Harpham's Fiesta ST

Harpham · Jan 28, 2014

It was never going to be long until I whacked a thread up

.

So yeah, I picked up my new Fiesta ST-2 today. Here's some terrible photos:

I've done about 40 miles up to yet and already i'm in love. Absolutely amazing and perfect spec too!!
The dealer even listened to all my OCD demands! lol
They didn't wash it, remove any of the stickers/foam that was stuck onto it or put my number plate on, as I wanted to sort them myself. Boom.

Absolute perfect spec list too. Went for:
Race Red ST-2
Style Pack
Cruise control
EATC
Satnav with uprated stereo
Convenience pack
Auto wipers, lights and dimming rear view mirror

Although I haven't given it full beans up to yet, it drives amazingly. Pulls in every gear. Feels much quicker & tighter than any Clio i've ever owned (both Mk2 & 3). All the toys and little gadgets are wicked too.

So yeah, i'm well happy!! I plan to give it a good clean & seal up on Friday/Saturday weather dependant and will be getting some plain, slightly smaller number plates ordered very shortly.

Fantastic, I'll be keeping an eye on this, I still haven't had a nosey around one of these I need to sort that out asap!

MattRS182 · Jan 28, 2014

Looks proper smart mate! well done

Daz. · Jan 28, 2014

Yup - good choice sir!

Coops Mk1 · Jan 28, 2014

perfect spec? so where the mountune then? and why's it not sunflower?

Slammed172 · Jan 28, 2014

Brilliant car, great buy ! Although, I thought you learnt your lesson from the 200 on buying new ? Unless I missed something somewhere.

Not my favourite colour, very inferno-esque. The cabin and drive all but makes up. I think I'm going to book a test drive as I loved the 1.25's so much.

tomp2000 · Jan 28, 2014

Nice purchase. What sort of deal did you get if you don't mind me asking? Did you choose to go PCP/HP or outright sale?

Jordi17 · Jan 28, 2014

Looks great

Its nothing like Inferno, it's the other Reddy Orange colour that is similar to Inferno!!

JD · Jan 28, 2014

Erm. Preferred the sunflower? Sorry!! Styling wise of course.

Mr R. · Jan 28, 2014

Well jel, cracking buy mate. :approve:

There's nothing like a new car smell.

Kyle 86 · Jan 28, 2014

Looks great. Cracking little cars

This is a sensible more grown up car for me, before I buy a house.
Mountune will come when I get bored of it, which with how awesome it is, it'll be a while.

You seem to know my personal circumstances better than I

Just been out in it again. It just keeps getting better. Took it onto a dual carriageway. Loving the induction noise of it.

Feirny · Jan 28, 2014

Yorkshire plates. Yes.

ThomasBrentnall · Jan 28, 2014

Looks nice! Was you out in Ripley earlier in it? Or is there another one around here the same colour as yours?

Don't understand why tbf... Urgh. Might sell it.

Yeah around about then!

Bet you can't wait to detail it for the first time. No need to sort out anyone else's mistakes/marks etc

Sunglasses_Ron · Jan 28, 2014

Well played Sir! Well played.

Lal B3N · Jan 28, 2014

Get it's head kicked in!!

RDH · Jan 28, 2014

Regardless of how good they are supposed to be, these just look so sh*t.

Chapppers11 · Jan 28, 2014

Looks great mate and even better that it's such a great car.

Knuckles · Jan 28, 2014

How did they react when you said "don't lay a finger on my new pink car"? When I asked the honda dealer not to clean my gfs new car, he looked at me like I slapped his mam.

glad you're happy though

Gally · Jan 28, 2014

Looks s**t.

Can't wait to see the detailed pictures.

Jon.G · Jan 28, 2014

Nice purchase! Prefer it in blue, but can't go wrong with red

Get some proper photos though.

imprezaworks · Jan 28, 2014

BREMBO · Jan 28, 2014

They took the piss out of me LOL. I think they thought I was taking the mick at first.
They also thought I was taking the piss when I told them that if they dare drill holes for the number plates, I'd refuse the car.

You'll be waiting a while I think. My plan is just to decontaminate and then seal up in the new few days, then hit it properly when the weather is better. Working 7 days a week atm, so haven't got the time to throw in a proper detail.

i plan to be even more OCD with this one though, seeing as I won't be modding or anything.

-J- · Jan 28, 2014

Love it, I really wish people wouldn't keep posting pictures of them though it doesn't help my want for one.

Cookson · Jan 28, 2014

Nice to have a brand spanker off the truck...... just really not into that new shape

Brookie. · Jan 28, 2014

Mate it looks so good. Red suits it so well! Very nice spec too. Would love to have a look round/passenger journey.

Of course they do. Back under the bridge.

Gray · Jan 28, 2014

I am going to throw a bucket of muddy water over it Thursday night x

Looks awesome mate, lovely spec.

lewisflintham · Jan 28, 2014

Very nice Paul. I'm glad the dealer 'understood' you! Looking forward to seeing this in the flesh.

Just an opinion. Its probably a brilliant car, everything you read has nothing but praise. But I'll never buy one because they just don't look good!

Enjoy!

Matt W · Jan 29, 2014

I managed 12,000 miles before I had mine done...it's worth the wait I think as you'll get to really appreciate it when it's finally done.

Glad you're loving it! Completely unsurprised though

timps · Jan 29, 2014

Looks great !! I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

As for the mountune, I would wait as mark says, the car as standard is absolutely superb
