OT :Wanted SOC

Tell him there's a recession on and he'll have to save up and buy his
own.

 

Yep, spot on. The only thing Ford made for those vehicles were the
badges. Designed in Bedfordshire and built at the Nissan plant
somewhere in Spain.

I had a 2.7TD 7 seater 5 door for a few months last year nand loved it.
Comfy, quiet, not quick but no slug. It wasn't too hot on fuel though,
even on a run from Bedford to Bristol and back the best I could manage
was 30mpg.

Mine was sold because the insurance renewal quote was stupidly high and
I had 2 Mitsubishi Evo Vs sitting on the driveway to play with so
didn't need it any more.

Yep. On confused, £4,800. It wasn't just insurance, it was reassuringly
expensive insurance.

Maybe I've seen sense, we have just got back from Letchworth Car
Auctions with a very tidy, 1996 Ford Fiesta Ghia auto for £450, no
tax, but a years MOT. He 's well pleased and I think its OK.

 

And they wonder why there are so many uninsured cars around.

Is the correct answer. At least string him along for a while.

*shakes head*

The MOT will last longer than the gearbox.

 

Then kick him in his manfanny.

Is that one of those CVT jobbies?

Yup.

Also look for rot under the door seals on the A-pillars, on the sills,
arches, tailgate and just about everywhere else....

Is it a 1.3?

 

Don't think they made a 1.3 auto Fiesta in '96.

"In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of
people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move."

 

Appears they're 1.25s.

At least that's one positive....

 

That's it.

 

I *was* wondering about that myself.

 

The first year I put Laura on the insurance for the Multipla, it bumped the
premium by around £650, the second year by around £250. It would have been
£250 again this year, but she's not around to use it.

 

I paid 300 quid for a 1999 T plate Fiesta 1.25 Zetec a few months ago.
I sold it to my nephew for 500 and he got it at half the normal retail
value because I was in a good mood that day.

 

*I*f only it were *L*ondon.
