Don't suppose it was red, the radiator was busted and you had to have the heat on full aimed out the window to stop it boiling over?

I got really annoyed when my insurance for this year came through as due to inflation, at the age of nearly 40, I’m now back to what it cost me when I was 17z

Mk 2 fiesta.. CVS 225X

It was ahead of its time as it had keyless entry and start..

To unlock you just pull the locking barrel out and turned it, and you could start it with a lolly stick.. Genius. Haha
