Ford Fiesta Zetec S

When my FIAT punto had to go into the Garage for repair, my breakdown company arranged a replacement car, which I then hired for the duration until my car was fixed. The car I ended up with was the Ford Fiesta Zetec S. less than 1000 miles on the clock, brand new car smell and acceleration to knock the balls off a brass monkey. I knew this was going to be fun.
