Hi everyone,
My names daz, i'm 24 from sheffield, and i've just acquired a 2000 red 1.7. for the stunning price of £200!
I'm a newbie here, but was previously a fiesta owners club member where the 1.7 puma engine became very familiar to me.
I have owned some big-ish power stuff previously (300+ bhp) but needed a cheap but fun runabout due to changing job to something that requires lots of motorway miles.
Ok so previous car history time!
First off we have the fez!
I had a lot of plans for this car, but due to it dying a horrible rusty death they never came to fruition.
After that i bought my '98 impreza turbo
A massively capable and fun car, just very thirsty and an absolute joke to insure.
Then i went for a cheaper option and something a bit different, a '95 honda prelude
Eventually the turbo and silly power bug bit me again, so i bought a '98 toyota celica gt four
My favourite and by far the quickest car to date, but one i sadly had to let go (18mpg at best got a bit tiresome)
and finally the one you probably want to see, and the newest edition to my fairly interesting car history.
The '00 1.7 puma
I was actually majorly impressed by just how much fun this is to drive. responsive and revvy little engine, and very easy to throw into a corner. plus quite easy on the wallet (especially with a £200 purchase price).
for now i'm just going to give her a tidy up, but as these things always seem to end up becoming a project, i'll start a project thread and see where we end up haha.
