Maffoo Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Yaaaay! I finally picked up the Fez (named Eric) today :D Been a looooooong few days, so here's a nice little story with photos. Started up with me going to Nottingham for the Student Radio Conference. The coach was boring, my housemate slept and some randomer took off her shoes, making the coach smell of cheesy feet... I was coming up from London, and there were clear signs that I was heading back to the North... The conference was good... I won an award :P And whilst waiting to use the Tesco cashpoint, found a rather interesting magazine article... So after 2 nights out followed by really early starts, I was running on 2 hours sleep both nights (last night and the one before). Sleep depravation makes me silly. So I find innuendo with anything... Don't tell me you can't see it... But anyway, car talk! I got the train up to Chesterfield from Nottingham for £6 :D Then finally got to the dealer. Signed a few papers and then came one of the worst sights in the world... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maffoo Posted March 31, 2010 Author Share Posted March 31, 2010 So once it was mine, I sped off to a carpark to take a few photos, drove to Meadowhall and then back home to London. And on the journey I even saw a truck full of Fiestas :) More photos shall follow (taken with a proper camera) at the weekend or Friday :D So, what do I think about the car? I LOVE IT!! I only had a play with the bluetooth (need to get used to this voice control thing), and I know I'm sad, but because I did about 30 junctions of the M1 today I love the 3-blink indicator for changing lanes.

AndrewL Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Excellent work! Car looks lovely, cool plate too. Funnily enough I've got the exact same fumbled photo of '000007 miles' that I took when I picked my car up! Great minds and all that...

Maffoo Posted April 1, 2010 Author Share Posted April 1, 2010 Yeah I didn't bother with the street pack... Mostly because I didn't want to spend anymore money. I was kinda regretting it before I collected, but I have no regrets at all. I like the standard alloys and that's all that counts :) And yes, I shall be at the meet, as long as I get May Day off work ex. Also, is it worth fitting mudflaps? The spray from the M1 journey has messed him up after under 300 miles :( And I can only see out of the rear window where the wiper goes :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jord2302 Posted April 1, 2010 Share Posted April 1, 2010 You paid 14230!? I'm paying overall £12978 over 3 years and that's including finance for the zetec s tdci!!! Albeit without bluetooth. Think you could have hammered them well further down if you were paying it outright! You got many other extras? Oh well glad you're enjoying it as much as I am.
