Yeah we are a bit touchy...we can take a joke ;) but we dont take to well having our cars put down :P

So many people underestimate our little Fiestas !
If you want to get into a slander-fest... then there probably the only ford worth owning available in aus... Apart from all the focus models.

Cant remember last time the diff sha7 itself and had to be replaced 5 times under warranty, cant remember last time a gearbox fell apart and had to be replaced under warranty, cant remember last time a fiestas engine shat itself and had to be replaced by warranty....

Only bad thing ive heard is one electric water pump failure (teki) and one lemon (Aaron)
How many lemon falcons are there? more than you'd like to admit i bet !

So yeah we take jokes ;) just be prepared to have em thrown back at you

Mate i know all about the little car jokes, i used to own a 94 GSI barina, and that wasnt a slow little car.

the problem i see here is that some nameless small car drivers seem to think theyre the fangio's and senna's of the new age.

with time, they'll come to realise their shortcomings.

I had a blinder on the first lap but then I think I just got the lines slightly worse than the first lap or tapped the wall once more..but does look a bit strange seeing as you are starting from standstill...would like to see someone beat 2:40 for race time

Considering the Fiesta pulls higher lateral Gs then the SS commo... and having both Mitch's and mine lowered - I'm sure the Fiesta would outhandle the Falcon....

Too bad we can't compete - mine should be going to another home soon :(
