haven't posted up the fiesta before. got it for the missus' 21st birthday in march but she doesn't seem to want to pass her test so i've been driving both cars around for a bit.
puma needs a good machine polish and the rust by the n/s door sorting.
nothing fancy, just a wash.

wtf? erm thanks
she doesn't wear the trousers, i do
it is a nice car, wasn't keen on the shape at first but it's grown on me, handles well and returns over 50mpg at a steady 60mph which is good for commuting.
really don't know what car to get for myself, it needs to be something quite light and chuckable like the puma is but also more powerful (at least 7 to 60, maybe 6).

fuck you steve i'm going to post back my polished knob to you.
civics are silly money to insure for some reason. i love mk1 focus rs' but i would put about 10k a year on them and lower mileage ones are still quite a bit.

Can i come to your house, Ben G? It looks like a nice house for someone called Ben G. If i get a machine polisher in a few months then I'd let you pay me to polish the Puma.

they do but thats what happens when you use a sponge on a car 
also have 2 dents on the o/s door which need filling in. i'd like to do a DIY session on it but it would come out shit.

thought i'd strip most of the interior out of the puma:
i actually just wanted to spray the headlining black along with a and b pillar trims but ended up taking out the rear seats aswell.
i need to take the seatbelts out but can't find the right tool bit
bet it takes a second off my 0-60 at least.

spraying headlining black. couldn't get it out without taking everything else out.
there was also an obscene amount of chewing gum (unchewed) and compost everywhere so hoovered it all up.

about 30 minutes. rear seats took about 30 seconds to get out.
most annoying bits were the sunvisor holder bit which needed lots of pulling to get out.
