yeh, i think the blue looks good

Gorgeous ST dude :yum: ooops was meant to be looking at the Grande Punto wasnt I?

The GP looks good man, I agree with miss*virmin, the Caribbean Orange does look amazing but the Blue is just as effective if not a little bit smoother

So first opinions, is your wife enjoying it (the GP that is)?

Happy with the purchase?

yeh, its looking good so far, shes not driven it much yet, but were quite chuffed, only thing i have noticed is a slight knock when turning at very slow speeds (i.e reversing), but as its new i will see if it goes away , it feels far better built than her fiesta that we just swopped it for

Orange is awsome :worship: Love the grande to.

I know which one I prefer!

ST

Nice orange car you got there

Well the ST has over 4 times the power of the punto , so i can live with the orange

Maybe you should swap with her :devil:

ST is very nice, mine has been played with too so its a fair bit quicker than a standard one :devil: :slayer:

Tidy little GP shes got there but ive got to say, i love the ST, god its the only recent ford ive loved, and i HATE ford and what they stand for with a passion. Was behind one the other day and it passed another in our small town and they both kinda went mad flashing lights and waving like crazy! Love the orange on them.

A&R is that red ST3 still for sale in aspatria?? was there for months, and I think it received some jealousy damage whilst there too


they seem hard to sell on..... people see them as massive fuel guzzlers, but their not really, no worse than a std 2.0 NA on the same given drive about...




and I like the current facelifted to death fiesta thats out now, drives a bit better IMO than the grande too, and dealers are slightly better overall (my once removed ?? uncle is a dealership manager fella), and they hold their value etc etc.

and thats before I start on paint quality ...... (based on the 4 grandes in the dealership on launch day, almost every panel was a different shade )

Dont know - havnt been to aspatria in months! My GF moved back to wigton so i dont head out that way anymore - thank god


EDIT: If Mcdowel is selling it stay as far away frm him as possible, he was bankrupted and is a fraudulant old toss pot

orange st hmmmmmmmmm
