Title: Scorp Gone & New Car
Post by lube-o-rific on Feb 2^nd, 2009, 6:06pm

Hey guys! I've been gone for some time now, I hope that everyone's OK and not to slippy in the snow and ice.

My Scorp's gearbox went just after Christmas, I was dead gutted. Took a lot of effort to get her out of the garage and onto the towtruck.

Unfortunately I didn't have the room to spare so I was given £170 by the scrappy guys, I salvaged the CD Changer magazine and a few bits and bobs and said farewell.

Really feeling depressed, I went down to my local FMD with a friend. Now I knew I wanted something a lot newer to minimise that sinking feeling when I hear the slightest noise!

I reevaluated my needs, after all I've broken up with the girlfriend and no further need for all the room so I though that a Focus ST would be a good idea, but the local dealer had no used in group stock, so I decided to test a Fiesta ST. Glad I had as it's a mad little rocket.

Picked her up on Jan 9th and she fills the Scorp void well, well she's totally different so there's no comparison. At least I had a Scorp and experienced the opulence of Ford's best skills at work. I'm 3bhp up with the 2.0 Duratec Fiesta on the 12v Scorp as standard, with plans for some mods.

Here's a few pics:

hi there

nice wee car. only thing i've heard about them is that they seem to only like certain types/brands of tyres.

maybe best to stick to what ford put on when it was made.

good luck with it.
