Hi,

I've been interested in these cars ever since Ford Racing/Performance, and Malcolm Wilson Motorsports started campaigning them in the World Rally Championships, instead of the Focus model.

I come from the 4th gen, GM f body/LSx community, so don't HATE me for that :hide: but have ALWAYS been a fan of ALL of the Ford 'RS' models, and their respective World Rally race versions, regardless of FIA Group, or age, going all the way back to the very first, RWD, BDA engined, Escort Cossies.
(I even had a subscription to the Brit "Fast Fords" rag at one time!)

As it stands today, the Fiesta model is not only the ONLY actual domestic nameplate currently rallied on the WRC, it is the only nameplate PERIOD rallied in that series available from ANY manufacturer in this country (albeit of course, not in the form in which it competes in that championship [sad] ).

The Blue Oval would have a world DESTROYER on their hands IF they ever decide to release a street version of a light weight, COUPE, Fiesta RS with a 2 liter Ecoboost and a great 6 speed, AWD system!!!!! [biggrin]

Welcome. I actually grew up in Bucks County and just took a drive through New Hope in the FiST over the holidays. Nice area.

Hi,
I am a neighbor from NE Philly, who became a new FiST owner of a 2014 Fiesta ST yesterday.
Glad to see so many FiST owners in the area.

Welcome from another neighbor, I'm over in Pottstown! If you see a Green Envy in the area, it could be me!

Enjoy!

Yeah these cars are pretty hard to find on the road. I found one at my work parking lot twice, but haven't seen it since. I've seen a few FoST in a past couple months though.

How do you guys like driving the ST around this area?
I know Pottstown/West Chester and Lancaster has some really nice roads.
Philly isn't as fortunate, but it's hard not to have fun driving this anywhere.

Was sitting at the light on the intersection of Ridge Pike and 363 this morning in, erm I guess that would be Trooper, and saw a white FiST going past me on the other side or the road. Didn't get a chance to wave or anything as in my on the way to work daze, I only caught him/her as the car went past. Anybody?

Then I made my right turn, and lo and behold saw a blue FoST within 50 yds ! Before this morning I had only ever seen one FiST in my 1 year of ownership, and about 3 FoSTs.
