir this year, and the West of Scotland RSOC are planning on a clubstand too, so the car will definately be there for people to see and hear
