Curious to see how many BC'ers we have as it sounds like there are a few.

When did you take delivery? Awaiting delivery? Purchasing later? Undecided?
Where in BC are you?
What color did you/are you getting?
Options?
Previous vehicle?

I am fully paid (Trade-in) , awaiting delivery.. expecting October.
I am currently on the border between S.Surrey/N.Delta but grew up in East Vancouver most of my life.
I am getting a Green Envy.
No other options aside from Green Envy and the (Canadian spec Recaro package.)
Previous vehicle was a 2010 SVT Raptor 6.2L Blue Flame Metallic.

Mine was dealer stock built June 10.

Tuxedo black, premium rims and painted calipers. Molten orange Recaros.

No other BC'ers yet? Looks like although there's a few of us here, we're pretty spread out so far. Not going to run into a lot of other Fiesta ST's at this rate... lol Well, maybe some off the street walk ins who pick up some dealer stock cars.

I've had my car for just over 2 weeks now and can assure you we belong to an exclusive club. Not too many people even know what it is. I had someone come up to me the other day and say 'nice Focus ST "

LOVE the car BTW :thumbsup:

I live closer to Vancouver WASHINGTON than Vancouver BC, but i get up that way once a year for the All British Field Meet held at the Van Dusen Gardens on Victoria Day Weekend. If you're in the area at that time, stop by and swop tales. The car I take to the show is pictured, an Austin Healey Sprite.

Hey TapTapPull, I'm from Prince George too. I have had my PB FiST for about 3 weeks now. I've got a temporary set of winter steelies from PG Motors. As part of the winter tire package I'm waiting for a set of 16" ford aluminium wheels. Should be here later this week. I guess ford doesn't recommend 15" wheels due to the brakes having not enough cooling.

I think there's 3 FiST in town, there's a molten orange one too.

Did you order your car from the factory?

Car looks great ! You have that kind of snow already? We haven't had any yet down here. Bouncing between -4 to 16 ish? Tonight it's only like 4.
My ride will likely be tucked in the garage most of the week as the temps are too low for the summers... I'll probably be driving south of the border to pick up a winter set on the weekend or something.

Hey, Marc! How cool to know another PG'er is on this site! I knew a Molten Orange one was on its way - my salesman said he would call me when it arrived! Didn't know it had come and been sold! And I also didn't know your PB FiST was out and about, too!

3 FiSTs in PG - that's so cool!! I cannot wait to pull up next to yourself or the MO! I've been away pretty much all of Oct and Nov for work so I haven't been driving around much myself.

Right after Top Gear put out that episode comparing the Renault, Peugot, and FiST, I began researching my options. I contacted PG Motors in July and put a deposit on their only-at-the-time dealer stock FiST. I took delivery early-September!

I bought the tires and steelies from PG Motors, as well - 16" steelies with Bridgestone Blizzak tires. Again, I got the car and ordered the winter tires pretty early, so I luckily beat the rush and didn't have to wait.

Geez a trio nice ! I'm in Penticton and have had mine since late September. I have yet to see or even hear of anther FiST in the southern interior.
The couple of times I popped into our local dealer the salesman went ga-ga over it :mischievous: lol

I'm taking my FiST on a roadtrip this weekend! Fully expecting a chip in the windshield, but whatever.

Friday night, Prince George to Kamloops. Saturday, Kamloops to Kelowna to watch a CIS basketball game. Party Saturday night in Kelowna, then back to Prince George whenever I'm awake Sunday.

Mikeygti, if you're around Kelowna Sat or Sun let's grab coffee!

I'll be down another time, I'm sure! And next summer I definitely want to road trip through the Okanagan - Penticton included!

It was a messy drive down! Front and rear wipers were working overtime

Car was terrific on the highway. Drove from Prince George to Kamloops with just under 1/4 of the tank leftover More than enough passing power.

Wow it's gotten really quiet in here... Just waiting for winter rims and tires to come and be installed before we pick up our FiST (came as an incentive from ford).

Haven't seen any FiSTs on the road here yet in metro Vancouver.

Pretty much a private club still. Have yet to see another Fiesta ST in the Okanagan.

Driving my Green Envy around Vancouver :troll:

The only one's I've seen aside from mine so far have been sitting in dealerships. Get's a lot of compliments... More than the more expensive vehicles I've had. (Not that I've had anything very expensive.)

Such a fun car!

Welcome to a pretty exclusive club though. Not many going to be out there.

I see a bunch of the regular Fiesta's around.
