A lot has changed in the last 10 years.
I know i joined somewhere in 2002, but already viewed the forum since i bought a Fiesta XR2i back in 1999.

Since the last 10 years :
- got 1 fiesta wrecked (mk3.. the xr2i) but not by my fault.
- i rebuilt the current fiesta (mk3 with RST engine) 2 times (well my father in law did)
- put in the FRST engine somewhere around Juli 2002, replaced the blown one in 2003 for a fully rebuilt example.
- Got married once, and not seperated since :-p
- moved from my parents to a flat, and then to a house.
- bought 2 homes, sold one
- got a kid (-: now 3,5 years old
- got my bachalors degree in computer science
- started at the employer where i had my internship, and still work there
- upped the power of my fiesta from 105, to 133, and up to 175, before blowing up the engine. Then bought a UK scrapper, rebuilt the engine modified it, and now up to 198 BHP.
- had 5 other cars as daily drivers (Polo 6n2 SDI, Focus 1.6 5d, Focus 1.6 3d, Fiesta mk6 facelift ZS, and currently a familiy tractor (Mitsubishi ASX)
- Bought 4 cars for the misses in the mean time: a yellow fiat seicento sporting, a black seicento sporting abarth, a Black MK6 facelift ZS, which is being traded in for a 5d 2011 fiesta titanium with sony X pack.


i haven't posted that much lately, and don't know all the new faces around, but used to be rather active on here.
Learned a lot, but most of my questions were out of the league of most viewers.

Seeing as everyone else is doing these "whats happend in the last ten years" posts I'll chuck mine in.

Sold the Fiesta to Nomad.
Sold all my records/decks etc.
Stopped taking drugs.
Bought a MK6 escort - sold that.
Met my current partner who has two kids of her own..
Rented a lock up.
Bought my dads Mk5 fiesta off him - giving it to the old step son.
Still work at the same fudgekin place.
Started cycling. Currently own three BMX's, a road hybrid and a hard tail MTB.
And not smoked a fag for 12 days. :Q
Now currently driving a MK7 Zetec S Fiesta TDCi.
Saving for another project. (Shouldn't be too hard as I doubt I'll offer more than 500 quid for it! :lol: )
Not seen anyone from FT for years. At least 5 or 6 I think.
Too old and too bald.

Damn, can't believe I missed this thread. I still visit FT regularly to see what's going on, and maybe one day in the next 10 years I will finish a project :lol:

I still lived at home and was still at Sixth Form when I first joined. The Fiesta scene was good back then, load of people used to use MSN and would be online a lot of the time. I still remember some 'meaning of life' type discussions with Ade :lol:

Since joining I have:
- Graduated from Uni.
- Bought and sold many Fiesta parts on FT
- Bought two FRST's via FT or members
- Made many fiends via FT who I'm still in touch with, not as regularly, but I will to keep in touch
- Moved out of from my parents
- Moved to London from the Midlands
- Lived in various rented flats around London
- Bought my own home in London.
- Met my girlfriend with whom I bought a house with

I've bought and sold numerous 'interesting' cars but still have a soft spot for a Mk3 Fiesta.
