New car!!  (& a severely dented bank balance / credit record).
'54 Reg Ford Fiesta Zetec (1.4 Petrol, manual gearbox, 19K on the clock)...
major annoyance is... I had to use the money I'd saved for a new bike as a deposit on the car  .
But I'm loving my new Fiesta! I'm gonna use Fuelly to track its MPG. |
Thanks for the link to Fuelly! I've signed my Forester up to keep track of her gas guzzling
