Gday all

My name's Craig, I live in Bundy, and I'm 28. I've been lurking about on this particular forum for a little while, hehe :

Thought I had better introduce myself. You see, as of yesterday, I'm the owner of an '06 Tonic Zetec It's my first new car, and tbh, it was a real head-scratcher. I was tossing up on lots of 2nd hand stuff, from Skylines to 318is, Rexys to XR6ts.

I love driving, but I'm not super keen on the huge costs (and in most cases, image problems) associated with 'enthusiast' vehicles.

Anyhow, I was pretty sold on it before I got to the dealership for the test-drive yesterday. But man, what a nice car to drive :king:

I'll keep it stock for a bit, I think - at least until a few others show up on the road here. We'll see tho... hehe

Oh... and to the gamers/sim-racers out there, check out the sig.

Welcome Craig, your new Zetec I could imagine would indeed have to be a bit of a rarity in Bundaberg........I haven't even even seen another WQ Zetec on the roads here in Brisbane yet and iv'e had mine for nearly 2 months and drive into the City every day, to me that's half the appeal of the car, I like to have something a little different, something that makes people take that second glance at it etc, good luck with it, hope you enjoy it.

ScareyBear,

Just low-key stuff, I would say... to start with anyhow. Some nice 17 inch rims, get it lowered a bit, just the usual cosmetic stuff. I'll be looking for a few more kWs eventually, too, I spose.

But I'm in no rush really

His name is 'Si' (pronounced sigh).

hehe, as for the rarity, I've been keeping an eye out, a couple of LXes is all I've seen. Let's just keep this car our little secret huh?

Thanks for the welcome everyone.

Seems McDonalds Managers get paid well :

Anyway, welcome Trent!

Anything done to it apart from the sound system?

Haha welcome.

We should get along just fine : Haha That car, is actually mine :eclipsee_

So why didn't you check out a RSC 172? Surely it would have been only a few grand more... most are in the $17-21k bracket!

But yes, welcome. Trust me - you will enjoy the Fiesta! I sure did. Ask Mitch_LX, I had a massive smile on my face when I drove his LX 3 months ago!
