How's the old saying go?

"If you've got nothing nice to say, then say nothing"

:

Sometimes it's best to ignore posts that you might consider poorly written / inappropriate than inflame the situation.

I had a flown blown forum argument with a guy once, he called me every name under the sun. Then when I actually met him at a gig, he kissed my *** & backpeddled on all the he said.

I nearly bought one before the Fiesta. Great car the SRi. But I seriously liked the styiling and unique-ness of Fiesta enough to sway me into buying that instead.

I cant recall Barina SRi in any BFYB. Maybe you're thinking of Astra Turbo SRi because it won BFYB once.

May not of been BFYB then? Whatever it was the vehicles were divided into price categories and the Barina SRi was creaming the opposition and winning easily in it's bracket.

SRi Barina won it's class numerous times. In the BFYB 2004 issue, the Fiesta Zetec was 3rd, the SP23 2nd, and the Barina SRi first.... defintely exists and it is a great car!

But as danny said, I loved the styling of the Fiesta more. That and the fact EVERY SRi I see is driven by a female (well most) even though they are manual.

And hey... thats the name of my car! Clitoris! CLItORiS - CLIORS
