Fresh meat, eh?
Seems this is the place to come to intro myself and say why I'm here. I have only ever owned one Ford in my life before - in fact it was my first! (Google: Ford Falcon XJ). Many years and may cars later I'm drawn back (ahh, the cycle of life

) but the reasons are quite different. My long commute was hellish expensive with my old Honda Accord 2.4 auto (at 28mpg) so sold it for a '10 plate Fiesta Titanium 1.6 TDI to solve my downsizing problem and average about 57mpg now.
So, will browse through these forums and get in the Fiesta zone

for general impressions, links, recommendations and see how this pans out. Laterz
