For me, it is these two girls:

Your turn!

DISCLAIMER - Technically I don't own either, since I'm 15. But both are my mother's, and I keep them maintained, cleaned, and love them both, so in my heart, they are mine! On my 17th birthday, the Ford Fiesta (blue car) will be mine, and who knows, I may buy the Rover 200 (red car) from my mother too some time.

Ah, 15. No one is that young!

Good on ya - glad as heck to see someone of your age taking an interest in mowers, trimmers, vacuum cleaners and other things that need "fixin"!

Nice car. You did WAY better than I did at your age! What do you think of the new Fiesta?

The new Fiesta...

Being a Ford, it is good, but personally modern cars have too many gadgets for me!

More to go wrong too.

Plus, they have those things, called economical engines! Who needs 'em! :laughing:

On a serious note, the 1.25 litre engine in the Ford produces 45MPG, so it isn't that bad for an old 75,000 miler!

I have a 1991 Dodge Dynasty - 3.8L V6.

With the price of fuel - I'd love a fiesta!

Here it is around £1.30 per litre. That is the equivalent of $2.10 per litre.

Well, my maths would say more like $10.50... 5 litres in a gallon. Or at least it is here in the UK.
