Hi all,

Well today is a very special day Just bought myself a Ford Puma. First a little about me - I'm 21 from Cambridge and have been driving for 2 years total. My previous car was a 1999 T reg Ford Focus 1.8 16v Hatchback - Which i might add was a great car and was excellent fun to take around Brands Hatch . I was thinking of getting a 2.0 Focus as a replacement but couldn't really find any at the mo that really tickled my fancy (mileage, colour etc.) I thought what the hell lets look at Pumas and see what they go for these days. I found one immediately in my price range and less than half an hour away from where i lived - and by sheer coincidence works with my Dad at the nearby TC Harrison Ford garage :-D .

So without further a-do i present my Panther black 1999 1.7 16v Puma

Hi Fury!

Welcome to our corner of the Internet!

Are you out and about in now or do you have to wait to collect?

Nice to see another local member show up! Where in the Cambridge area are you?

Do you have any questions about your new purchase?

Hi Can't say i have ever seen an FRP in Cambridge (or anywhere for that matter!) so they must be well camoflagued. I have been driving the Puma for a couple days now and have immediately fallen in love she's just done 73k. I'm in Histon so about 10mins from the city centre!

I work over by Royston but live in Peterborough.

I was working in Cambridge for a few days the other week though using the FRP to get there!

There are a few around the Cambridgeshire area.

I seldom see any others (excluding my brothers or course)

Welcome along!

Watch out for a Millennium going down the A14 everyday as Cherie drives past you on the way to work!

You'll have to come to a local meet in Huntingdon in September:

Any questions, bit or small, about your new car, then just ask.
