Recently I was back at covering cars, I got myself interested in blogging about it again when I saw the new Ford Explorer, and then we had a little test drive of the 2011 Kia Picanto. But we are not going to talk about it now.
I was invited to the First Birthday Celebration of Ford Fiesta in the Philippines which was held on the 2nd floor of MC Home Depot at the Fort Global City in Taguig on October 15, 2011. I was excited to attend since I know that there will be a lot of Ford Fiesta in the party, it will be fun taking photos of these sub-compact cars parked side by side. And like we celebrate a true Fiesta in the Philippines, the whole place was flooded by Ford Fiesta!
And here are some stuff you should know about Ford Fiesta, seven of them.
