Got myself an XR4

[robjh80]

I once said that "I would never buy another Ford again ever",..... I sold my Zetec and then went out and bought a new Lancer VRX.

Well, 5 months on, I have now sold the VRX and gone back on my word and bought a new Colorado Red XR4.

I missed the Fez too much.... :yeees:

I would look back at pics of my Zetec and think "why did I sell that car, what an idiot", it was such a nice car.

It's the old thing, "you dont know what you've got until you dont have it"

Dont get me wrong the Lancer was a nice enough car, but that was it, "it was a nice car", it did everything asked of it but to me it was somehow "characterless", it had no quirks or substance about it, .......almost like it had no soul or personality, it was another typical Jap/Korean econobox out there on the road amongst all the other many thousands of other econoboxes, nobody ever really took any notice of it, it didn't turn heads, it was just another "painted box" amongst all the other painted boxes, it was nothing special.........I was not used to this reaction after owning the Fez for the previous year.

The Fez used to turn heads, it was something "different", it looked good on the road and there were not very many about, people would stare at it when I stopped at the lights and want to "check it out".

So here are some pics of what I am getting, I pick it up early next week, probably Tuesday morning, "cant wait to get back in the saddle!!"...
