Now then... Another new boy onboard...

Locky · 13th October 2007, 18:00

Hi all. Just about to order a new, black, 2.2 i-CTDi Type S GT with all the toys..... I cant wait. Been admiring them for ages and now I'm ready for the plunge. Always been a Ford Focus man before, so this is a step into the unknown.... Am I doing the right thing??? Too right I am...

hell yeah its the right choice

i have my red type-s for almost 2 weeks and i am looking forward to every drive in it. Allthough i have the petrol version i can tell you its one hell of a ride.
Now i am trying to keep fuel usage down, 50 km/h in fifth gear on a flat road equals a usage of 4 l / 100 km. Not bad if i may say so

Hope you recieve the car fast and let us here what you think of it

Greetings

They are a good car.The Mk 1 was even better.
No, I didnt used to own one but I have driven a few. The 1.8 zetec was a good drive. Trouble was, they depreciate like hell due to fleet sales I was told by a Ford fleet Sales Manager.

6 weeks to wait.......
