Today England had a predicted weather forcast of rain, floods and just really bad weather basically. So when I looked outside and saw mr sunshine I decided to go and get some pictures like Komotar and TT and other JW members get. I seriously failed, and my respect for good photography was rasied since I just cant get good pictures. But I took a few so by chance I got a few decent shots by accident. I was just going to try get a good photoshoot of my car, but I ended up taking some of the country side aswell.

There all very average joe shots but im clueless when it comes to taking pictures and its just a simple point and click camra. But I do like this shot below.

Oh yeah and heres the country side which the whole road runs through, its a great drive if the road is empty, good surface, turns, camber it has it all its real fun.

**Imageshack is for some reason been an ass, so I'll have to post them later**

I thought these would be better of been in this thread rather than creating a new one

Great countryside Daggernite, can really enjoy your car there

Nice country road. I notice the green grass, something not often seen in Australia.

Sounds like you're enjoying the car.

I love the fiesta ST. I think it looks funky and cool!!

The nicest small car IMO.

I've been working for 3 months now and moved in with my girlfriend for 4 moths, but I can't imagine being able to spend enough money for a nice car like this!! I don't consider myself as someone who spends money carelessly. I guess I need to ask my boss for a raise

For the moment I use the Ford Fiesta 1.25 (8 years old) from my girlfriend. I actually prefer my moms Yaris 1.0. The fiesta even decellerates on some hills... The steering feel is weird and the gearbox sucks.

Congrats with that superb little car of yours!!

Thanks Zippo you make me feel proud. At the momment my Fiesta is back at ford getting a few problems sorted out which consist of:

Stitching in the drivers side door coming undone for no reason.

Squeeky clutch that does my head in everytime i make a gear change.

Tracking has gone abit wonky so i have to steer slightly more to the right to go in a straight line. Its really annoying when having fun when driving quick because its unbalanced and i some times make the back end twitch.

The bulb in my incabin light is out, and little things like that bug me.

I think thats all. Ford have been great with me and they have given good friendly service so far. All the points mentioned above are to be carried out under warrenty.

So just thought mkaing a note of this, I think I'll use this thread as my car diary.

Well it had to happen some time. The first crime to happen to my car. £120 is what it will take to raplace my fog lights :x

Im searching ebay, if I find any fog lights in this area im going to be the winning bidder, and theres going to be a arse kicking.

^^ Bastards! :fist:

I hope you catch the wanker that did this to you!

Pimp Racer · 03-18-2007, 10:54 PM

Damn dude thats gotta suck ass. Atleast they didnt take anything else.

ARMAN · 03-19-2007, 07:42 AM

Damn SOBs :roll:

Why do you say "It had to happen sometime"? is this so common in England?

jon_s · 03-19-2007, 05:37 PM

Damn that sucks - the fact that they cost £120 to replace and the fact that they are so easily removed shows why it happens :snipersmile:

ARMAN, people breaking into cars in the UK is one of the most common types of crime

That is why my alarm will a) have any thief confused for a good while and b) will have them going death by the time they work it out - and yes I am aware of the noise limits to alarms and no I don't give a shit.

My friend has the same set up as I plan and he put it in the middle of a field and set the alarm off - you could hear it loud and clear a mile away. The key to not pissing everyone off is having it properly installed (only badly installed alarms keep going off for no reason).

Not that the alarm would have helped your fogs!
