***NOW WITH PICS*** Nice Little Bargain, that!

[harrisg]

Good evening everyone!

My name is Glenn, but everybody calls me Chipper, and I've just bought my first Puma! I must admit I've always been sceptical of Fords, but this one has won me over! It's a 2000 1.4 in Black, with a fresh MOT (including bills for new brakes and a front wishbone) for £1150!

Really happy with the handling, only downside is the arches hve started to rust and it's been a bit battered and scraped!

I am located in Modbury, Near Plymouth, and will be looking for many bits of information as it comes along Seems like a friendly bunch of folk on here, hope to get to know you all!

Better pictures will follow tomorrow, promise!

welcome along, nice purchase.

Pumas look so good in black

Cheers for the welcomes guys!

The real test for the car will be when I come off leave and go back to work, as it'll be doing around 200 miles a day during the week. My previous car was a Nissan Primera, and that was bloody brill, but it was starting to rust terminally :-(

Thanks, naval nicknames are akways the best. Got a gay friend whose last name is Smith, so they cal him "Smudgepacker"! :lol:

 

[harrisg]

Actually, just a very quick Q, where is the steering column adjustment handle please?

 

[Scotty1.7]

There isn't one on the puma

 

[harrisg]

I wondered why I kept popping the bonnet..... :lol:

 

[pumapilot]

Welcome, my friend in Tavistock used to call Plymouth "Kitty City"

 

[harrisg]

Replace the "K" with "Sh" and you're halfway there! :lol:

I know what you mean though, I didn't realise how many of these cars there were, but there's hundreds of them!
