Ford are about to announce the end of production of the Fiesta. Chances are most here have had one at one time or another.
End of a icon.

My first car. Wrote it off by driving into an ethnic woman who sued me and my insurance company fucked up and didn’t pay so I got a CCJ against me . Got it overturned though and £1k compensation 6 years later which covered the cost of the shitty fiesta in the end

Had one stolen from South Park road about 20 years ago. Never bothered claiming on the insurance as I only gave £60 for it with 8 months mot.

I've had 4 of them... first was a brand new one I bought in 1987... 950 Popular... Red... had NOTHING inside what so ever... no radio nothing (had to put my own one in) also only had one wing mirror... first day out in it I had some cunt open the door on to mine... and then fucked off... nice dent... had the car 3 hours... not really a shag wagon as I found out the numerous times I fell out the car with cramp... later got done drink driving in it about 8 months later... so sold it and went to the US...
My other three Fiestas were less dramatic....

I have to say, it's a great little car, reminds me of my old Escort Mexico, just a tad more refined!

Yep, sold it for £500 as I'd been given a company car, if only I'd been Captain Hindsight...

You got a brand new car with nothing in it and only one wing mirror? Did you steal it straight from the factory?

My first car was a Y reg MK1 Fiesta and it was 11 years old when I bought it! Didn't even understand what a manual choke was when I got it.
