Default My Fiesta is 2

Today is a very special day for me and my fiesta. On this day in 2004 I went to pickup my first car, A brand new Colorado Red Ford Fiesta (Took alot of pursuading to get the car released). Over the past 2 years she has kept me very happy and run without the slightest problem at all.

I havn't done much to my fiesta but this will soon change. Really the only mod worth mentioning is the Sound System. Getting everything fitted was a mission and new issues are constantly being found but overall im very happy with the setup I have.

The only bad thing thats come with the car is first being hit in a carpark with the guilty party running off. And around 1 week later being hit in exactly the same spot by one of friends. This cost around $1260 to fix.

Summary of the past 2 years.
Ive done about 29,000km
Spent around $13,000 on the car. Most of this is insurance costs (They kill you when your 17 and insuring a car), 2nd in terms of costs would be Mods.

Plans for future
Im either gonna spend money making it quicker and look nicer or buy a Polo GTi. Leaning slightly towards mods ATM.

Mmm nice little colorado red ZETEC !

Ive already sung happy birthday so ill save you all the time and ear ache.
I think if you sold it, you would regret not modifying it. Its a great little car, and doing little bits and pieces to it really bring it to life.

Hope it gives you years more of happy and touble free cornering.
