I had the 100bhp 1.0 EcoBoost on loan when my ST2 was in for its Mountune upgrade. Fantastic little car...I can only imagine how much better/quicker that tiny little engine would feel with 25% more power. Enjoy it! And as Gally says, stay away from plastering coloured stickers over the...

Nice. My nephew has one, they're great little things!

Smashed screen update... I decided against a DIY repair, and even back-street repairers wanted £150-£180 to do it. So I'm claiming on insurance...hopefully get it sorted ASAP as it's a right pain not being able to call anyone on it!

That sounds very nice. Must go well too! Don't you hit your knuckles when you select third gear?

I had a spare few hours this gloriously sunny afternoon so did this...

The lower edge of the front bumper?

I'm not hugely technical so not sure I could trust myself pulling it all apart. Considering the cost of the screen replacement I have considered just buying a brand new handset with warranty. Not sure what to do. Hmmmm.

Well, I got my money back from Google for their yellow case as it was slowly and very definitely turning green! Trouble is, while deciding what to go for, I've dropped it and smashed the screen. Grrrr. Are there any recommended repairers? A quick Google has indicated a cost of around £150...

Brilliant video. His comments about the sh*te were bang on LOL

They're easily on a par with the Clio 200 of old as far as driving goes, and have far more pace to go with it - they'd set your pants on fire as much as any of the current/recent crop. What else would you expect from a 200bhp 1,100 kg hot-hatch?

He he he. Glad you're enjoying it Scott (but that was never in doubt!).

Wow. Great onboard video...apart from the Caterham everything else looked like it was in reverse!

Nice!

Gadgets and extras define the very essence of being a hot hatch now do they? LMFAO What about the balance, response, feel and feedback?

Wow! So it's that or, as an alternative, £5,465 down and 48x £209 for a Clio 200T. Erm...

What? You stated there are no good hot-hatches below £25k. What has your question above got to do with your previous statement?

FLOL

They still seem willing to do a deal if you can find the right dealer and catch them at the right time! I saw only my second one on the road this weekend...Molten Orange. So that's mine and two other orange ones I've seen...nothing else. I don't know where they're all hiding.

I love the way they call it brake regeneration to make it sound like it's got some fancy F1 technology. The reality is it's 'off the throttle regeneration' as the actual brakes contribute nothing! Very clever all the same though, my Fiesta does the same and it works well.

I subscribe to Dave's school of thought, give it a chance to come to life instead of demanding it from the outset. Impatience is the reason most smash them straight out of the crate but convince themselves that it's because no mechanical sympathy for a brand new engine is required or they're...

Very nice! How are you finding the 'box?

Excellent work!

I think that's my mate's old car!

Bingo! Does the OP own a foot pump?

LOL - I prefer wise. Just saw this, at 504 miles, oh dear...this is what happens when Ford convince the insurance companies that the ST is a warm hatch leaving 17 year olds queuing up to insure them...

Oh they noticed it alright. Confused glance from the car wash bloke and then banter as the service guy got in it. Nothing of note said that I could pick up with the microphone though.

I rigged my GoPro up for its recent service out of idle curiosity as well as wanting to make sure they didn't rag its t*ts off from cold. It turns out the only thing wrong was that I forgot to tell them not to wash it. Grrrr.

Finally past 1,000! Sound good above 5k don't they?!

They're as good on the road as they are on track...and arguably far more fun than anything with more power as you can just drive it flat out everywhere.

Brilliant! I was smiling the entire way through that. Good work despatching the R32 and just LOL at the billy-big-b****cks cretin in the 911!
