HI Guy's
Just to let you know, I took the Fez out for a real drivers, drive yesterday. I took it up to Kinglake, Flowerdale, Yea and St Andrews. What a drive I love my Fez more with every tight bend and every gear change. I hope you like the pics I took on my drive. http://pbckt.com/sx.dYcd |

Great job man. I have to say, you got the best colour too!
While I agree, I find the MK7 Fiesta can have a tendency to roll, and while it's fairly controlled it's rather unsettling if going fast around brisk corners such as hammerheads etc. Needs a slightly stiffer setup and it'd be near perfect. I have to say though for what the car is it's absolutely superb, and body roll only comes in at 7/10. Great pictures by the way.

Thanks for the positive comments about the photos. I must agree there is a bit of body roll back too back corners. It's not too bad for a small road friendly hatch. I was thinking of lowere springs I wonder if that would help?

nice photos dude!
i agree with danny with the handling... also i notice if your really hooking into a corner, you can feel the whole cars weight move on the tyres just for a split second before it hunkers down... still a fantastic twisting road drive though |

Very nice shots (although I'm a bit biased toward white Fiestas myself).
