Sort of reminds me of this...

My son's Laser S EFI 1800.

It's a lot of fun most of the time, but a bit of a handful in crappy weather. Robert

Very slick.

Well, except for the slushbox. Otherwise, very slick.

Bella is that the one with all the bumps and scratchs from the idiot van driver

hypo · 13 Jul 2003, 01:06 (Ref:659806)

Here's my daily driver, lets just say you wouldn't describe the handling as being 'sporty'

hypo · 13 Jul 2003, 01:10 (Ref:659808)

Let's try that again

429CJ · 13 Jul 2003, 18:32 (Ref:660135)

Looks a bit like euro Consul/Granada.

Bluebottle · 13 Jul 2003, 20:59 (Ref:660219)

Careful- You'll upset them!

Here's my motor. Hitting the limit of what I can really afford on my insurance at the moment! Yes I know its the UK and no, I haven't photoshopped the sunlight!

Hybrid · 13 Jul 2003, 23:05 (Ref:660308)

Garcon, the intake takes care of the roo's, this takes care of the mozzies!

It came with a auto when I bought it. I looked into converting to a manual, but to do a four speed would be too much work for to little gain, and to do a sixspeed would be toooooooo much money (about 3500.00) to justify to the keeper of the accounts (my wife). The upgrade to the 200-4R cost a grand total of 500.00 dollars, and pays for itself on every road trip. But thank you for the compliment. Robert

Mine's just like this one.

My car bless it!

noise boy 2 · 21 Jul 2003, 15:05 (Ref:667235)

Color me an ingnorant american, but what kind of car is that brandy snap? (a little rhyme in there). I can tell it is a ford by the blue oval, but I have never seen one like that here in the states. Robert

**garcon** · 21 Jul 2003, 15:20 (Ref:667255)

It's a Ford Fiesta. About the same size and weight as the door mirror on a Crown Victoria...

krt917 · 21 Jul 2003, 15:48 (Ref:667288)

And it handles better than a door mirror....and a Crown Victoria.

429CJ · 21 Jul 2003, 16:04 (Ref:667308)

I had one of those, only being white, 1982 1.0 litre.

And by the way, they sold Fiestas in the USA during the seventies and eighties.

see the link for some US import Fiesta pics.

noise boy 2 · 21 Jul 2003, 16:44 (Ref:667363)

"it's a ford, it's a fiesta" I remember that ad campaign. Wow, I can't believe that they are still producing that car. Robert

Crown Victorias are known for their ability to handle cops butts mostly, not corners. Robert

**garcon** · 21 Jul 2003, 16:55 (Ref:667385)

The Fiesta model in the picture ran 'til about 1990/1. It's been thru a few incarnations since...

Erm - no offtopic comments about Fiesta models please, lads!

My little one. First public viewing.

Brandy_snap · 24 Jul 2003, 11:33 (Ref:670172)

Glad no-one's said anything bad about my car, to be honest people can take the

but its my first car, i'm only 16 (17 next month!) so I can't drive yet

but its good and it'll be there for when I've passed my test! Lol don't worry noise boy 2, there's probably plenty of American cars I don't know about! And I don't think they make them anymore... garcon's right, mine's an E reg!

ASCII Man · 24 Jul 2003, 12:09 (Ref:670199)

Well, this is it.

Alfaholic · 24 Jul 2003, 18:24 (Ref:670508)

While we're in Alfa mode, my 2 litre Sportwagon (which follows on from an 1800cc Alfa 145, and a 3 litre Alfa 164).

I've been steering clear of this thread because it was an invitation to post a pic of your car, but since 429CJ asked - he's not the only one with a truck.

Here's my wheels:
