Title: Putting a Fiesta through its paces
Post by: Nickbat on 04 October 2010, 19:49:48

I'm sorry, but if you're going to put a Fiesta through its paces, you'd think it could be driven hard.

Humph! What a wimp.  ;) ;)

Indeed so, I was being ironic. Mr Block knows how to handle a car...except the Reliant Robin, though:

Doesn't "Putting a fester through it's paces" involve the initial choice of which supermarket to go to? ;D

Correct Cap'n. :y

I see his cheap part-worn Wanli tyres on the back didn't last very long. ;D

Years ago I remember being behind a tired old Fiesta on the way back from work.  The sticker in the back window said "Vauxhall Nova?  I'd rather walk".  Made me laugh anyway.

He certainly did, left a lovely smudge on there too - the in-car camera caught it nicely as well.
