mark t Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 On my way to work yesterday morning, I got to the roundabout, and pulled out, behind two cars, with a cheeky smile upon my face, and I bet no one would every have noticed the significance of the convoy of 3, but there was I in my MK7, in front was a 57 I call a MK6.5 and in front of that an 03 MK6! that set me up for the day, and with the clear blue sky, sun shining down, it was a glorious start to the day!

AndrewL Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Ha, you car geek. Welcome to my world! I make a point of always letting mk7's out and if it's a white one with the bodykit/ZS then I'll go out of my way to stay behind them in convoy so I can see what my car looks like whilst it's going along! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeZetecS Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 I'm always on the the prowl for ZS's I drove home from scotland once, with a silver zetec s over taking aech other for 200 miles.. it didn't get boring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nug878 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Had a similar experience once in my Focus. On the motorway there was an 07 Focus estate mk2 in the first lane, 52 plate Focus estate mk1.5 in the second lane, and my Focus estate mk1 in the 3rd lane. And all passed eachother at roughly the same time, so we was all in a line for about 5 seconds. Did put a little grin on my face. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael P Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Doesn't have quite the same ring with the MK4, they're all full of old people, thugs or both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nug878 Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 Imagine a convoy of all Fiestas from mk1-7 all on the same road ... That would be epic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveThePirate Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 You mk7s have nothing on the mk6..apart from being faster,lightweight, more efficient and more features. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nug878 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 You mk7s have nothing on the mk6..apart from being faster,lightweight, more efficient and more features. Oooh. As a Focus owner I'm not touching that argument with a 10ft barge pole! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maffoo Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 You mk7s have nothing on the mk6..apart from being faster,lightweight, more efficient and more features. Better looking ;) Cheaper to run, cheaper to insure... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nug878 Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Better looking ;) Cheaper to run, cheaper to insure... And by seeing the state of my friend's Mk6 ... I'd say mk7s have better build quality too. Oops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_P Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 As most people on here havnt seen my colour car before, you would be pretty surprised if you saw two in the same place at the same time? Driving to college one morning you would not believe the EXACT same car as mine to be at a junction :o....only for the woman thats driving it to pull out infront of me . She obviously did not realise..must have had the 1.25 ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bILLOO Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 My mum had a mark.4 diesel but in the end she exchanged it for a Nissan Micra.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bILLOO Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 Oh, and talking about smiles on faces... I'm (un)lucky enough to have a guy at work who has exactly the same car, so everyday I can see what it's like when I drive into and out of the car park. Although too be honest... it does make me wish I had gone for red. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael P Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 you should park next to him, take both numberplates off each of the cars and hide and see his face. Dayum, life needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark t Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 When I got to the car park last night on the way to see Jimmy Carr, I got out of my car, only to spy a 10 plate Ocean Zetec looking lonely by the wall, so I moved next to it!

mark t Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 I was rapidly chasing a matching 3dr Vision Titanium on the way home, but with 4 roundabouts, and people not wanting to take the gaps at the roundabouts, I was just one diagonal back as we split!

Maffoo Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Leaving London today I drove past a 10 plate Zetec/Titanium in frozen white going i n the opposite direction.
