    Heh I remember being 19 and having a Fiesta. The keys were interchangeable and I could open all my mates Fiesta's with my key and vice versa.

      you kept that one quiet.

      6R4, you must have a decent sized garage, what else do you have lying around ? What's your plan for it and what inspired you to buy it ? Always wanted one, or just happened to get a good offer at the time ?

      Milan.
      It's in my Fathers barn waiting for the day I want to use it for hill climbs.

      Failing that give me an offer over £50k and it's yours.

          I had 2.

          First was an HLS and the second an MG.

          The HLS ran better than the MG.

          These were preceeded by 2 minis.

            The MG Metro was a stock 1.3 Metro with alloys and better interior and exterior as far as I know.

              My best mate had one and in our Army days we used to travel round Germany at the weekends in it and get drunk and then sleep in the car...I think we saw every city in Germany over the years and the car went some great places!!!!!

                I had an MG Maestro until it set on fire while i was driving it.

                Had the talking computer and electric display.

                Computer had a speech impediment

                "Pleev faffen yure seeth beelth" randomly, even if it was faffened!
                The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                  My mate had a mk1 escort, you could open the doors with a 5p piece.

                  I had a yellow 1.0 metro as my first car oh how the chic’s digged it ...not.

                  When I discovered that the go faster stripes were hiding the rust my dad took it back to the garage and demanded a replacement, I ended up with a Fiesta 1.1 popular plus which was so much better...

                  Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson

                    I had one of those.

                    It lasted 6 weeks.
                    mine lasted about 2 years, paid £90 for it and sold for £100.
