Sadly Leaving the micra

[BigBadBob]

Its a shame, but the micra has to go!

has been replaced with something faster and far better handling, and equipped!
Will most likely still lurk on the forums (i've paid for the year!)

The 'beast' is in buy and sell - open to any reasonable offer (I know it wont fetch loads)

See if you can guess what I got now, your clues are 1.7 engine with variable cam timing and 125 PS

1.7? erm...no idea...

 

[Antony]

easy, puma sport...

unless you have a diesel, no one makes a 1.7 petrol apart from the puma sport..

nice one mate..

keep in touch on the msc though....

Havent got a clue.

Skyline maybe lol. Ford Puma maybe. They had a 1.7 125bhp engine.

Damn, you beat me antony

If it is a Puma sport then big respect, always liked the looks of those, more than 125 PS though so would have to just be the normal one.

 

[BigBadBob]

D'oh made that far to easy!

Yes its a Puma, no its not a diesel!
Its a Millenium Ltd edition, one of 'only' 1000 made - with every extra going!
Still cant get used to comfy recaro seats, air con and great acceleration in every gear! Will post pics when I've actually taken some.

PS for anyone looking for a new car the handeling is awsome (even if it looks a bit girly! )

The pic attached isnt mine - but they look just the same!

Ford seats are good aren't they
My friend has a ST24, that has loverly seats, is the handling really as good as Fast Ford etc make it out to be?

 

[BigBadBob]

The seats are recarro sports seats with leather trim - hugs you round corners!

The handling is fantastic, there's just soo much grip. Havn't had a chance to really test it yet - but so far i'm amazed. No body roll, no sliding and from 4K rpm plenty of power.

Good choice, always liked the puma's

girlier than the micra :wasntme:

i know i know, its faster and its a coupe. but its defo not the most masculine car ford has ever made, out of the most recent times, puma being first and KA being second! :sleepy: (not being funny)
