Thanks Tenille, but my car just has too much power around the round-a-bouts! Seriously though, I think I have an over reactive DSC unit, because it loves to cut in and ruin my fun.

Thanks man. She scrubs up alright hey!

iPhone 4 rocks! I did like Tenille's Android phone however, they've certainly come a long way. Still, the 3 hours in line was worth it. It's sensational. The camera (I'll post some pictures from it soon ofd the Fez) rocks compared to my 3G or 3GS.

Thanks bro. Really like the wheels. At first I thought it looked a little bit weird due to the lack of spokes but I've really warmed to them now. I will say though, the design of the 16" rims really compliments the design. Not sure on lowering, I'm really liking going up my driveway without scraping and speeding over speed humps without killing the underside! I have noticed a little more body roll however. I'll see!

Thanks mate. See below for some better snaps. iPhone 4 camera is superior to the iPhone 3G.







Thanks for all the great comments peeps. Hopefully us Queenslanders can get good group for our 'Cruise' in a few weeks to get some great photos of all our cars.

The Conti's really are good tyres I reckon! So did you whip DannyBoy's car with them? Hahaha

Yup. You know you could always take a leaf out of my book Tenille and actually wash your car!

I wouldn't say Tenille busted me, but her tyres are very grippy! Give mine a few more hundred kilometres and they should be perfect. I think I have an over active DSC unit that likes to cut in early and make my car slide. I know FWD cars have a tendency to do that, but Tenille's Fiesta doesn't seem as overactive. Then again I power on round the round-abouts!

[shroomies49]

Hey i had knives in the back .... I'll take em out next time and we will do another "test"

and fyi did my car reaaaaallly look that dirty considering my bro had it for a month? apart from the break dust... lol

[GoesLikeAZetec]

it might not be as intrusive because its got less power as well Danny

[dannyhilton]

Tenille makes it have power though, reving it all the way to 6000rpm!

While I don't have an auto, they don't seem too bad hey. More than enough go. Just not what you'd call super fast, then again the manual isn't either.

As for the tyres, took them for a hoon drive this afternoon. Love them, and would definitely buy then again so far. Now I've had them for near a week, I can honestly say I can't notice any additional tyre road or roughness. In fact I'd say they feel the same as the 16" rims. Very happy.

you're both in trouble at the photoshoot... Mine drives like it's on railroad tracks AND has the power of the manual As my dad taught me... "Roundabout's are just short, curvy overtaking lanes"

Meh, bring it on! My short throw shifter and 'S' badge will slaughter your car!

[trento]

you're forgetting something else danny... like you this is my second fez... I've been overtaking commodores on roundabouts for 4 years now :P

[shroomies49]

Make sure it's a big one :P

[stevenfiesta]

Hey Danny i was just wondering how come you didn't by the rims of www.european-parts.net it says they will cost $1065 delivered?

[dannyhilton]

No warranty plus I couldn't guarantee they were genuine. Very happy with my rims however!

[stevenfiesta]

yea your car looks sweet and will ford still sell the rims when the new WT fez comes out?

[dannyhilton]

Doesn't look like it. It's been removed from the options list, but WheelKing will still supply them, so no doubt Ford Dealers will still have access to them even if Ford Australia don't advertise them.

[stevenfiesta]

okay cool thanks for your help

[dannyhilton]

No worries man. Just an update image of the new rims

[stevenfiesta]

that looks fantastic the white does look great

[stevenfiesta]

also danny where did you get your "S" badge from?

[dannyhilton]

Got it from www.european-parts.net

They are pretty good, have a huge range of products are are reasonably priced. Look in the MK6 Fiesta section :-)

[stevenfiesta]

Sweet cheers
