Title: Say Hello
Post by malak on Aug 26^th, 2008, 7:58am

Hi Scorpio Lovers ;D

I’ve been forum user for a long time, and I’ve read all web site during this time :P ..But I’m so shy that I’ve not posted any message…but today I think it’s time to solve it ;D ;D

I’m a Scorpio owner since 1998. I’m Spaniard from Basque Country. I bought mine in Madrid. I own the last model with 2.0 16v engine with almost 140 horse power. Recently (well two years ago) I changed my plate from the Spanish old model (with city letter and so on) to new European model (with only four digits and three letter).

Due to my work I rent cars monthly in order to travel by Spain. (cars I rent are type C or D, you know, BMW 320, Audi A4, Fiat Bravo, Seat Leon, Toyota Auris, Peugeot 407, and so on) but I’ve never rent a car better than my beloved “Black Bullet” :):)

Well…..I must admit that this is not full true…once I rented a BMW 530d ..And It was as better as my Scorpio :-[ :-[

I use my car on weekends and every holiday (as I told you, during labour days I’ve rented cars). I like driving too much, and for example, I have travel around France and Germany from Spain with my car. I’ve gone to France F1 GP (Magny Course) and to German F1 GP (Hockenheim) from Bilbao with my Scorpio.

You can see pictures in my blog here:

This was the post I dedicated to my car. I feel sorry it is in Spanish, but at least you can click images to see them bigger.

I’ve done in almost 10 years 130.000 kilometres, and, as you can see, Scorpio is like first day.

I have had only two problems. Several months ago when I started the engine, my gauges always spin up and down and I lose my on board computer data. I took my Scorpio to Ford and they changed my battery. It was fixed, I think. And two years after bought it, the inside mirror broken. Certain liquid was inside it and you could not see clearly, and the automatic darkness feature did not work. I changed it.

Best regards to everybody

:D :D

Lol ...and thanks...but there are several errors and mistakes, of course, automatic translations are not so acuracy. But I've read it again and I found several mistakes in my text in Spanish :P :P :P ..

Where I say: "...My car was only 30.000km on the engine when I got him in 2006..." I wanted to say: "..My car was only 30.000 km on the engine when I changed plate in 2006". Until that date, my plate was M-XXXX-TB.

From 2006 until today I've done 100.000 km. In my travels around europe (Germany, France, Spa and Monza).

Best regards

jejeje...the comparison for the boot, in terms of dead bodies, was a joke from a friend :P :P :P

Of course, nowadays there are cars equipped with a bigger boot :o, but when I bought it, it was incredible huge :) and then was the joke }{

I hope nobody has test it ..even Gozz 8) 8)

..and after reading forum, I’m sure we all suffer from the same disease :) :) :)

Best regards
