Default Howdy, yet another new member from Melbourne

Hi everyone, im a young bloke and have given my little fez a thrashing.
Got it in Aug 05 05. Fresh in from Germany, ordered it off the production line built July 05.

Zetec - Standard - Silver
Cant really afford mods currently - but looking too in the future.

I hope to get into some cruises sooner or later - ive yet to investigate this

prolly no need for pics yet as its completely stock.

Luke

Thanks for the Warm welcome guys!

I hope to meet up with you guys for a spin sometime, im quite happy to drive anywhere to catch up, (provided its not mildura or something obscene like that).

I get some pretty good times through lysterfield road, and thought it might be a good idea to give it a run with someone else one day at 10PM.

It's this "curvey" stretch of road that connects Wellington to Ferntree Gully. They had a recent expansion of the road; it has been part of my daily route for the past 1 1/2 years (: Great scenic views with a small hairpin towards the middle.

Just a question guys..

Do you meet up for a fiesta only kind of drive/cruise? or are you keen on that kind of idea if more members are interested in melbourne. (id love to see 15 to 20 fiesta's cruising together down the eastern)

Lysterfield road is a nice little road i use to test the handling of a few cars as it has some nice straights and some awesome corners, although it ends all far too quickly.

^ To true, it's always nice not braking for some of those turns.

I guess the only cruises I've been too were with Euroford; though a Fiesta cruise down the Eastern sounds awesome.

(Invite the Focus' too ;) )

Nice work guys, sounds excellent.

I might even get the HD vid cam out at lysterfield road and shoot some clips, would look pretty groovy considering the scenery.

So a small run down on my mini cruise. Start in Berwick - Montrose - Emerald. there are some pretty windy areas in a few of those roads that id love to push the little fez through. If anyone is keen let me know by email and il see about organising something

Well guys i hope you dont look at the time of my posts
