Thanks Yiannis, We have a number of cars between us at home. I keep the Clio under a cover at the back of the garage so isn't generally the easiest to get out, with the weather being generally nice this year I've been using the Elise when we have had a run on decent roads. Also wife has bought an MR2 roadster which I've been minting up so we've been using that too. I must say if I can prise the keys off my daughter to the Fiesta ST that is as satisfying to drive as any of them and a bit less frantic than the clio but a bit more sanitised in many ways
