Default Haha, history of my car....**pics working again**

Was looking at some backup cds today look what I found:

My baby when new:

Some new wheels as I really don't like the 4 spoke things:



Somewhere sunny!! In the UK!!!!!!!!!

Some tit tried to break in! Just after fixing that side from a hit and run..


Yes, all you anti-rice people, it is an exhaust...however, it is the smallest pipe I could possibly get, it is a Sebring full system, and no I don't sound like I am doing 100mph when I am doing 20mph.



Snowy day!

My street:


Dad's car:

oooooooooh clean now....


Silghtly different, but, my desk:


2 of my 3 cats:


A Fiesta meet:



that will do, my car does not look like a 4x4 anymore, it is sitting quite nicely now. I am not doing anything else to her.

It was organised by www.ukfiestanetwork.co.uk -which is having server problems at the moment. Quite a good turn out IMO

your right about the four spokes, still it could of been worse and come with 3 spokes That idiot didn't do a very good job of breaking in clearly not a professional thief! That exhaust doen't look at all out of place it looks like something ford would fit to a performance version and not like a dustbin you would see in fast car etc Nice car all in all you haven't gone mad with the mods and what you have done has improved the car greatly in my eyes 8)

Why thankyou, it is just sitting a bit lower now, at least I can't hide a small child under the arches lol. 8)

I was a bit worried when the exhaust turned up, I thought it was massive lol.

No that isn't massive you should see the 4inch+ exhaust on my mates nova (full race engine ) When we used to work together i used to hear him about a mile before he got there!! Rediculous i wouldn't be able to put up with it all the time like on the motorway it would just deafen you!!

BTW didn't notice the ride height until you just said that i thought about lowering my mini a bit but the ride is bad enough already especially over speed bumps!!

Cheers, the Aero's looks never changed, dad just had some work to the engine, he really did not want any 'modded' look to it what so ever. The poor car has done nearly 80,000 miles now. It is slowly being returned to 'stock' (original ecu e.t.c) as we plan on selling it soon. Dunno what next, maybe another one lol

We really don't know! I think he does not want a powerful FWD car anymore. I love the car, but it has its limits :cry: If it was AWD or RWD it would be perfect!

Maybe a second hand M5 or Audi S6, RS4

Don't know about brand new, for 30k, you can't really beat the Aero for every day lugging stuff about, luxuary, performance e.t.c I is going to be hard, but another Aero is certainly an option.

Yeah, sorry about that, I always had the intention to post some pics, but I lacked a digi cam for some time. All those pics were captured frames from my old video camera which decided to break. My new video camea is fine for moving pics, but the quality of captured screens is not upto scratch IMO, those pics of my new bike are with the new camera: you can see the difference in quality!

I am looking into a dedicated stills camera at the moment, nothing fancy, something around the 200-300 mark.
