Default Fiesta 1 year old

The day has come. My little Fiesta has turned 1, 1 year ago on this day I woke up, got dressed and went to the Ford dealer to pick up my little baby.

During this year the car has:
Done 11700km
Been hit 2 times in the same spot
Ran only using 98Ron fuel



Yes, this was a waste of time but I just had to tell you guys

Well done Pioeter, here are some moments for you over the last year:

Pieoter's First Ever Eurofordclub Cruise
The cruise to Wisemans Ferry was a very very long one, and Pieoter did not hesitate to get stuck right into things in the twisties - I had a mirror full of red Zetec the whole way (except one particular hairpin haha).



-------------------------------------

Pieoter makes the NSW End of Year Meet
Despite a very low turnout as to what we had expected, Pieoter was one of the guys that did turn up to enjoy the photos, dinner, and received one of the Club Momentos for the year.



-------------------------------------

Pieoter kicks of 2005
The first ever official Eurofordclub Cruise in NSW without me (that I am aware of), Pieoter came to the successful First Cruise for 2005 as well!



-------------------------------------

An interesting note, ever since Pieoter joined the Eurofordclub, he has been to every single meet held so far, and looks to continue the unbroken record at this weekends April 9 Cruise!

Thanks for your support to the club mate, it's a beautiful car, I hope we see alot more of it, especially as it changes to how you want it!

Cheers... Tim

Welcome.... though it says you have had 412 posts... guessing you had a Ford beforehand, what did you trade in for the Fiesta?

Hey Teki, I'll just take this opertunity to say -
I'm sorry I missed your email welcome when I first registered
I'm still learning how on this friendly little members site e
Would like to meet you some time (when I've GOT my ride)
Just signed the last extras contract with the dealer today
and my guy said it will be next week in stead of this Friday :
It's disappointing, and the guy says "I hope you're as excited as I am"
I guess he does know Im really keen, but there's no way he could be as
excited as me.
Anyhow congrates to the birthday car boy :1syellow1

Congrats on your car. I had to wait an extra week with my car even though it was ready to leave just becuase Ford wouldn't let it leave before release date :(.

Once I got it i was the happiest man alive.

I was told that "magma red" is the colour, but its obviously colorado red.. Oh and Pioter, i want to see how you fitted a headunit in the dash!
I sorta have been told that i have to sell my 3 month old Poineer OEL headunit cuz it can't be done! I'm ****ed off at that!

Thanks. yeah i figured those holes would need filling.
Dont like the prospect of having to cut into the dash.... Can you put an amp off the standard audio system?

You can run an amp from the standard unit but you will need one that can accept high level inputs or you will need a speaker to RCA converter.
