Just wondered how you got into working on cars? And how you developed your skills further? For me, it was a money saver and from then on became a hobby. Have mainly learnt more through this forum but occasionally wish I had an experienced mate to work with me when I come to tackle jobs that are just out of my skill level! Haynes has helped too (sometimes). I've wondered about volunteering at a garage a few hours a month but don't know if this is ever done or anyone would allow this.......... What about you?

Good Morning all, I have only recently joined the Ford Owners Club Forum and I wanted to share my very own Ford vehicle with you. It is my first car and I do not have an extensive knowledge about all things automotive like many of you reading this very post. I purchased the car last week from a private seller, whom I must say appeared to be very reluctant to see it go. It is in fantastic condition. Family owned since it was registered way back in 2002. For a Ford Fiesta 13 years of age it is doing rather well. Feel free to take a look at the images I have attached and see for yourself. The car is a Ford Fiesta 1.25 Zetec 3dr 02 REG Special Edition. It has a brand new camblet, MOT pass with zero advisories in August and it has only got 73K on the clock. I have also kitted the car out with a brand new Sony DAB stereo, official Ford seat belt pads and leather gear knob to accompany the leather seats. Reaffirming my ealirer comment, I do not know much about this car or Ford in general so if anyone can shed some light about the Vehicle and other Fiestas that would be great. Thanks!

Dear Ford Owner Members Over the last year I have been collecting many different people's stories about their romantic and funny experiences in cars for an art installation called 'Back Seat Confessions' I am also collecting funny car images that people would like to contribute .. I am particularly interested in stories relating to romance, arguments and funny incidents to include in the narratives .. I would be delighted if you'd like to contribute your images or stories to the project - Please also get in touch if you'd like your car to feature in the installation - I am ideally looking for a Capri or Escort for the day on Sat 28th June for The Fling Festival in Chelmsford... You can see some documentation on my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MissMurphysBackSeatConfessions or on http://www.charliemurphy.co.uk/current-projects/back-seat-confessions/ I look forward to hearing from you Many thanks Charlie Murphy
