SandyCat Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 True story. A guy with keyless start goes to a posh place with valet parking. At the end of the day the guy is brought his car, the engine is left running and he gets in and drives several hundred miles home and then finds the valet still has the key.............. Don't make the same mistake ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philf1 Posted April 4, 2014 Share Posted April 4, 2014 Another true story; My son has Clio Sport with keyless entry and start. One morning gets in his car out on the street to take mother to work and it wont start then he realises his key is still in his bedroom. Totally forgot to lock it the night before lol.

The Dark Knight Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 Went out this morning and I'd love to say I made a Peugeot idiot look stupid but he did that himself lol. There's a hill back up to my road and it's a main road with 50 limit. I was driving slower as there was nobody around and I was changing stations on the radio. I was doing 35 in 4th and just as I accelerated, a battered Peugeot 106 appeared with big man exhaust and charged out to overtake. I backed off at 55 admittedly and in 5th. My plan was to let him go past and have his victory in his shed as racing is stupid but he couldn't get past LOL! The hill was too much for his bag of crap 106 and he had to pull back in as a bus was coming. Dear oh dear...! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dark Knight Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 OMG! Lovely new car and that happens. I would be livid cos they never learn. Always driving too close to be able to brake. Hope they are insured so you can claim of their insurance. Gits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartynS Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I was hoping you had just stopped as a witness and weren't part of it :(. As above, how bad is the damage? It really annoys me when other people can't drive properly and damage your stuff leading to a whole load of hassle sorting the insurance out.

MarcoZetec13 Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 Like a proud parent I want to share pics of mine! Maybe we should get all these ST owners together and attack some B roads, be honest who doesn't want to drive their ST while looking at a whole fleet of others?

The Dark Knight Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Anyone know what 'segmented' mean on my order status Sent from my GT-I9305 using Ford OC mobile app Perhaps it means there has been a big order of ST's that has been split into segments. The segments being individual customers. I don't actually know so I am just clutching at straws I'm afraid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Knight Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Been out for a spin on some proper country roads today for the first time. Epic handling and grip! The lack of bodyroll is remarkable.I thought the sports suspension on the ZS kept things in check but this is on another level! The downside is the tendency to tramline on rough-ish roads and you can feel it tugging at the wheel so you need to be alert but then you should be when driving quickly. Also, I fitted the Bluevision headlight bulbs today and it was only then that I realised the LED DRL's are the sidelights! I had some Bluevision sidelight bulbs ready to go in lol! I also thought the DRL's went out when the headlights came on but they don't. Learn something new everyday! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
