Nothing to tell Adrian, just thinking about 'sensible' cars for a change

I spotted one of these in white the other day - actually looks rather nice in the flesh. Could this be a fiesta replacement?

Definetely not, in fact that Fiesta was replaced by a Colt over the weekend, great little cars!

Ah - yeah - Colts are crackers.. even the non-mivecs are lovely little things.. And you'd want to be trying pretty hard to actually break it

I'd rather the current shape accord Euro R. Also that particular one above looks a bit too chav for my liking. I believe the price is way OTT also.
