Very inspiring
I also jettison the back seats of all my festys. I did a 3 week long tour of Manitoba and Saskatchewan a few years ago in a tired 89 with 220K on the clock (and worn out rear struts if I remember correctly) I averaged 50 MPH on the trip (mostly back roads) and often got 50 MPG. I slept in the back a lot and had a great time. Life is about the simple pleasures appreciated. Thanks for jogging my memory
Because....45 MPG.Comment

Yes, the car is OEM (stock). I put Kia Rio struts on this spring after a hard winter loosened up the front end but do nto like them. I'm just trying to keep the car running. I'm happy with the original configuration an dnot planning on putting on Aspire wheels or any other modifications. Bert put Aspire wheels on his cars and I got some of his 12" tires so I'm good for years to come.
Team: I still have the owner's manual package and the key fob from the dealership but don't know abut the bil of sale, would have to look through a pile of old papers. When I took the car to the dealership last year I left the package on the passenger seat so they could see I originally bought it there.Last edited by WmWatt; 05-12-2014, 06:41 AM.Original owner of silver grey carburetted 1989 Festiva. 105k km as of June 2006. 140k km as of June 2021.Comment

Nitro: Fiesta is older than Festiva. Made in Germany in the 1970's. Knew someone who had one here in Ottawa. Don't know history of the name but think it has been recently reused by Ford. When I search the Internet on Festiva Google asks if I meant Fiesta.
