Hello! New Millennium/millenium (?) Owner

[shaunyb2]

Hi all,

I've just purchased a Millenium (can anyone confirm the spelling?) so thought I'd join a couple of forums, already found them very helpful and friendly - my Puma came with personalised reg 'JIG' so easily recognisable if you see any Millies in the Colchester/Stansted area!
I can't find the production number on the car anywhere which is a shame, I know it's a X reg. Otherwise I am very pleased with it, no rust, low mileage, quick to heat up on the cold mornings. The interior mirror fell off today though and I can never get the seatbelt in without looking!

Before this I had a Peugeot 205 CTI, I had been looking for another convertible, but I realised nothing really took my eye (nothing sensible anyway!) so I looked at hardtops, and the Puma came to mind, which I had always liked the shape of. Seen someone's photoshop job of a Puma soft top which was interesting!

I've always been into classic cars, grew up with old Bedford trucks and steam engines. One day I will have a vintage vehicle alongside my main car, but for now the Puma appealed to me as something a little different, but also a sensible daily drive - I've always done car shows and road runs etc, great fun/beer! and I know there is a good Ford show at Battlesbridge as I've been with a mate's Cortina Carousel - and through the forums I've also found the Fiesta in the Park show, but if there's any other good ones that Pumas can attend let me know, Bromley Pageant etc??

Cheers,

Shaun

Nice millie you got there!

Ps... it's spelled 'millenium' (two 'n's) :grin:

Welcome along! Unfortunately the Millie's didn't get a production number when they were made. The new owner had to apply for it which is a bit daft.

Two l's and 2 n's.
(But then if you forget either, the forum will correct the spelling for you :lol: )

Ps... it's spelled 'millennium' (one 'n') :grin:

:?

Trying to confuse us?

Two 'n' definitely

Welcome

Welcome along. I know exactly which Millie you bought (the ad is still up on Autotrader... :roll as it was one I was tempted to have a look at.

If you're in doubt of the spelling, ignore your V5 (mine was wrong) and check your centre caps instead.

Lol.... well the spelling was correct, just not the description of it!

Bit off topic, but there would appear to be a porn link pop up when you clic the OPs pic. Ooops.

Not when I clicked it

But then I do have ABP which probably kill it. I just see the car.

Looks like you might have a virus then as it's fine when I click the picture too.

I saw a dark haired bit of fluff looking like she was posing in front of a camera.

Don't see her now though... :?

Ok, I got the porno pop-up too when I clicked on the photo..... I'm on a netbook with no AV, which is probably why some of you didn't get it (auto blocked by your AV).

The porn pop-up is supplied purely due to the (questionable) image hosting site the OP has used. The OP hasn't put anything dodgy there himself; he's just used an image hosting site that has what appear to be live web-cams of naughty girls, as pop-ups!

That said, as we all know, with dodgy pop ups and naughty girls can come viruses so if you have no AV, I would advise against clicking on the car image in the 1st post.

Nauuughhhhty !! ose2:

Oops, sorry for the Puma porn guys! I am used to just attaching photos and couldn't see how to on here, so opted for the first image host site that came to mind!

CHeers for the welcomes, the automatic correction of millennium is fantastic! Definitely haven't got the production number but that's not the end of the world.

Yaa i got the porn pop up in work lol!

in addition to the site on Cherie's link, I find http://www.servimg.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; absolutely the most braindead simple (and quick) to use.

Once your registered (just email & password), when you go to http://www.servimg.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; it's just (i) hit the upload button, (ii) browse to your pics, (iii) choose any size scaling, (iv) hit 'host' and your done..... it gives you various link & tag types once uploaded too. :grin:
