Thanks Gally, you spoil me. I'll bank those for private viewing later. First time I've seen green on black...gutted tbh, was planning on being individual and having lime green on mine.

Orange and Lime Green. I'm so gutted you didn't follow that through...

1.0 EcoBoost Zetec. To drive it's hilarious. Great noise from the three cylinders (but too quiet) and the grunt at 2k is mad. Feels far too soft and squidgy though and the brakes don't feel up to anything like a big stop. Brilliant car.

Cuff Miller in Littlehampton. Won't be done before I get the kids from school so no chance of giving it some today.

Tomorrow's booked off as well though so have the whole day. Taking it to a mate who has a standard ST2 so we can try them back to back and side by side.

Those little 1.0 are amazing fun. The standard cars handles so well which helps. Steering is sublime.

My parents bought the exact same car as that as a run around. It's a brilliant thing, so much so that the mother in law bought one too. Love them.

Find someone with a 1*2 at the same time, it would be interesting to see some vids of how they all compare.

Headlamps are bigger than a 182.

Final thoughts on the 1.0, the brakes are up to it after all. It's a fantastic little thing. I reset the trip for the 5 mile drive back and got an indicated 68mpg.

MP215? Feels good. Not night and day different, only had a couple of opportunities to give it a squirt, but definitely harder edged. Throttle response seems much improved which is great...rev matching on the way back seemed much more, ummm, natural.

Nice so worth the outlay then ?

I'd like to hear your thoughts on the 215 package Mark.

I never experienced the "real world" gains on our ST as we had the package done when the car only had 200 miles on the clock and never got to drive the standard car anywhere near fast.

45 miles of b-roads tomorrow so will get a proper sense of how it feels and will post something in the evening.

I went out and filmed/data logged the 1.0 earlier so will throw something together vs my ST for a laugh.

My Ex has just ordered a 14 plate for the 1st March. Black ST2 - Every extra box ticked and MP215 kit from the factory. Not jealous.... :clown:
