Wow, that happened a lot quicker than I thought it ever would, but I think I'm finally over the shock of suddenly becoming a new father. Of course I'd been following the development of the new Fiesta, but with already having a (somewhat... kinda... maybe) reliable mode of transport I didn't figure on buying one right away. Then one fine day about a month ago the wife and I are minding our own business, driving by the local Ford dealer and BAM! Wife says I need a new car. A sparkly orange car.
So I say to myself; who am I to contend with the missus when she makes such a convincing argument?
So, just about a month ago (which was 4 days after we first stopped in to look at the car?!?!) we brought home a new baby sibling for Recall. 10 years younger, but just as bright, and just as much fun to drive.
Wife has taken to calling this one 'Mango'.
2011 Ford Fiesta SES hatchback in Yellow Blaze Tri-coat Metallic. 5-spd, SYNC, black leather interior, heated seats; loaded.
First family photos. Mango trying out big brother's Euro plate:
One month and 3500 miles later. I've swapped out the chrome LED bezels for black ones and gotten the Fiesta it's own Euro plate:
According to the wife, I'm not allowed to 'mod' this one for at least a year. But she never said anything about stock-piling parts and leaving it in the shop for a week once it hits that one year mark. I'm holding her to it
Enjoy guys! [cheers]
