A lot of freeways are moving to 70mph now and in some states they are 80mph. You briefly see through the window of the shitvic and it looks like a couple of beaners on their way to a meth deal.

It seems like every other person has a Clio where I work, there is only 2 other Fiesta mk7's though. I have never seen another Metal on the road but I do see loads of Fiestas, All I do is think "my car's better than yours" :D

It's the fastest car I have owned so it'll do me, I imagine I would be a bit disappointed if i had previously owned an RS Clio too to be fair. As I say if I can justify it I might get the ST next year. Nom!

Exactly, it's more like the previous generation hot hatches. Just enough power to be fun with great handling, it reminds me a lot of my old Puma. The ST should be pretty good though, especially after a remap to boost the power a bit. ;)

Didn't want to pay royalties to Daft Punk so they got someone to do music that sounds just like something from their Tron Legacy score?

It would look better with headlights that are less obvious what car they are from, like the 300ZX headlamps on the later Lambo Diablos.

Yeah although in the bit of the intro where he jumps in front of a 911 the front wheels have some very odd camber after he lands. The General Lee was really bad for that, they wrecked tons during the making of the show.

Really mine does quite a bit, at least I'm assuming it dims it might just be the privacy glass that is so dark it looks like it's dimmed? Plus the mirror dims so you can see the LCD screen for the reversing camera. If it had black wheels it was a Metal, also if it was any colour other than...

If I could have a TV car I would want something a bit more different than a KITT, General Lee, DeLorean etc and get one of these. I used to love The Fall Guy, one of the greatest themes on TV too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kp6oUs50Sn4&feature=related

Yeah it might be a bit distracting otherwise. The little yellow box shows the space the car takes up. It's quite good as you get the camera, sensors, auto dimming rear view mirror and auto wipers & headlamps all as part of the pack.

Just thought I would stick up a couple of pics I took today. Shorter eBay special aerial. Here's a pic of the screen for the reversing camera. Rather than put it in the dash it's in the rear view mirror. Quite a cool little touch I think. I might attempt to de-tango the rear lights over the...

No probs! The headlight is held in with a clip at the bottom which can be pretty stiff, it feels like you are pulling too hard.

It's the Sony one with the big round knob in the middle, I think it looks better anyway. This. Rather than this. Also as mine has the piano black vent surrounds it looks even better. And the Sony one has white illumination on the screen not orange, a little touch but it looks better. I...

Lmao @ the GF. To de tango is a b**ch, you take the headlight out then once you manage to get the bulb out it is an orange bulb yeah. The worst bit is getting the bulb holder back in as it's really far into the headlamp. I used this guide to help a bit - http://tinyurl.com/d3msuo2

It was a Fortwo yeah, the 71 MHD. It was my first new car though so I quite liked it, plus I enjoyed telling people I drove a rear engined, rear wheel drive 2 seat German coupe! :D

A DeLorean made to look like KITT? It would be original. ;)

It's not the Mountune kit as it was done in-house at Ford but it's essentially the same yeah.

I haven't done a proper full tank test in it yet as I forgot to reset the average MPG counter after filling it up last. I reckon mid 30s in normal driving, I'm driving up to Northumberland in a couple of weeks so I'll see what it does on a long run out.

It's pretty nippy but yeah I'm still breaking it in really, I don't do a load of miles so I've only done around 600 miles in it so far. Ford claims 0-60 in around 8.5 and tops out at 121mph. Not hot hatch as much as warm hatch but compared to the Smart Fortwo I owned last it's like a rocketship! :D

A guy at work dropped £13k on a Clio 1.2 Tce Dynamique 5 years ago, that's half the car this is imho. This is faster, better looking, has heated leather, heated screen, auto climate control, parking sensors/ camera, better stereo, tintz, nice wheels (not steelies). It's all a matter of opinion...

The dash is far better in the Metal as it has piano black trim rather than silver so it looks less cheapo, also as I have the Sony DAB stereo it hasn't got the 'inspired by mobile phones' r****d thing with 5,000,000 buttons on it. There is the S1600 in either performance blue with white stripes...

My brother in law works at Benfield so I got a pretty good deal. With all the options it should be approx £17k but I got it for just under £14k. He's trying to talk me into swapping it for an ST next year when they come out, if he can do me a good deal it won't take much persuading to be honest.

I have de-tangoed the front (a pain in the arse!) and I plan to do the backs at some point and I have put a shorter eBay special aerial on it (no pics yet). Before. After.

I thought I would stick some pics of my new car up. I've had it for almost a month now and I have to say it is about 1000x better that the Smart I had before it. It's a special edition Fiesta Metal, only 1000 being built. It is based on the Zetec S with the same 1.6 Ti-VCT engine but with a bit...

Only Vectra worth having. John Cleland-tastic!

The place I work is sponsoring this and they had a model of it at work one day. It's an early design and had a different fin and the rocket engine on top at that point.

It was one in a long line of supercar concepts that eventually lead to the Bugatti Veyron. They also did a Bentley one called the Hunaudieres.

Re: let us see pictures off your old cars you owned Here are mine. MG Maestro 2.0i Ford Puma 1.4 Smart Fortwo Pulse Then in March I'll be getting this Fiesta Metal

My dad had an M535i and a Sierra XR4i My mum usually just drove my dad's car but she did have a 1979 Toyota Starlet which is cool in a s**t way, looked just like this but silver with loads of rust.
