We are also supposed to get a new Focus RS soon which is rumored to come with 350hp.
if its priced below 20k then fiesta would be an awesome DD. I checked the interior dimensions and It's almost identical to my scion with 2" less legroom in the rear but 1" inch more legroom in front . so i know ill fit ok.

really 350 HP in fwd!? Can you say torque steer .

still probably a kick a** car.

It has a bit of torque steer as is, and we're probably going to be pumping out 350+ lb-ft to the wheels soon.

Good job on the photos Mr.alcheng.

I know Elora very well. The Elora Gorge is a very happening place in the summer months.

I use to service a dealership in Elora. The house next to the dealership had grown, full size tiger in their backyard (in a fenced in area). I'll never forget the first time I saw the beast. It was in the middle of a Canadian winter, I pull into the dealership parking lot, get out of my van and hear this deep growl. I immediately looked up to see this large cat trying to eat a giant beef roast (raw of course). Even more odd, it was on top of a picnic table. Coolest and strangest thing I have ever seen in my life.

You know Elora Mr.GaleForce?? You are everywhere bud...

It's almost 3 hours from Coburg..!!

It is a very nice town, lots of historic houses and places, too bad we arrived there late that day (2pm-ish) and I was very sick thus didn't have the strength and time to walk around the town, I should go there again in the summer!!

Yes, I do get around.

The majority of my life was spent working in Kitchener/Cambridge area. One of my jobs required driving. I was based in Cambridge and could drive as far north as Fergus, Harriston, Listowel, and as far south as Simcoe, Brantford. I haven't been to Elora since moving out this way

Just arrived home from my awesome drive home. Love the sound of the FI exhaust burbling along.

Do you have any "ass" pictures of your Z with the FI exhaust?

If you do, could I see one?

[COLOR="rgb(255, 0, 255)"]Tonight, I am shooting a friend's wedding rehearsal and dinner, followed by the actual wedding tomorrow. I am regretting telling him 6 months ago something brilliant like "I'll shoot your wedding -- sounds like fun". Let's just say that this moment will not be in the chapter of my memoirs titled "The Really Smart Things I Said in my Life"[/COLOR].

Then, Sunday -- Kate (Mrs. Dr. Dr. onzedge) is off to New Orleans for the week to be a big-shot presenter at some kind of laboratory animal brain surgeon scientist conference where she will be the hottest scientist and wow the nerd crowd with words and phrases like "transgenic insertions", "conditional genetic knockouts" and "phenotyping the F1 generation heterozygous mouse". It should be a real knee-slapper.

That, my friends, is how we celebrate around here.
Lol! Been there , done that on wedding shoots...its hard to say "no thank you" gracefully
there are much worse ways (i'm sure we have both experienced them to celebrate. Love the mouse phrase teehee...i speak geek and like humongous words

Is that explanation strong enough? I'm sure some are insulted, but tough.

Don't second guess yourself.
