:lol: Haha sorry that tickled me

It's a fair point MancLad, I would think however it's something that happens on a lot of forums. There are no addresses, bank details, not many d.o.b. If anyone thinks they have given away too much info then they should edit their posts.

What a lovely uplifting post, thanks so much for that.. <_<

I know im sorry... :(

I'm like that, there's just no time. I'd love to be able to spend a good few hours getting mine spotless, but at the moment mine looks like it's done a few laps of the Sahara desert. :rolleyes:

Actually Manclad you are correct. Names, dates of birth, pets names etc are all stuff that unscrupulous people need for identity theft. We are amongst friends here and fellow fiesta lovers but this is a public forum and everyone, everywhere can read what is on here and pick out little nuggets of info.

Boring stuff I know but there are some nasty peeps out there who just wanna spoil our fun.

Ok, sleep well and don't have nightmares :ph34r: :)

I have no idea what I want to do when I'm finished, the problem is when you're Qualified it's all paperwork and very little contact with the kids :( I'm thinking I'd like to maybe go into primary teaching eventually... Who knows!

My 1st Ka was Aquarius Blue, that was such a gorgeous colour. I've seen the wee Ka a few times since I sold it - the little car door dent is still there. The new owner isn't taking as much care of it as I did!

Here we go then,

My name is Andy, i'm 39 and live in East Hertfordsire with my wonderful girlfriend Lindsay, no rug rats but Lindsay's baby is her Focus CC3

Currently working for an air ambulance company at Heathrow either manning an ambulance or flying around the world repatriating the sick and injured.

I'm quite happy that with the exception of the new Mini I brought in 1984 which I saw a few times after I sold it, that I have never seen any of my cars once I have let them go.

taz 777 - amazing job the air ambulance. can't believe you get no government charity. One of the charities I ALWAYS support. Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Ambulance attended a car crash sadly with Matt's best friends brother in, sadly he died but Air Ambulance were there within minutes and saved 2 others. Amazing support and job you have.

My Name is Jex and recently turned 27 years old.

I live in London with my parents, but I feel im still too young to know what a mortgage is :P

I’ve been with my girlfriend for 6 years (seven years on July).

I currently work for the Anthony Nolan Trust as a laboratory scientist, Royal Free Hospital.

I passed my driving test first time with BSM in March 2009, I had around 40 lessons, the Fiesta is my first car.

Hobbies include archery, travelling, eating out, and I guess photography (was a new years resolution).

...Im not much of a saver, though I am trying!
