Hello all,

Happy owner of a 2010 Fiesta Zetec S for just over 2 weeks now; first Ford and after driving around about 1000 miles in it so far will most likely not be my last! Best car I've ever driven... so far.

Looking forward to hopefully getting more involved with the forums in the future, some very interesting topics from what I've seen so far.

    Welcome to the family Jake,

    Where abouts in Kent do you live? presuming Medway towns as I think you got your car from ol' Dagenham Motors?

    Thank's :)

    Medway towns would be correct, fairly close to Gravesend.

    aaah I think I know, around the Shorne kind of area!

    Thats a bit of a treck though, coming from there to DM, theres an SMC in Gravesend! or was it the right car was over there?

    Yup around that area.

    Was simply the right car was there, although there are 3 dealers about a 5-10 minute drive from me, Gravesend, Strood, and Gillingham; spoilt for choice!

    yeah we are very much full of dealers, but given that we are one of the poorest sub-counties to live in and have massive debt crisis, I did always wonder why our area had so many dealerships! between Ford, Vauxhall, Seat, Nissan,Hyundai, Suzuki and Land Rover, I think I worked out there where about 30 dealerships in the local area!

    WOW........ 1000 miles in 2 weeks...... you must be very happy with your car :)

    Since May this year I drive a Ford Fusion 1.4 TDCi (2005 model) and it's also my 1st Ford.

    I'm very happy with it, so there will be more Fords to come :)

    Yeah I'm very happy with it, seems like I'm not the only one!

    And @Jeebo; It does seem a little odd to have so many in the area you're right, I know of a few but mostly ford and vauxhall ones.

    Didn't realise there were around 30 in total! Think I'm going to be playing spot the dealership when I'm driving around..
