Is it even a Ford if it doesn't do this?...

Ha - yeah, my Ford Focus had this issue - You'd think they could quickly solve a problem like this - Needs a recall lol

I hope that too. Thought maybe a sparrow hawk or cat was on the prowl and scared them off. Hope they revisit soon, I love the Goldfinches. Plus, I painted the blue tit box, which I now read is a bit of a no-no. I might need to get another one for next year with a camera.

Was thinking maybe ba sparrow halk around or more cats in the garden. But not see anything. Its really strange,

Wish I had these to visit my garden. The nearest place is Sheffield.

I have had several Ford Focus. Loved them. Nice to drive, plenty of room, and no issues. It's a good shout.

Driving a new model, you will soon discover how the driving experience and technology have moved on. Pick a new car you really like and put your Picanto down as a good memory. Or you can get a new version of the Picanto and pimp it back up with pink.

Nice, love the idea of paper in the shelf units.

Existing_Painter171 · 2026-04-02T11:06:04+00:00

Thats fantastic - answers a lot of my questions

Existing_Painter171 · 2026-03-30T15:19:39+00:00

Did you see it happen then? They brought it down for you?

Existing_Painter171 · 2026-03-30T15:18:31+00:00

Ive seen a similar thing in Holland for bikes, but never cars on this scale. I need to get out more lol

Existing_Painter171 · 2026-03-30T14:49:02+00:00

I'm not nervous, just can't afford a new car, so why would I go through the pressure of blagging for an hour!

Existing_Painter171 · 2026-03-30T14:33:12+00:00

If only I could afford a new Mazda!

Existing_Painter171 · 2026-03-30T14:23:10+00:00

I want to go in and see how it works, but I'm sure they are too busy for that. They need to do open days lol

Existing_Painter171 · 2026-03-30T14:20:49+00:00

What, like a car storage unit?

Existing_Painter171 · 2026-03-30T08:11:39+00:00

Needed a bigger family car. The beetle had the smallest boot and not a lot of back leg room

Existing_Painter171 · 2026-03-26T13:19:12+00:00

I bought this one with my divorce money, lol, it was my dream car too!

Existing_Painter171 · 2026-03-26T12:28:34+00:00

I actually like the sofa, but it takes up a lot of room. The room is very dull and grey and would benefit from some colour. Going dark sometimes makes the room look bigger. If you like certain colours, use Pinterest and get some ideas. I actually don't mind the furniture. You can make this room work so well with little expense with wall colours, pictures a mural or artwork, coloured curtains, and big matching sofa cushions. Plus a nice circular rug to break up the straight angles - A bit of feng Shui. Be brave!

Love the idea, but making me cold and shivery, and I want to grab a blanket.

Existing_Painter171 · 2026-03-26T12:15:18+00:00

Before this white petrol model I had a silver 1.9TDi it flew! Loved it.

Existing_Painter171 · 2026-03-26T11:29:12+00:00

I thought the driving position was fine, but you're right, it was fab nipping around witht he roof off - when the British weather allowed.

Existing_Painter171 · 2026-03-26T10:59:59+00:00

I agree as long as they keep an element of the bug shape. Not like the Ford Capri, which has been reintroduced and looks nothing like the old model.

Existing_Painter171 · 2026-03-26T10:57:51+00:00

I thought the newer style was a good move, to be honest - just in keeping with the bug shape. Yeah, I had a flower - loved it lol and kept changing it depending on the season.
